  • Derive Technical Safety Requirements related to the Battery Pack from the functional safety concept.
  • Compose System Architecture specifications (both natural language and semi-formal notations) including static and dynamic architecture diagrams with standardized methodologies according to the ISO 26262 standard.
  • Lead functional safety activities during the product development life cycle, including concept, requirements gathering, design, risk analysis, verification/validation, and release, working with a broad set of design engineers, program managers, and test engineers.
  • Perform FMEA, fault tree, HARA, and other risk assessment processes for new and existing products at the systems level.
  • Write/own documentation packages for functional safety certification reviews.
  • Teach core functional safety concepts in the systems design to our engineering and certification teams.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience performing functional safety design for automotive embedded systems and 5+ years of experience in systems engineering roles (3 with Masters).
  • Professional experience developing compliant products to functional safety standards like ISO 26262, IEC 61508, UL/IEC 60730 or similar.
  • Deep understanding of the standard ISO 26262:2018 Part 4 - Product Development at the System Level, and its underlying rationale.
  • Expert ability to come up with System Design specification including semi-formal notations using SysML, UML or other system modeling languages.
  • Written communication skills to write requirements at the system level using industry best practice methods using tools like IBM DNG, Jama, or Polarion, etc.
  • Experience in composing system architecture using State Machines, Data Flow Diagrams, Block Diagrams, Context Diagram, and other methods.
  • Ability to derive, analyze and assess different failure modes and their respective hazards including qualitative and quantitative analysis methods like System DFMEA, FTA, DFA, and others.
  • Hands-on Experience in any Systems Architecture modeling tools like Medini analyze, System composer, Enterprise Architect, Cameo Magic, IBM Rhapsody etc.
Preferred Skills
  • Specific experience with distributed energy, power electronics, and/or lithium-ion battery design and/or safety evaluations.
  • Professional experience with risk mitigation strategies including static/runtime analysis, stress testing, coding guidelines (such as MISRA, HIS Metrics), software-in-the-loop testing and hardware-in-the-loop testing, etc.
  • Experience working with Battery Systems that are (or targeted) ASIL-D certification for ISO26262.
  • Knowledge of AUTOSAR architecture.
  • Experience designing Model-based systems design (MBSE) for safety-critical systems using any modeling tools like Cameo, MATLAB/Simulink or Ansys SCADE.
  • Working with MEDINI Analyze to assess Safety Goals, Quantitative and Qualitative FTA, Diagnostic Coverage, FIT rates, etc.
