• Functional Safety hardware (ISO 26262)
• HV safety design
• DOORS
• Silicon Expert, MathCAD and risk assessment tools
• AIS 038, AIS 156, AIS 138

5. Roles and Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end BMS hardware development from concept to SOP; define architecture and functional allocation; mentor engineers; set design standards and review processes.
• Lead HV and LV BMS hardware design; define hardware requirements from system and customer specifications.
• Lead analog and mixed-signal design for cell voltage sensing, current sensing, temperature monitoring, isolation monitoring and power supplies.
• Select components with WCCA; drive schematics, design calculations, simulation and design reviews; support PCB layout reviews and manufacturability.
• Define EBOM, interface documents and design documentation; lead board bring-up, debugging and root cause work; support VAVE.
• Ensure ISO 26262 hardware compliance; take part in DFMEA, FMEDA, FTA and reliability assessments; ensure robustness through derating and WCCA.
• Lead board, subsystem and vehicle-level validation; drive EMI/EMC/ESD qualification; define verification and validation plans; support environmental, thermal, vibration and HV testing.
• Analyze field failures and implement corrective actions.
• Coordinate with System Engineering, Software, Testing, Manufacturing and Vehicle Integration; work with customers, PCB vendors and component suppliers; lead technical reviews.
