Description
About the Role
In the high-stakes environments where our systems operate, safety and reliability are non-negotiable. As our Staff Safety Engineer, you’ll be the expert voice ensuring our autonomous ground platforms are safe, dependable, and maintainable from the first design sketch to final deployment in the field.
You will be a central guide for our hardware, software, and systems teams, embedding resilience into every layer of our technology. Your work is critical to our mission: delivering autonomous systems that our partners can trust without question when it matters most.
What You'll Build
- A comprehensive safety and reliability function for our core system development programs, setting the standard for excellence
- Identify, assess, and mitigate risks through structured risk assessments and targeted risk-reduction activities
- Rigorous safety analyses, including FMEA/FMECA and fault tree analysis (FTA), that provide clear, actionable insights to our engineering teams
- Traceable safety requirements throughout the entire system architecture, ensuring integrity from concept to delivery
- Structured assessments that actively shape system design and prevent issues before they arise
- Failure mode identification and mitigation strategies that reduce operational risk across complex, safety-critical systems
- Data-driven mitigation strategies that reduce operational risk and continuously improve system performance in the field
- Root cause investigations that not only solve problems but also strengthen the long-term integrity of our systems
- A culture of safety-first thinking by mentoring engineers and advancing best practices across the organization
What You Bring
- A strong background in Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline
- Minimum 8+ years significant hands-on experience in safety engineering for complex products
- Deep, applied expertise in FMEA, FTA, and other risk analysis methodologies
- A proven track record working with mission-critical systems where failure is not an option
- Practical knowledge of key safety standards (like ISO 13849, MIL-STD-882E, or IEC 61508) and how to apply them effectively
- The ability to pair strong analytical thinking with a practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving
- A highly collaborative spirit that unites different engineering disciplines toward a common safety goal
- Excellent communication skills, making complex safety concepts clear to technical and non-technical colleagues alike

About this role
ARX Robotics is building autonomous ground platforms for defense and first-response operations, where safety failures carry real consequences. As Staff Safety Engineer, you'd own the safety and reliability function across the company's core development programs—from initial design through field deployment. This means conducting rigorous analyses like FMEA, FTA, and fault tree work; establishing traceable safety requirements throughout system architecture; identifying failure modes and mitigation strategies; and guiding hardware, software, and systems teams toward designs that prevent problems before they arise. You'd also investigate root causes, develop maintenance concepts, and mentor engineers to embed safety-first thinking across the organization.
The role demands 8+ years of hands-on safety and reliability engineering for complex, mission-critical products, with deep expertise in FMEA, FTA, and relevant standards like ISO 13849 or MIL-STD-882E. A background in systems, electrical, mechanical, or aerospace engineering is expected. Beyond technical rigor, you need the ability to translate complex safety concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences, and the collaborative instinct to unite different disciplines around a shared safety goal.
ARX offers competitive compensation with bonus, 27–30 vacation days, employer pension contributions, learning and development support, and hybrid flexibility from their Munich office. They're explicit that you don't need to check every box to apply—they value motivated candidates ready to grow into the expertise the role demands.
