Senior Systems Safety Engineer - Autonomous Vehicles

Apply for the Senior Systems Safety Engineer - Autonomous Vehicles position at NVIDIA. This role involves leading efforts in developing safe, AI-powered autonomous driving systems using V-Model methodologies. You will work closely with diverse teams of engineers to derive functional and safety requirements, contribute to architecture decomposition and validation, and guide teams in system safety engineering methodologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work closely with diverse teams of engineers to derive functional and safety requirements from use cases and driving modes on the left side of the V-Model, and to integrate and validate requirements on the right.
• Contribute to architecture decomposition and architecture validation, and will teach and mentor the development teams in requirements process, work flow and good requirements composition practices.
• Guide teams in system safety engineering methodologies for development and verification.
• Apply your skills to help teams with requirements traceability, verification methodologies for safety, manage conflicting and changing requirements, and establish and manage projects in JAMA.
• Collaborate with other teams within NVIDIA on V-Model process improvements, and to support alignment to customer requirement management processes.
