Hiring: Systems Engineer, Safety Company: Bedrock Robotics Location: San Francisco, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-09 18:04:08 Target Skills & Keywords : Make, Segment About the job Experience: •8+ years of experience in systems engineering, with direct involvement in functional safety work products (e.g., under ISO 13849, ISO 26262, or IEC 61508) Required Skills: •Bedrock is looking for a Systems Engineer with safety engineering experience to define and maintain the system-level architecture that allows autonomous construction equipment to operate safely around people and other equipment. This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering and functional safety: the person in it will decompose system-level requirements across hardware, software, and mechanical subsystems, while ensuring that safety analysis and safety requirements are built into that architecture from the start rather than added afterward. •This role will work directly with the teams designing sensing, compute, and actuation systems, and will be expected to make and defend technical tradeoffs that affect both system performance and safety posture. •What You'll Do •Develop actionable requirements and metrics for the system, with a focus on safety •Support development of the functional safety concept and supporting technical safety concepts for the system •Define and maintain system-level architecture and interface requirements across hardware, software, and mechanical subsystems •Lead or contribute to safety analyses, such as HARA, FMEA, STPA, and FTA, and translate findings into system and hardware requirements •Define safety mechanisms such as redundancy, diagnostics, watchdogs, and graceful degradation, and verify their implementation •Participate in design reviews across hardware, software, and mechanical disciplines, with particular attention to failure modes and safety-relevant interfaces •Work with the V&V lead to establish verification and validation plans, including test methodology •Support root cause analysis for field and test issues where system-level or safety-relevant causes are suspected •What We're Looking For •8+ years of experience in systems engineering, with direct involvement in functional safety work products (e.g., under ISO 13849, ISO 26262, or IEC 61508) •Strong ability to work with data to drive system understanding and feature prioritization and develop trade studies •Experience with verification and validation methods Compensation: •$3 •$5 •$350 Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
