AIM delivers autonomous earthmoving for mining, construction, and defense. Transform your fleet with AI-powered machines that maximize productivity and safety. Backed by General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
You're an experienced embedded safety engineer who has helped bring safety-critical hardware and software products into production. You understand functional safety beyond documentation and compliance — you've designed safety mechanisms, evaluated system hazards, developed verification strategies, and made difficult engineering decisions to ensure products are safe to deploy. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Systems Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of professional experience in embedded systems, functional safety, or safety-critical product development, including demonstrated senior-level technical ownership
- Direct experience contributing to the development and release of a safety-critical product involving both hardware and software
- Hands-on experience applying functional safety standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or comparable industry standards
- Experience performing hazard analysis, risk assessments, and failure mode analysis
- Experience defining safety requirements and developing verification strategies for safety-critical systems
More about this role
AIM builds autonomy for the real world — robots that move mountains. Our systems fuse software, hardware, robotics, and mission-critical infrastructure into ruggedized, safety-critical machinery operating on jobsites across the world. We replace decades of manual, error-prone, high-risk work with intelligent machines that reshape how earthmoving is done.
Safety is foundational to everything we build. Our autonomous systems operate in complex, unpredictable environments where software and hardware decisions have direct physical consequences. As we scale our fleet and develop our next generation of hardware, we're building the engineering practices, safety systems, and verification processes required to deploy autonomy responsibly and reliably.
We're looking for a Senior Embedded Safety Engineer to help define how AIM approaches functional safety across our autonomous machines. Learn more about AIM here.
