Drives system-level safety architecture, requirements, analyses, and validation for autonomous-vehicle hardware and firmware. Requires automotive functional-safety experience, safety-critical system architecture, fault management, and proficiency reading C and writing Python or MATLAB.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Drive system-level safety architecture and requirements for autonomy hardware and firmware, ensuring compliance with ISO 26262 and ISO 21448.
- Decompose vehicle-level Safety Goals into Functional Safety Concepts (FSCs) and Technical Safety Concepts (TSCs), defining safety mechanisms, fault detection and reaction strategies, and safe states.
- Develop system-level SOTIF specifications, including performance targets and acceptance criteria for autonomy sensors and compute systems.
- Lead and review safety analyses, including Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA).
- Collaborate with controls, embedded software, hardware teams, and external partners on requirements and test plans.
- Support verification and validation by reviewing tests and implementing test cases in SIL/HIL environments.
- Analyze simulation, SIL/HIL, and on-road test data to validate safety mechanisms and identify residual risks.
- Maintain platform-system sections of the Safety Case using Goal Structuring Notation (GSN), with emphasis on residual-risk assessment and clear argumentation.
Requirements
- Hands-on systems engineering and automotive functional safety experience, including requirements generation.
- 3+ years of experience in system architecture for safety-critical systems.
- 3+ years of experience with fault-management or diagnostic systems for automotive applications.
- Ability to read C code and write Python or MATLAB code.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Nice-to-haves
- Autonomous vehicle or advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) experience.
- Familiarity with STPA and ISO 21448.
- Experience developing and articulating a Safety Case based on UL 4600.
- Experience with HIL testing or on-road testing.
Compensation
- Base pay range: $132,300–$291,150.
- Eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and benefits.
