Principal System & AI Safety Engineer

*Help reinvent how the world assures autonomous and AI-enabled systems.*

About Edge Case

At Edge Case, our mission is to enable the safe deployment of frontier technologies and sophisticated systems.

Edge Case exists to solve one of technology's most consequential problems: deploying autonomous, AI-enabled,and complex systems without compromising safety.

Our team includes recognized leaders in autonomous-system safety. Across defense, aerospace, automotive,energy, and other high-consequence industries, we help organizations move frontier technologies from promising prototypes to trusted real-world systems.

Guardian AI is our AI-assisted safety intelligence platform. It combines modern software with expert judgment to help teams identify hazards earlier, develop stronger safety arguments, and maintain decision-ready safety evidence.

The Opportunity

This is not a conventional compliance role.

We are looking for a system safety thought leader and entrepreneurial builder who wants to solve problems that no single engagement or engineering team could address alone.

You will apply Guardian AI to complex customer programs, identify repeatable problems, invent better methods, and work directly with our product team to turn expert knowledge into scalable capabilities. You will help define the emerging discipline of AI-assisted safety engineering while influencing the product, company, and broader field.

This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical credibility with entrepreneurial energy: someone who sees an unsolved problem and wants to build the method, workflow, and product that solves it.

What You'll Own

Solve high-consequence safety problems

* Lead system safety work for autonomous and complex systems. Help customers reason through novel hazards, operational uncertainty, and increasingly software- and AI-driven behavior.
