About this role
Role Overview
Velaura is designing the compute silicon that powers robots, autonomous systems, and intelligent machines that operate in the physical world—where a fault in the chip can translate directly into unsafe behavior. As the Functional Safety Architect for our Physical AI System-on-Chip (SoC), you will own the functional safety architecture of our silicon: defining how our chips detect, contain, and respond to faults so that the systems they drive remain safe.
This is a foundational, cross-cutting role spanning silicon, firmware, platform software, and product teams. You will establish Velaura’s functional safety strategy and lifecycle from the earliest architecture phase through tape-out, qualification, and production, making the case, in hardware and in evidence, that Velaura silicon can be trusted in safety-critical Physical AI applications.
