Senior Systems and Safety Engineer

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.

Responsibilities

• Requirements Management: Elicit, write, review, and manage system, subsystem, and safety requirements with full traceability, keeping requirements, architecture, implementation, and verification artifacts linked across the system lifecycle.
• 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.

Skills

• 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.
