Description
Amazon Industrial Robotics is seeking a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated Hardware Functional Safety Engineer to define and design safety-relevant controls for robotics systems and industrial equipment. This candidate should be motivated to adapt well-tried design and safety principles and industrial safety standards into a new and emerging industry. The preferred candidate would have demonstrated experience developing embedded control systems, experience with machine safety and/or functional safety standards, and possess excellent communication skills.
Key job responsibilities
Guiding the design of controls for robotics and industrial automation equipment for use in a functionally safe product.
Performing hazard and risk assessments, and safety analyses of robotics and industrial automation equipment
Writing or reviewing safety requirement specifications, safety management plans, safety concepts, and verification and validation plans.
Applying IEC industrial standards for the development lifecycle of a robotic control system, and coaching developers on processes to apply during this phase.
Collaboratively participating in interdisciplinary teams to execute product designs from concept to production including design, prototype, test, validation, and certification.
Writing or reviewing functional specifications, design verification plans and test procedures
Analyzing failure modes of control circuits, the effect of the failure, and identifying mitigations and diagnostics
Driving projects to closure; ensuring that systems can be manufactured, deployed, maintained, and meet regulatory requirements for certification
Ensuring control systems comply to machinery safety standards (ISO 13849, IEC 62061, IEC 61508, IEC 61496)
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
4+ years of experience with complex electromechanical systems
Experience with safety programs from concept through certification/regulatory process
Demonstrated strong ability to move seamlessly between levels of abstraction – from system to the “nuts and bolts” implementation.
Demonstrated experience working in a regulated industry (Functional Safety, Military, Medical, Automotive, Robotics) applying standards to design and work products.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience programmatically testing products, measuring test coverage, developing the best automation, driving testability and diagnostic
Experience working in a fast-paced, team environment
Experience understanding needs of business and end customers and translating them into right solutions
Experience identifying and resolving complex issues
Experience with electronics systems including microcontrollers, FPGAs, and/or mixed-signal designs
Desire to commit and follow through on complex, multi-year programs
