We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works.\nAs our (Senior) Verification Engineer, Functional Safety (m/f/d), you build and run the verification process that proves our safety controller and the safety software on our robots do what the safety requirements say, release after release. You own the evidence that our certification body reviews. If something is broken, you fix it. If something can be automated, you build it.\nYou will join the Safety & Compliance team in Munich, which is developing a new safety controller in-house while keeping the safety-software system on our robots today certified and moving forward. Verification has not had a dedicated owner so far, so you create the structure, the catalog and the process rather than only executing an existing one. You work daily with the safety (software) engineers and with TÜV to define what must be verified. Early on, you set up and prove the verification system for the current system, and you then carry it into the certification of the new controller.\nYour Responsibilities\nOwn the verification of our new safety controller end to end, from the verification plan to the certification evidence (target PL d per ISO 13849-1:2023 and SIL 2 per IEC 61508)\n\nBuild the complete verification catalog and set up the verification process and structure from scratch\n\nVerify the safety software at unit and integration level with automated tests including fault and robustness cases, structural coverage, static analysis, and code and requirement reviews\n\nAutomate verification so that it runs on every change\n\nVerify the controller and its safety functions as part of the robot arm against ISO 10218-1:2025\n\nKeep traceability from risk assessment to test results and write reports that hold up in an audit\n\nWork closely with the safety (software) engineers and TÜV to define what must be verified\n\nReview the verification work of your colleagues and share your practices with the team\n\nWe're looking for someone who has:\nA degree in a technical field such as software, electrical or mechanical engineering, or equivalent experience\n\n3+ years of experience verifying or testing safety-critical embedded systems in industrial automation, automotive, rail, aerospace or medical devices\n\nEnough embedded C to write white-box tests and to find defects in a code review\n\nWorking knowledge of IEC 61508-3 or its industry counterpart (ISO 26262-6, EN 50716, DO-178C) and the verification evidence it requires\n\nHands-on lab skills with oscilloscope, logic analyser and debugger, including measuring a reaction time you can defend\n\nNice to have:\nExperience with EtherCAT and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) or another safety protocol such as PROFIsafe or CIP Safety is a plus\n\nExperience with ISO 10218-1:2025, ISO 13849-1:2023 or IEC 62061, HIL tooling, coverage and static analysis tools (e.g. VectorCAST, TESSY, LDRA, Polyspace), MISRA C, robot kinematics, or working with a certification body such as TÜV is a plus\n\nClear technical writing and fluent English (C1+); German is a plus\n\nHow you'll make an impact\nYou drive complex, ambiguous work to clear outcomes and raise the quality of your colleagues' work through review and mentorship.\n\nYou translate goals into plans independently, identify improvements to processes and tooling, and make most decisions in your area.\n\nYou bring specialized expertise and cross-functional knowledge, and solve complex problems with strong analytical and contextual judgment.\n\nWhy join RobCo?\nDevelop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation.\n\nHelp us build robots equipped with state-of-the-art AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time.\n\nAs part of a very dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you will take on responsibility from day one, drive your own projects, and see the direct impact of your work.\n\nFlat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decisions and support your professional and personal development.\n\nWellpass membership (7,200+ studios across Germany), regular team events, and a team that takes both the work and the culture seriously.\n\nFlexible working hours, a modern office, and - depending on the role - the option to work from home.\n\nRegular team events - from relaxed beer & pizza nights on the rooftop terrace to shared experiences on ski trips or at Oktoberfest.\n\nAbout RobCo\nFounded in Munich in 2020, RobCo leads the transition toward fully Autonomous Industrial Robotics. Our mission is to deploy RobCo in every factory - solving the industrial labor shortage through end-to-end robotics that just works. Powered by Physical AI, our solutions combine a scalable modular hardware architecture with intelligent software that continuously learns and improves, requiring zero upfront investment through our Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model.\nWe solve our customers' most pressing pain points - labor shortage, cost pressure, workplace safety, and national reshoring - across the full spectrum of Autonomous Industrial Robotics. In October 2026, RobCo reached unicorn status with a valuation exceeding one billion US dollars, with its valuation doubling in less than nine months. With $200M raised from investors including Sequoia, Lightspeed, Lingotto, Kindred, Cherry Ventures, and the European Tech Collective, 225+ people globally, and 3.5M+ operating hours in the field, we are deploying robots in factories across Europe and the United States - with our US operations headquartered in Austin, TX, and our Bay Area Lab in San Francisco.\nDon’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.\nAt RobCo, applicants are selected regardless of ethnic origin, religion, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation. All decisions throughout the recruitment process are based solely on applicants’ qualifications, skills, knowledge, and experience, as well as relevant business requirements.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6429,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":true}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Robotics","Collaborative Robots (Cobots)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T11:15:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":73,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T14:03:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/robco-senior-verification-engineer-functional-safety-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/robco-senior-verification-engineer-functional-safety-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T14:03:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29255,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":52440},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=52440"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frobco-senior-verification-engineer-functional-safety-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frobco-senior-verification-engineer-functional-safety-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frobco-senior-verification-engineer-functional-safety-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/robco-senior-verification-engineer-functional-safety-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frobco-senior-verification-engineer-functional-safety-mfd"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4157774}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"rob.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4157774},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
