Overview
About this role
AIM Intelligent Machines is hiring a head of product safety — the person who has to prove that autonomous excavators can work safely around people.
You will lead AIM’s product safety function for autonomous earthmoving machines by defining safety framework, safety concepts, articulating requirements, and guiding regulatory certification to scale commercialization. What you will own: build AIM’s product safety roadmap end-to-end and deliver executable product safety requirements to drive product development; develop and document safety requirements and technical safety concepts, collaborating closely with product, hardware & software engineering, and verification teams; develop system-level safety architectures across AI, hardware, software, autonomy, HMI, and controls; and develop and own the safety plan for safety-critical functions, including HARA, SFMEA, FTA, and DFMEA across AIM’s product portfolio, partnering with 3rd party certification agencies.
Requirements: 10+ years of safety engineering experience in robotics or complex electro-mechanical systems including demonstrated ownership of a full product safety certification cycle; 5+ years building the product safety team; and expertise in distilling standards such as ISO 17757, ISO 19014, ISO 13849, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, or SOTIF. Experience leading and building safety teams, with the ability to attract, develop, and retain strong safety engineering talent, is also listed.
Compensation $215K – $250K • Offers Equity.
About AIM Intelligent Machines
AIM builds autonomy for the real world — robots that move mountains. Its systems combine software, hardware, robotics, and mission-critical infrastructure into ruggedized autonomous machines operating on jobsites around the world. The company treats safety as a system-level property that must be designed across the autonomy stack, machine controls, hardware, operator interfaces, and operational workflows, and is building the safety architectures and validation frameworks that allow autonomous heavy machinery to operate reliably around people, equipment, and critical infrastructure.
