About this job

The Robotics and Mechatronics Teams at Agile Robots are looking for a (Senior) Systems and Safety Engineer (m/f/d) , who will own system-level engineering and functional safety for our robot. You'll decide whether a design is safe enough to ship, since missing a hazard here risks real injury.

System Architecture: Define, maintain, and review system and subsystem architecture, including interfaces, functional decomposition, and requirements allocation across the system.
Hazard & Safety Analysis: Perform hazard analysis, risk assessment, and failure analysis (FMEA, FMEDA, fault tree analysis where applicable), and define the safety concepts, safety functions, and fault reaction strategies that follow from it.
Certification Work Products: Develop and maintain the safety and systems engineering work products required for certification, including the safety plan, verification and validation plan, and system architecture documentation.
Cross-Team Coordination: Work across hardware, software, mechanical, and test teams to keep the system coherent, safety-compliant, and fully covered by traceable requirements.

Background: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field.
Systems & Safety Experience: Experience applying systems engineering and functional safety practices to complex electromechanical systems.
Failure Analysis Techniques: Hands-on experience conducting FMEA, FMEDA, or fault tree analysis to identify and assess system hazards.
Safety Standards: Solid understanding of machinery and robot safety standards, including ISO 10218, ISO 13849, IEC 61508, IEC 60204, IEC 61800, and IEC 61010.
Schematics & Firmware Literacy: Ability to read and understand electronic schematics and related firmware at a system level.

A dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.
Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
Lots of development opportunities as we continue to grow.
Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.
