As a Functional Safety Engineer at Gravis, you will own the safety lifecycle for our robotic and automated
systems — from initial hazard analysis through to validation and regulatory submission. Working at the
intersection of systems, hardware, and software engineering, you will translate safety requirements into
robust designs and ensure our products are safe by design, whether they're operating on a Swiss quarry
or a live construction site in Manchester. This role puts you at the heart of some of the most technically
demanding and consequential work in autonomous machinery.
