Join us as a System Safety Engineer (all genders) to strengthen our Safety Operations team for autonomous vehicle programs.

At MOIA, we are shaping the future of autonomous mobility. As we move towards driverless SAE Level 4 operations in public traffic, safety becomes even more deeply embedded in the way we design, operate, and continuously improve our services.

With the safety driver no longer part of the operational setup, risks increasingly emerge from the interaction of complex systems: the autonomous driving stack, remote operations, hub infrastructure, service processes, and the people working with them.

As a System Safety Engineer, you will help build the safety organization for driverless autonomous vehicle operations. You will look at the full socio-technical system end to end, model its dependencies, identify operational risks, and support well-founded safety decisions using methods such as FTA, FMEA, STPA, and Bow-Tie analysis.

What you will do

• Model the overall operational system — including vehicle, remote center, hub management, service, and development — as a system of systems, with a strong focus on risks at interfaces.
• Conduct systematic hazard identification and risk analysis at system level, using methods such as FTA, FMEA, STPA, HAZOP, and Bow-Tie.
• Review and assess safety evidence and argumentation structures, including safety cases, safety concepts, and HARA, as part of vehicle acceptance into fleet operations.
• Evaluate the safety impact of software releases and new operational configurations.
• Maintain the operational Risk Dossier, prepare Safety Risk Acceptability decisions, and track mitigations through to closure.

What will help you to fulfill your role 

Must-haves:

• Experience in safety-critical environments, such as functional safety, system safety, or operational safety in complex, software-driven systems, including autonomous vehicles, robotics, aviation, rail, or similar domains.
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to model interdisciplinary systems of systems and analyze their interactions.
• Hands-on experience with system-level safety analysis methods such as FTA, FMEA, STPA, HAZOP, or Bow-Tie — beyond component-level analysis.
• A structured, process-oriented mindset and strong attention to detail.
• The ability to balance safety, operational continuity, and regulatory expectations.
• A high sense of responsibility, integrity, and ownership for safety.
• Fluent English and good German skills, both spoken and written.

Nice-to-have

• Understanding of Level 4 autonomous driving architectures, operational design domains, and human-machine interaction in operational contexts.
• Experience in operational safety, incident response, or fleet operations within a regulated environment.
• Experience supporting regulatory assessments, audits, or safety approvals.
• The ability to synthesize complex technical information into coherent safety arguments for both technical and non-technical audiences.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds — even if you don’t meet every requirement. If you’re excited about the role and MOIA’s mission, we’d love to hear from you!

Are you an ambitious graduate ready to tackle complex, real-world challenges at the intersection of data, strategy and tech? 

The Future Leaders Graduate Program – Business Analytics at Picnic is a two-year launchpad for exceptional talents. From day one, you join a business team, own a business topic, and become an expert in your field.

At Picnic, we’re building the future of grocery. Using cutting-edge technology and data-driven innovation, we challenge the status quo and build the world’s smartest, most customer-focused supermarket.
We move fast, think big, and turn bold ideas into tangible impact.

Tricks of the trade

• Lead with ambition: Bring your relentless determination, creativity, and grit. Take the driver’s seat and redefine the grocery shopping experience for millions. You will be expected to think independently, move fast, and deliver results.
• Steep learning curve: Your growth comes from owning real problems, testing your ideas, learning from your mistakes and starting again. You'll blend hands-on training with immediate execution, you’ll move at a pace that accelerates your growth like nowhere else.
• Solve real-life puzzles: Spot opportunities, use tools at the forefront of technology, and own the outcome end to end. Not just making slides, but building the solution yourself.
• Innovate across borders: You’ll collaborate with teams across the Netherlands, Germany, and France, tackling challenges that redefine how Picnic operates at a European scale.
• High-performance environment: You’ll work alongside some of the best teams in analytics and tech, people who set a high bar and expect you to do the same.

