About the job
At Rhoda AI, we are pioneering the future of humanoid robotics by constructing a robust full-stack foundation that integrates high-performance software-defined hardware with advanced foundational models and video world models. Our innovative robots are engineered to excel as versatile generalists, capable of navigating intricate real-world environments and addressing scenarios not encountered during training. Collaborating at the intersection of large-scale learning, robotics, and systems, our elite research team comprises talented individuals from prestigious institutions such as Stanford, Berkeley, and Harvard. With over $400M in funding, we are committed to an aggressive investment in R&D, hardware development, and scaling up manufacturing to realize our vision.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct thorough Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessments for humanoid robots across various customer applications.
Formulate Functional Safety Concepts, Requirements, and Technical Safety Specifications.
Execute system-level analyses to establish requirements concerning stopping distances, perception, and timing/spatial/force constraints.
Develop requirements for fail-safe and fail-operational behaviors, degraded states, and human-robot interactions.
Create test cases for verification and validation purposes.
Design, engineer, deploy, and utilize system safety validation equipment at HIL, SIL, and system levels.
Desired Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
Certification as a Functional Safety Engineer in IEC 61508 or ISO 26262.
Proven experience in designing safety systems for complex electromechanical products with critical safety components.
Familiarity with optics, machine vision, and computer vision technologies.
Demonstrated history of hands-on engineering work, including test benches, measurement, and root-cause analysis beyond mere documentation.
Practical experience in the verification and validation of safety requirements utilizing HIL and SIL methodologies.
