This team is responsible for the definition and feasibility studies of innovative driving assistance systems such as our new Navigation On Autopilot (NOA) which will be able to take its users from their home to their final destination in a fluid manner.

In this context, your role within the System/Safety/Validation team will primarily consist of defining methodologies aimed at strengthening the safety of artificial intelligence-based components, essential for this type of critical system.

Assigned missions, in collaboration with the Safety expert and the AI team:

• Define the operational design domain (ODD) of the NOA system for urban driving.
• Identify and evaluate dangerous NOA scenarios related to the perception of traffic lights and road signs, with an emphasis on critical consequences.
• Establish functional and performance safety requirements for AI-based subsystems.
• Apply the new automotive standard ISO/PAS 8800 to traffic light and road sign detection algorithms.
• Draft the necessary technical documentation to support the AI/Safety teams in the implementation of this new standard.

About you:

• Initial education level: Bac +5
• Degree prepared: Engineering school with specialization in operational safety
• Aptitude for research and innovation
• Knowledge of risk analysis techniques
• Knowledge of autonomous vehicle technologies.
• Curiosity, autonomy, analytical mind and pragmatism.
• Ability to adapt and innovate in the face of complex problems.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Languages: English mandatory

Additional skills (optional):

• Knowledge of SOTIF (ISO 21448) and ISO 26262 standards
• Knowledge of Python and Machine Learning algorithm learning techniques
