About this role

The Head of Safety Strategy builds the organizational framework for demonstrating the safety of TIER IV's autonomous-driving products and processes. The role leads a Safety Management System (SMS) and the capability to produce product- and project-specific safety cases.

Work includes defining the target SMS, finding capability and evidence gaps, prioritizing improvements, and coordinating execution across departments. The leader seeks agreement on safety and risk acceptance with partners and customers and benchmarks international practice.

Applicants need at least ten years in safety-critical industries, experience developing and maintaining SMS frameworks, and technical safety-case experience including GSN argument structures and evidence collection. Deep knowledge of safety standards and methods such as ISO 26262, SOTIF, UL 4600 and STPA, plus collaborative gap-analysis and strategic-execution skills, is required.
