About the role
We are seeking a Senior Functional Safety Engineer to join our team and lead customer-facing engagements across the safety and compliance lifecycle. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in functional safety engineering, risk assessment, and certification, and can provide both technical expertise and structured leadership in achieving certification outcomes. Candidates must have experience in industrial functional safety, not just automotive, and should have a relevant TÜV or similar certification.

- Functional Safety / EMC: IEC 61508, IEC 61010-1, IEC 62368
- Tools, Templates, and Methods
