Our mandate flows directly from Woven’s commitment to “zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.”
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
A safety-minded systems engineer who can execute our safety case strategy for both public roads development testing and production.

This is a senior individual contributor role with deep hands-on engagement across automated driving feature teams, Systems Engineering, AI Safety, HW, operational safety, and compliance. You bring rigor, consistency, and practical judgment to make our internal product demonstrably safe for mass production.
