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 are a systems thinker who understands that safety emerges from the interaction of hardware, software, human behavior, and operational environments . You have experience designing and validating safety-critical systems , ideally in robotics, autonomy, industrial machinery, aerospace, or automotive systems.
What they're looking for
- analyzing hazards
- defining safety architectures
- designing validation strategies
- working with operators and field engineers to ensure real-world safety
- You take ownership of system outcomes, not just analysis documents. You ensure safety requirements translate into real system behavior and operational procedures
- Most importantly, you help organizations build safety into engineering culture and system design , not bolt it on afterward
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. Autonomous heavy machinery introduces safety challenges that do not exist in traditional robotics or automotive autonomy. AIM machines operate in dynamic environments where terrain is constantly changing, multiple machines operate in close proximity, and human workers interact directly with robotic equipment. Safety is therefore not a single subsystem - it is a system-level property that must be designed into every layer of the autonomy stack and operational workflow. We’re building the safety systems, architectures, and validation frameworks that allow autonomous machines to operate reliably around people, equipment, and critical infrastructure. We’re growing fast, scaling globally, and building the engineering foundation that will define the next century of construction.
