설명

Remote: This role is categorized as remote. This means the successful candidate may be based anywhere in the United States and is not expected to report to a GM worksite unless directed by their manager.

The Role

The Safety Assurance for Effective Autonomous Driving Software (SAFE-ADS) department is part of the Global Product Safety, System, and Certification (GPSSC) organization at GM.  This department serves as the central body for automated driving system (ADS) safety and brings together expertise from across the company to establish a comprehensive safety case. GM’s vision is zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion – AV safety is at the heart of driving forward this vision.

Our scope spans several organizations cross GM, requiring us to work directly with executive leaders, their team members, and strategic partners to build and deploy safe autonomous capabilities at scale. As the Principal Safety & System Engineer for AV SOTIF with a focus of the human as part of the system, you will report directly to the head of AV Safety Strategy and Assessment.  This role is responsible for providing technical guidance and expertise in support of the program test and production safety cases.  The human driver is a critical part of the overall system performance, and the assumptions used in the design of the automated driving system need to be verified and justified.

What You’ll Do

The Principle AV SOTIF and Human Factors role will be engaged early in the development cycle to identify, assess and develop mitigation strategies for hazards considering the human as part of the system.  This would include hazards that a test system operator or customer could experience or introduce to the automated driving system.   This role will support and drive analyses to align with ISO 2148 Safety of the Intended Function (SOTIF) standard and encompass operations in closed course testing, validation testing on-road and the system as its intended to be deployed with customers. The work ranges from collaborating with operations on measuring effectiveness of operator training to working with engineers on proactively identifying human factors risks to account for in feature designs.

The following are tasks that this role can be expected to perform:

  • Identify and monitor key performance metrics and indicators to help ensure both process and continuous improvement. Reports on safety issues, trends, & recommendations to development program and executives.

  • Perform risk assessment for safety critical operations using quantitative (STPAs) and qualitative methods.

  • Support system human interfaces through safety analysis techniques including considerations for usability, mental load, ergonomics, and workload.

  • Develop requirements with systems engineering and engineering to account for human interface, usability, ergonomics and to minimize the potential for human error that could lead to safety critical scenarios 

  • Assist with the development and execution of the safety audit program strategy and plan to help ensure effective safety controls

  • Support root cause analysis and implement corrective action plans to eliminate or minimize exposure to identified risks

  • Review concept of operations, operational procedures, training materials and operational changes for hazards and develop operational safety requirements to embed in the process to control risks.

  • Partner with the systems and engineering team to develop methods to identify emerging risk trends.

  • Champion safety case technical claims related to the human driver and work with the safety case team to establish safety case assessment plans and execute these plans

This job is not eligible for relocation benefits. Any relocation costs would be the responsibility of the selected candidate.
