Description:

Latitude AI is an automated driving technology company developing a hands-free, eyes-off driver assist system for next-generation Ford vehicles at scale.
The Functional Safety team ensures the product meets safety standards and creates novel safety approaches for L3 autonomy.
The team is responsible for the entire safety lifecycle during the core development and application of the system into a serial-production vehicle.
The role involves leading functional safety activities across the software organization to design safety into the system and onboard autonomy and platform software.
Responsibilities include translating ISO-26262 part 6 requirements into actions for software development, building functional safety software for safety-critical applications, and leading software safety architecture development.
The engineer will create, coordinate, and track requirements for embedded high-performance software development activities.
The position requires interfacing with various teams to drive traceability between system-level requirements and software safety specifications.
The engineer will create automated tests to verify software functionality and lead safety activities such as qualification of pre-existing software components.
The role also involves contributing to the development of the complete system safety case and working with project management on functional safety processes.
