Senior Functional Safety Engineer/Safety Systems Engineer - M/F/D

Non‑negotiables for this role 3+ years hands-on programming of SICK safety controllers using SICK Safety Designer (professional, production use). Electrical Engineering background with strong hands-on commissioning / troubleshooting on real vehicles. Confident Python programming and ability to read and debug existing Python code (integration of safety system with application logic). About Navflex Navflex builds autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that operate in real warehouse and dock environments where safety, uptime, and reliability are mission-critical. Our robots must perform safely around people, forklifts, and mixed traffic while delivering measurable efficiency improvements for customers. Role Overview As our Senior Functional Safety & Safety Controls Engineer, you will own the end-to-end safety implementation on our mobile robotic platforms — from safety concept and risk assessment through hands-on implementation in SICK safety controllers and validation on the vehicle. You will work on the robot every day, iterate quickly, and ensure our safety behavior remains correct as platforms, sensors, and use cases evolve. This role is highly hands-on and combines functional safety engineering with real-world safety controller programming and software integration. You will collaborate closely with robotics software (navigation/perception/control), electrical and mechanical engineering, and field operations to deliver safety solutions that scale across platforms and deployments. What You Will Own Safety controller architecture and implementation across Navflex AMR/AGV platforms, with a strong focus on SICK safety controllers. Day-to-day development, commissioning, troubleshooting, and versioned configuration management of SICK Safety Designer projects. Safety integration points between the safety controller and the robot application stack (status, modes, field switching, diagnostics), including Python-based tooling/software components. Safety verification and validat
