The Functional Safety Engineer will, amongst other duties as required:
- Perform safety activities according to ISO26262, part 3, 4 and 5.
- Ensure compliance with relevant safety standards and regulations, such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508
- Perform hazard and risk analysis, such as Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), to identify potential failure modes and their consequences.
- Develop and document the overall functional safety concept and derive Functional Safety Requirements (FSR).
- Define and document safety requirements for systems, subsystems, and components. This includes safety goals, safety functions, and performance metrics.
- Plan and execute safety validation activities, such as fault injection tests, to demonstrate that the system or product meets the safety requirements.
- Maintain comprehensive safety documentation, including safety manuals, case reports, and safety assessment reports.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including system engineers, software developers, hardware engineers, and testing teams, to ensure that safety considerations are integrated into all aspects of the project.
- Manage and assess changes to the system or product to ensure that safety is not compromised during the development process.
- Follow the organisational processes.
- Formal qualifications, ideally at master’s level in computer science.
- 3+ years of experience working with the safety of autonomous vehicles and functions.
- At least two years of experience with functional safety activities, including SW-related safety activities as per ISO 26262 or IEC 61508
- Demonstrated experience in Functional Safety Activities, including Item Definition, HARA, HAZOP, Safety Goals, Safety Analysis-FTA, FSR, FMEA and DFA.
- Comprehensive experience with Python.
- Experience with automating the functional safety activities like HARA as per ISO 26262
- Skilled in architecture tools such as IBM Rhapsody, Enterprise Architect tools.
- Familiarity with safety-related tools and software, such as fault tree and FMEA software tools.
