About the Job

Requirements

  • Master’s or PhD in Robotics, Systems Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
  • More than 3 years of Functional Safety Engineering experience for safety-relevant systems across system, software, and hardware levels.
  • Practical experience implementing the safety lifecycle under IEC 61508, ISO 13849, or ISO 26262.
  • Strong knowledge of ISO 13849, IEC 61508, IEC 62061, and ISO 10218.
  • Ability to analyze and synthesize functional safety concepts into coherent architectures, from hazard identification and SIL/PL determination through safety-requirement allocation.
  • Proficiency with HARA, FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, and tools such as Medini or BTC, as well as traceability environments such as DOORS, Jama, or Polarion.
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate hardware, embedded software, control engineering, and certification teams in complex multidisciplinary development environments.
  • Strong communication skills to convey safety concepts effectively across teams.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and maintain functional safety concepts at system, hardware, and software levels for robotic applications from concept through deployment and field operation.
  • Conduct hazard and risk assessments (HARA), FMEA/FMEDA, and FTA tailored to collaborative and autonomous robotic systems.
  • Create and maintain safety plans, safety cases, safety-requirement specifications, and validation reports; develop mature safety concepts and closely support their implementation.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable safety standards, including ISO 13849, IEC 61508, IEC 62061, ISO 10218, and the Machinery Directive.
  • Support audits, third-party assessments, and certification processes.
  • Work with system architects, embedded software, hardware, and control engineers to define, allocate, and validate safety-critical requirements across subsystems and interfaces.
  • Continuously improve safety processes and methods in response to emerging robotics technologies, including AI-based perception, autonomous navigation, and dynamic human-robot collaboration.

Desired Qualifications

  • TÜV Functional Safety Engineer (FSE) certification or equivalent.
  • Experience in robotics, industrial automation, or the automotive sector.
  • Familiarity with ISO 26262 and SOTIF (ISO/PAS 21448) for perception-based safety functions.

About the Company

Neura Robotics

Cognitive robots with perception, manipulation, collaboration

Neura Robotics builds cognitive robots for industrial and service settings, combining perception, manipulation, and human collaboration. It develops both the hardware and the software stack for Physical AI, creating robot platforms like MAiRA, MAV, LARA and MiPA along with training infrastructure. The system works by integrating sensing, decision-making, and manipulation capabilities on a hardware-software stack that can be deployed in large-scale production, with the company planning robots fleets and NEURA Gyms for ongoing training and improvement. What sets Neura Robotics apart is its end-to-end approach to Physical AI, including a focus on mass production, an established global deployment plan, and a broad ecosystem of strategic backers and partners that support scaling and international expansion. The goal is to enable worldwide deployment of its robot platforms and associated training infrastructure, turning physical AI into widely available industrial and service automation.
