In this role, your ability to translate technical and regulatory requirements into consistent review processes will be essential.

In this role you will...

  • Collaborate with Legal, AI Software, and Safety Strategy teams to ensure appropriate interpretation of behavioral requirements and failure modes.
  • Develop and maintain clear triage guidelines and criteria for both onshore and offshore triage teams.
  • Lead or support training sessions for triage team members and maintain training materials and documentation.
  • Assess complex or ambiguous events, identify patterns, and escalate high-impact findings to internal and cross-functional partners.
  • Provide input to improve behavioral requirements based on observed edge cases and unclear decision boundaries.
  • Support the development of structured metrics and miners to evaluate triage consistency and quality.
  • Support regulatory reporting processes as needed.

    • Qualifications

  • MS in Transportation Engineering, Systems Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a strong understanding of AV requirements, road user behavior, and traffic regulations.
  • 2+ years of experience working with safety-critical systems in AV, Automotive, Transportation Engineering, or a closely related industry.
  • Strong understanding of behavioral safety concepts and the ability to interpret vehicle behavior in real-world contexts.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams and communicating technical content clearly to both engineering and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong organizational skills with attention to detail, especially in process development and documentation.

    • Bonus Qualifications

  • PhD in Engineering or technical field
  • Prior experience with AV safety or system behavior triage
  • Familiarity with data tools (e.g., SQL, Python, scripting, visualization) to support analysis
  • Familiarity with ISO 26262 or other functional safety standards
