About the Job

Requirements

  • A Master of Science or PhD in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field.
  • More than three years of experience in Functional Safety Engineering, including at least two years as an active Functional Safety Manager, combining governance oversight with hands-on project work in safety planning, competency management, and Safety Case development.
  • In-depth expertise in IEC 61508, ISO 13849, and ISO 10218.
  • Strong familiarity with ISO 26262, SOTIF, and the EU Machinery Regulation and CE marking.
  • Knowledge of HARA, FMEA, FTA, STPA, ETA, reliability modeling, and structured argumentation (GSN/CAE).
  • Competence with Medini, APIS IQ, DOORS, Polarion, or similar tools.
  • Demonstrated experience coaching safety engineers in dynamic multi-product environments.
  • Ability to explain the rationale behind safety decisions to engineers, managers, and auditors.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the functional safety strategy across the product portfolio and establish lifecycle processes, safety plans, and governance structures aligned with IEC 61508 and ISO 13849.
  • Build and develop assigned safety engineers across product lines; set priorities, create safety plans, track implementation, and coach engineers from the initial risk assessment (RA, HARA) through Safety Case completion.
  • Own the end-to-end Safety Case methodology and drive HARA, FMEA, FTA, and STPA campaigns; ensure requirements derivation, traceability, and verification across hardware, software, and systems; deliver a robust safety argument for each product line.
  • Develop safety concepts based on analyses and cross-functional collaboration and ensure their implementation in products.
  • Serve as the primary safety interface for executive management, certification authorities, notified bodies, and auditors; align delivery of safety evidence with certification schedules.
  • Monitor the evolving regulatory landscape, including the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, AI Act, and ISO/TR 23482, proactively adapt the safety approach, and drive cross-project lessons learned.

Desired Qualifications

  • A TÜV FSEng, CFSE, or Exida certification is strongly preferred.
  • Experience with autonomous or AI-supported robotic systems is a strong differentiator.

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.