From learning to leading

In your first six months, you’ll own a business-critical project from start to finish - supported by mentorship, learning sessions, and regular feedback.
You’ll strengthen your leadership abilities like project management, storytelling, stakeholder communication, giving & receiving feedback, while sharpening your skills in Python, SQL, Excel and PowerPoint.

As your scope grows, so does your responsibility. You might scale your initial project or take on new challenges in the same domain. Either way, the pace is yours to set. 

Where you’ll make an impact

From day one, you’ll be embedded in a business team, taking ownership in one of the following domains:

• Consumer - Drive growth through pricing, supplier strategy, and our market strategy. Think: Shaping our successful market entry into new cities. Your decisions shape how millions of customers experience Picnic.
• Tech - Work at the intersection of product and infrastructure, building scalable systems that power our operations. Think: building software and algorithms our FCAs run on or launch new features in our app used by millions.   
• Logistics - Build the backbone of Picnic: robotic fulfilment, demand forecasting, route optimization across Europe and much more

Your superpowers

You don't wait for permission. You see a problem, build the solution, and bring people with you, before anyone asks. You've probably already started something: a project, a product, a business, an initiative that didn't exist until you made it happen.

More specifically, you:

• Are about to graduate (or recently graduated) a Masters in a quantitative field: e.g., mathematics, econometrics, engineering, or similar
• Have experience in high-performance environments: consulting, fast-growth startups, or competitive internships and know what it means to raise the bar.
• Show an entrepreneurial mindset: you build, improve, and take ownership without being asked
• Think like a builder: hands-on, curious, and driven to challenge the status quo with practical solutions
• You have already gained basic knowledge in PowerPoint, Python, SQL, Excel or alternative coding languages 
• EU citizenship or valid EU working permit required.

Many strong candidates (particularly women) talk themselves out of applying because they don't tick every box. If this excites you and you believe you have what it takes, apply. We only hire when we find the right match. That’s why our selection process is intentionally highly selective.

 Why Picnic?

• Grow as we grow. We’re scaling quickly across countries and millions of customers and this is just the start. Grow your impact as we grow; we invest in your path but the driver's seat is always yours.
• Work with other innovators. Work with a driven, energetic team that builds, wins, and celebrates together (think of legendary Friday drinks, our Ski trip and our parties)

FAQ

Do I need a quantitative background? It's a strong advantage, but not a hard requirement. If your internships and projects demonstrate real hands-on ownership and data-driven thinking, we'll consider your application. You do need a Master's degree, basic knowledge of Python or SQL, and relevant work experience.

Does the program include rotations? No, intentionally. We believe depth creates ownership, and ownership creates impact. Rather than rotating across teams, you’ll go deep in one area, build real expertise, and gradually expand your scope as your impact grows. If you have topic preferences, tell us during the process.

In what language should I apply? English. Please include your CV and Master's degree transcript or any other relevant test scores (e.g., GMAT)

What are the long-term opportunities after the program? This program is a fast track into a high-impact career at Picnic, it’s an entry point for a long-term future, not a two-year stopover. 

Career paths here are as varied as the people on them. Some grow vertically, building deep expertise and a team around them as their project expands. Others move laterally - from Commercial to Fulfilment, Distribution to Customer, or wherever their strengths and ambitions take them. What they share is real ownership, real impact, and a career they shaped themselves.

• Performing minor repairs directly on the street to increase the availability of our fleet.
• Assisting the Operations team in the warehouse whenever it’s needed. 

• You hold an EU B driving license and know how to operate cars with a manual transmission. 
• You're a skilled and trustworthy driver who knows the local area well and always ensures a safe and secure journey whenever hitting the road. Having previous experience working as a professional driver can be advantageous.
• Your proactive approach and willingness to take ownership of challenges are reflected in your hands-on work.
• You have solid local language skills and experience using smartphones and mechanical tools.
• Having English skills is an advantage.

Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying!

• Play a direct role in shaping the future of mobility.
• Work in fast-moving teams with some of the smartest people in the world
• Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities.
• Take advantage of Bolt credits to ride our scooter and use our ride-hailing services for free.
