JOB DESCRIPTION

Responsibilities:

• Perform Functional Safety Analysis for Conventional and Electrified Powertrain systems and Vehicle Protection features.
• Define Item Definition including system functions architecture and interactions with interfacing systems.
• Develop and maintain system models using Medini Analyze and Simulink.
• Conduct HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Analysis) to identify system malfunctions.
• Perform Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) to determine ASIL ratings Safety Goals and Safe States.
• Identify and evaluate risks associated with system failures under various operating conditions.
• Derive Functional Safety Requirements (FSRs) and allocate them to appropriate system modules.
• Develop Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) in alignment with architecture-independent design principles and the 3-level eGAS concept.
• Allocate safety requirements to hardware and software components.
• Perform and review system-level safety analyses:
• Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
• FMEDA (Failure Modes Effects and Diagnostic Analysis)
• DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
• Common Cause Analysis (CCA)
• Evaluation of safety channels and safety mechanisms
• Conduct fault injection testing to determine Fault Tolerant Time Interval (FTTI).
• Perform impact analysis for carry-over systems with updated or refined features.
• Plan and execute system-level and vehicle-level integration and validation testing.
• Verify and validate test cases and test results across component system and vehicle levels.
• Perform simulation-based validation of safety concepts and fault scenarios.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and interfacing system owners to ensure alignment on safety requirements.
• Ensure proper communication protocols and integration across system architectures.
• Maintain end-to-end traceability of safety requirements across all V-model work products.
• Develop and manage Safety Case documentation ensuring evidence of compliance and completeness.
• Ensure adherence to ISO 26262 functional safety standards throughout the lifecycle.

Requirements:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Electronics Automotive or related engineering field.
• 6 years of experience in powertrain functional safety automotive electronics.
• Strong understanding of ISO 26262 functional safety standard.
• Hands-on experience with tools such as Medini Analyze MATLAB/Simulink.
