Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Staff Systems Engineer - Fernride GmbH - **Company:** Quantum-Systems GmbH - **Location:** München, Germany - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Systems Engineering, Github, Software Tools, Markdown, Software Requirements Analysis, Software Security - **Published:** May 23, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=e7ea1eec8bab925e ## About the Role Do you have experience in Program management?, Do you have a Bachelor's degree?, * Experience defining Operational Design Domains, CONOPS scenarios, and system-level safety functions for robotic or autonomous platforms. * Ability to construct and defend residual risk arguments toward regulators, customers, and program management. * Strong collaboration skills across multidisciplinary teams - you bridge product management, engineering, and V&V. * Interest in AI-assisted engineering workflows and willingness to shape how AI tools support safety analysis and compliance management. * Comfortable working with software development tools - GitHub, VS Code, Bazel, Markdown, CI/CD pipelines - to operate and evolve the AI-assisted methodology. ## Description As a senior system safety expert, you will own and shape this discipline from the ground up: define the safety case architecture, build the processes, and set the standard. You will work across product management, design assurance, product security, engineering teams, and V&V to ensure safety is embedded in the product from hazard analysis through to operational deployment. As the product matures, you will grow your domain into a team. What is your Day to Day Mission: * Establish and maintain the system safety process and safety case architecture. * Define and maintain the Operational Design Domain (ODD) - environmental, operational, and scenario boundaries for safe operation. * Conduct CONOPS scenario analysis - operational scenarios, mode transitions, degraded modes, and edge cases. * Conduct hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA) - system-level hazards, risk ratings, safety functions, and operational risk reduction measures. * Conduct SOTIF analysis - performance limitations and triggering conditions that lead to hazardous behavior without component faults. * Define safety functions and safety integrity targets without prescribing implementation architecture. * Define system-level validation criteria for safe behavior in operational scenarios. * Own system-level risk acceptance - residual risk arguments, release conditions, and operational restrictions. * Define operational measures - operator procedures, training requirements, warnings, and use restrictions. * Manage the regulatory register and safety-relevant compliance matrices (Machinery Regulation, AI Act). * Allocate safety functions and integrity targets to Design Assurance and Product Security; arbitrate safety-security conflicts (e.g., fail-open vs. fail-secure); coordinate cross-domain risk management. * Communicate safety functions and ODD constraints as system requirements to engineering teams; review architecture proposals for hazard coverage; participate in scenario reviews and field trials. * Coordinate with Quantum Systems core group on safety aspects of the C3 system (MOSAIC, GCS) and multi-domain operation. * Define validation scenarios and acceptance criteria for V&V including edge cases, degraded modes, and SOTIF triggering conditions; review and accept validation evidence for safety claims. * Develop and maintain AI-assisted workflows for safety analysis, compliance auditing, and traceability management., * Culture & Environment: A dynamic, fast-paced, and collaborative startup environment with flat hierarchies, efficient collaboration, and a strong emphasis on continuous learning opportunities. * Work-life Balance: We offer flexible work schedules, and 30 days of paid vacation each year to support your personal and professional life. * Lunch Benefit: We promote healthy eating and the well-being of our employees with a monthly lunch budget. * Health & Wellness: We support your physical well-being with a company-subsidized eGym Wellpass membership, giving you access to thousands of gyms and sports facilities. ## Related Videos - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Why Is Software Documentation Still Static – And Why Modern Browsers Deserve Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2054-why-is-software-documentation-still-static-and-why-modern-browsers-deserve-better) - [ Secure Code Superstars: Empowering Developers and Surpassing Security Challenges Together](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/422-secure-code-superstars-empowering-developers-and-surpassing-security-challenges-together) - [Architecting the Future: Leveraging AI, Cloud, and Data for Business Success](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1096-architecting-the-future-leveraging-ai-cloud-and-data-for-business-success) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) - [How Lufthansa Industry Solutions is preparing for the Quantum Age! ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1443-how-lufthansa-industry-solutions-is-preparing-for-the-quantum-age) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [Frontend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/195-frontend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023)
