We are looking for a Principal Safety Engineer to join our Autonomous Driving team in Europe. You will play a critical role in ensuring the safety integrity of our Level 4 automated driving systems, working across the full stack - from system architecture to regulatory approval - to bring safe autonomous mobility to real-world deployment.

About us With over 200 million customers in 50+ countries, Bolt is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and Africa. And it's all thanks to our people. We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability. Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars, and we need your help to achieve this mission!

About the role As a Principal Safety Engineer, you will be the technical authority for safety across our Autonomous Product. You will own the end-to-end safety case - from hazard identification and system design through to regulatory approval - ensuring our systems meet the highest standards of functional safety, SOTIF, and cybersecurity. You will shape how safety is embedded across the organisation, influencing system architecture, engineering practices, and decision-making at every level. You will work closely with engineering, product, and regulatory stakeholders to define what "safe enough" means - and ensure it is rigorously achieved and demonstrated.

Main tasks and responsibilities: Own and maintain the system-level safety case for the ADS, covering ISO 26262, ISO 21448 (SOTIF), ISO/SAE 21434 and more. Lead hazard analysis (HARA), ODD definition, and safety architecture across different products. Define and drive verification and validation strategies for different deployments. Establish and govern safety processes, including safety reviews, KPIs, and release approvals to fleet. Ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks (e.g. UN WP.29, EU AV legislation) and support type approval readiness. Collaborate across teams to embed safety principles into system design, development, and deployment. Experience with ML safety, explainability, or perception system robustness is nice to have.

About you: Extensive experience (10-12+ years) in automotive, robotics, or aerospace systems engineering, including leadership in safety-critical domains. Strong expertise in functional safety (ISO 26262), SOTIF (ISO 21448), and automotive cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434). Proven track record delivering safety cases and supporting certification or type approval for complex systems. Deep understanding of autonomous driving system architecture (perception, sensor fusion, planning, control). Proven record or familiarity with Safety conformity of end to end based Autonomous drive. e.g ISO/PAS 8800. Familiarity with tools such as DOORS, Polarion, Codebeamer, or similar requirements and safety tooling. Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don't tick every box, please consider applying if you feel you're the kind of person described above!
