(H/F) Systems Engineer – Robotics Safety & Functional Safety

About

Chez Wandercraft, nous concevons, fabriquons et vendons des robots dont la mission est d’aider les humains à faire ce qu’ils ne peuvent pas faire. Nous mettons en oeuvre les technologies d’AI et de robotique les plus avancées dans les métiers de la santé et de l’industrie.

Atalante X, le premier exosquelette de marche autonome au monde, est utilisé dans plus de 100 centres de rééducation sur 4 continents, et permet à des patients qui ont perdu la marche de ré-apprendre à marcher. Avec Atalante X ils font plus d’un million de pas chaque mois.

Après plus de 10 ans sur le terrain et des milliards de pas analysés, nous lançons Eve, le premier exosquelette personnel auto-équilibré, pensé pour aider les utilisateurs en fauteuil roulant à se lever et marcher dans leur vie quotidienne, chez eux et dans la ville.

Enfin, nous commençons à appliquer notre technologie dans l’industrie, avec la gamme de robots humanoïdes Calvin. Calvin-40, notre premier modèle, a été conçu en 40 jours pour soulager les opérateurs en usine des tâches pénibles ou dangereuses. Bientôt une évolution de Calvin accompagnera des personnes avec une autonomie réduite dans leurs gestes quotidiens.

Depuis Paris et New York, notre équipe de 110 ingénieurs, cliniciens, chercheurs et opérateurs est unie autour d’une même mission : concevoir des robots qui améliorent la vie des humains.

Ce n’est pas une simple équipe que nous assemblons : c’est une aventure portée par des esprits curieux, engagés, des pionniers prêts à construire un futur qui a du sens.

Envie de rejoindre l’aventure ? Viens façonner avec nous la prochaine génération de robotique humanoïde, alimentée par l’IA et guidée par l’humain.

Job Description

Reporting to the Systems Engineering Lead, the Systems Engineer – Robotics Safety & Functional Safety will play a key role in the definition and analysis of Wandercraft’s robotic systems, including industrial humanoid robots and medical exoskeletons.

This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, safety engineering and regulatory compliance, and requires strong collaboration with multidisciplinary teams across the company (mechanics, electronics, embedded software, control, AI, clinical and regulatory teams).

The objective of the role is to ensure that Wandercraft robotic systems are designed, analyzed and validated according to the highest standards of safety, functional safety and regulatory compliance, while enabling rapid innovation in humanoid robotics.

Safety architecture and functional safety engineering

  • Define system-level safety architectures and safety-critical functions

  • Derive technical safety requirements from hazard analyses

  • Contribute to the design and evaluation of functional safety mechanisms within the robotic system

Functional safety assessment

  • Evaluate the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and/or Performance Level (PL) required and achieved by system functions

  • Work closely with subsystem teams (electronics, mechanics, embedded software, control) to ensure safety requirements are correctly implemented

  • Ensure alignment with applicable safety standards

Systems engineering for advanced robotic systems

  • Contribute to the system engineering activities for Wandercraft robotic platforms, including humanoid robots and medical exoskeletons

  • Support system architecture definition and ensure consistency across hardware and software subsystems

  • Maintain system-level technical coherence across multidisciplinary engineering teams

Requirements engineering and MBSE

  • Define, structure and manage system requirements throughout the product lifecycle

  • Ensure traceability between system requirements, subsystem specifications and verification activities

  • Contribute to the deployment of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and tools

  • Support system modeling and documentation to improve communication and design robustness

Verification & Validation strategy

  • Co-define the system Verification & Validation strategy for Wandercraft robotic products

  • Ensure traceability between requirements, tests and validation evidence

  • Coordinate system-level validation activities with subsystem teams

Regulatory compliance and risk management

  • Evaluate product compliance with applicable machinery safety regulations and functional safety standards

  • Contribute to Wandercraft’s compliance with the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and emerging regulatory frameworks applicable to advanced robotics

  • Perform and maintain product-level risk analyses (FMEA / FMECA)

  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of safety engineering processes within the company

Preferred Experience

Diploma

  • Master’s degree in Systems Engineering or in a technical field of Robotics (Mechanics / electronics / software development / control)

  • A certification equivalent to Certified Machinery Safety Expert (CMSE) is a strong plus

Required experience

  • 3–5 years of experience in systems engineering or safety engineering for complex systems combining hardware and software

  • Experience in highly regulated industries is particularly valued (such as automotive, railway, aerospace, industrial machinery)

  • Professional knowledge of the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).

  • Practical experience applying functional safety standards, especially: ISO 12100, IEC 62061, ISO 13849

  • Experience or strong interest in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches.

Skills

  • Systems engineering for complex mechatronic systems - Autonomous Level

  • Requirements engineering and traceability - Autonomous Level

  • Functional safety engineering - Autonomous Level

  • Risk analysis (FMEA / FMECA) - Autonomous Level

  • Cross-disciplinary technical collaboration - Autonomous Level

  • Machinery safety standards (ISO 12100, IEC 62061, ISO 13849) - Basic knowledge

  • Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) - Basic knowledge

  • English - professional level (C1 minimum)
