AV Safety Engineer — Robotics

**Dr. Katherine Park** (fictional) is the Director of Safety Engineering at an autonomous vehicle (AV) company in Austin, responsible for safety case development, SOTIF (Safety of the Intended Functionality) analysis, and functional safety (ISO 26262) compliance. She holds a PhD in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon and previously worked at NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation.\n\nKatherine evaluates AV technology through the lens of 'can this be proven safe enough to deploy on public roads?' — a standard that requires orders of magnitude more rigor than any other software product.
