Company

hirify.global develops connected machines, software, autonomy, AI, edge-computing architectures, and data platforms for safer, more productive, and more sustainable jobsites.

What you will do

• Own and prioritize the Safety & Regulatory Compliance product backlog and define the roadmap for autonomous, semi-autonomous, and remote-controlled construction machines from proof of concept through production and lifecycle support.
• Translate regulations, standards, safety analyses, operational constraints, and corporate policies into product requirements, functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and release criteria.
• Lead hazard identification, risk assessments, mitigation planning, residual-risk management, and product-level safety planning across machines, autonomy systems, remote-control systems, infrastructure, and operational environments.
• Drive traceability from hazards and regulatory obligations through architecture, implementation, verification, validation, residual risk, and compliance evidence.
• Define safety readiness and compliance gates, go/no-go criteria, escalation paths, KPIs, and release constraints for demonstrations, pilots, releases, and production deployment.
• Build safety cases and compliance evidence while supporting audits, regulatory reviews, conformity assessments, certification activities, customer safety reviews, and deployment approvals.

Requirements

• Knowledge of safety principles for autonomous, semi-autonomous, and remote-controlled mobile machinery, including sensing, perception, localization, planning, control, communications, human-machine interaction, degraded operation, fallback, and safe-state behavior.
• Working knowledge of functional safety, safety-related control systems, hazard analysis, risk assessment, safety integrity or performance requirements, verification, validation, and safety-case development for complex electromechanical and software-intensive systems.
• Ability to identify applicable regulations, standards, and market or site requirements; translate them into a product compliance strategy; and maintain readiness as requirements evolve.
• Ability to decompose product-level safety outcomes into system and subsystem requirements and maintain bidirectional traceability across hazards, requirements, architecture, implementation, tests, and compliance evidence.
• Ability to facilitate hazard identification, assess and prioritize risk, evaluate residual risk, and manage safety issues and changes throughout the product lifecycle.
• Product management capability covering roadmaps, backlogs, tradeoffs, measurable outcomes, dependencies, technical feasibility, safety, compliance, and delivery needs.
• Ability to align engineering, safety, validation, legal and regulatory, operations, customers, and leadership around safety objectives and release readiness without relying solely on direct authority.
• 4+ years of experience spanning technical product management, autonomy or robotics, functional safety, systems engineering, machine controls, remote operations, safety engineering, regulatory compliance, or related technical leadership roles.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for explaining complex safety and regulatory topics to product, engineering, executive, customer, and regulator audiences.

Nice to have

• Experience leading safety and compliance strategy from concept and requirements through roadmap execution, validation, deployment, and lifecycle support.
• Experience with autonomous or semi-autonomous mobile machinery and/or remote operator control systems in earth-moving, mining, construction, agriculture, industrial, automotive, or other safety-critical applications.
• Working knowledge of ISO 17757, ISO 15817, the ISO 19014 functional-safety series, ISO 12100, and other regional or machine-specific requirements.
• Experience applying hazard analysis and risk assessment methods and converting risks into implementable safety requirements and validated mitigations.
• Experience with safety-related control systems, including performance requirements, architecture, hardware and software considerations, diagnostics, fault response, and verification evidence.
• Experience defining safety requirements for emergency stop, controlled stop, obstacle or person detection, speed and motion limits, geofencing, control-mode transitions, remote-control link loss, degraded operation, fallback, fault recovery, and safe-state behavior.
• Experience building or contributing to safety cases, compliance matrices, requirements-to-test traceability, regulatory submissions, audits, certification activities, or formal release-readiness reviews.

Culture & Benefits

• Onsite work at the Irving office five days per week as part of a global technology, digital, and data organization.
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits, paid time off, parental and adoption benefits, disability benefits, and life insurance.
• 401(k) savings plan, HSA, FSAs, voluntary benefits, employee discounts, and incentive bonus opportunities.
• Career development and tuition reimbursement programs.
• Employee assistance and health lifestyle programs.
