About this role

The Operations Safety Engineer owns field and experiment safety for autonomous-driving public-road pilots and commercial operations. The role connects development, operations, and external stakeholders through a Safety Management System (SMS), translating field findings into safety requirements and operational limits such as ODD constraints.

Responsibilities include pre-deployment ODD and risk assessment, scenario-based hazard analysis, test-plan safety reviews, change reassessment, go/no-go criteria, operator competency requirements, manuals, emergency procedures, and incident or near-miss investigations. HAZOP, FMEA, FTA, and STPA are named risk methods; corrective and preventive actions are tracked, and safety topics are explained to municipalities, police, regulators, and customers.

Applicants need at least five years of practical experience in safety engineering, vehicle testing, or field operations in a relevant industrial domain. They must have performed safety analysis, implemented procedures with field teams, investigated incidents, and coordinated varied stakeholders. Advanced Japanese communication for field and government interactions and the ability to read and write technical documents in English are required.
