Senior Safety Engineer

Senior Safety Engineer ARX Robotics Munich, Germany About the Role In high-stakes environments, safety and reliability are absolute. As our Senior Safety Engineer, you will embed these principles into the core of our autonomous ground systems. You will pioneer the engineering practices that ensure our products are safe, dependable, and maintainable from the first design sketch to final deployment in the field. Working across systems, hardware, and software teams, you ll be the central node for identifying risks and building resilience into every layer of our technology. Your expertise will directly shape the trustworthiness of our systems, ensuring that security and military forces can depend on them when it matters most. What You ll Build Establish and lead the safety function across our system development programs, setting the standard for how we embed resilience into our products Define and maintain traceable safety reuirements that guide our systems from concept through to delivery Identify, assess, and mitigate risks through structured risk assessments and targeted risk-reduction activities Conduct rigorous safety analyses (like FMEA or FTA) that directly inform and improve system architecture and design Lead structured safety reviews that actively shape technical decisions and contribute to a culture of safety-by-design Identify potential failure modes and develop robust mitigation strategies to reduce operational risk in complex, safety-critical systems Use operational data and performance trends to conduct data-driven analyses, continuously improving system behavior and reliability Lead root cause investigations and implement corrective action frameworks that strengthen system integrity over time What You Bring A Master's degree in Safety Engineering, Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field Minimum 4 to 5+ years of hands-on experience in Safety Engineering Solid experience in FMEA or FTA, and risk analysis - applied to real, complex systems Proven experience working with safety-critical or mission-critical systems where failure is not an option Solid knowledge of some of the relevant Safety standards and how to apply them in practice (e.g.: ISO 12100, ISO 13849, MIL-STD-882E, NATO AEP-4754, IEC 61508, ISO 3691) Strong analytical thinking paired with practical problem-solving - you identify the risk and then drive the fix A collaborative approach that allows you to work effectively across engineering disciplines and bring alignment to complex technical programs The ability to document Safety concepts Excellent communication skills, making complex safety concepts clear to technical and non-technical colleagues alike.
