Sr. Functional Safety Engineer

About the role

Join a high‑performing team developing electric‑vehicle technology through innovative zonal architecture. As a Senior Functional Safety Engineer you will design and implement safety‑critical hardware for ECUs, ensuring robust, fail‑safe systems that meet industry standards.

Key responsibilities

• Define and implement technical safety requirements at the hardware level.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and hardware design engineers to integrate safety requirements.
• Apply functional safety analysis methods such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Failure Mode Effects & Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) to support hardware architecture.
• Derive safety concepts, FMEDA, FTA, DFA and PMHF metrics to satisfy ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 standards.
• Support the Reliability organization by calculating FIT rates for components.
• Develop verification and validation methods, write test procedures, and assist in testing hardware subsystems.
• Document safety requirements, analyses, architecture decisions, and verification results for each subsystem.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 3‑5+ years of experience in functional safety design for automotive, industrial, or aerospace applications.
• Hands‑on experience with ISO 26262:2018 Part 5 & Part 11 or IEC 61508 Parts 1‑3.
• Proven ability to work in cross‑functional teams (hardware, software, mechanical, manufacturing).
• Track record of delivering multiple safety‑critical projects.

Required skills

• Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
• Failure Mode Effects & Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA)
• Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA)
• Probability Metric for Hardware Failure (PMHF)
• ISO 26262 functional safety standards
• IEC 61508 functional safety standards
• Advanced electronics design and electrical circuit analysis
• Hardware safety requirement specification
