Sr. Functional Safety Project Engineer

A Functional Safety Integration Engineer manages and coordinates safety-critical development across hardware, software, and systems. They ensure complex systems within electric vehicles - power electronics components, software and controls—comply with safety standards like ISO 26262 or IEC 61508 by bridging safety requirements with actual project execution.

• Ensure vehicle level safety goals, integrity ASIL levels, Hazard Analysis Risk Assessment, Functional and Technical Safety Requirements are available timely to unblock product level safety analysis and requirements development.

• Develop detailed hardware and software functional-safety product level safety plans with targets and deliverables, integration, communicating cross-functional dependencies and risks.

• Act as the primary bridge between functional safety leads, system, software developers, hardware designers and external vendors, suppliers for respective communication and taking product development forward.

• Plan, track, document and summarize hardware and software safety test cases, DVPs and necessary co-ordination with functional safety leads, hardware and software designers, Test Engineers, Technical Program Management to bridge execution ensuring timely completeness.

• Co-ordinate quantitative and qualitative Hardware/Software failure analysis (FMEA, FMEDA, systems DFMEA, FTA) impacting safety (hardware and software) and ensure timely completeness and verification milestones.

• Co-ordinate resultant safety requirements and technical design discussions while ensuring the cross-functional alignment and timely integration.

• Maintain and develop the safety case across projects, compliance traceability matrices, and audit records throughout the product lifecycle.

• Develop, refine and maintain hardware and software FuSa engineering workflows processes across each work-product and impacting cross-functional engineering elements.

• Develop strategies and deploy consistent approaches of traceability between high-level FuSa workflows/work-products with product level systems, hardware, reliability and software safety engineering work-products.

• Verification & Validation (V&V): Planning of integration-level safety test cases and execution by hardware or software teams on respective setups.

• Leverage AI in ways of accelerating the overall engineering and process development while ensuring consistency where necessary using tools such as (claude, cursor, glean, gemini, embedded AI tools etc.)

• Co-ordinate Hardware, Software quality and regulatory advancements where necessary.

• Bachelor’s, master’s degree or PhD in Electrical, Embedded Systems or Software Engineering

• Experience working with Power Electronics Systems, Embedded systems, VLSI, Electrical design Embedded Software and Controls algorithm domains.

• Knowledge and Experience with FuSa Engineering in overall ISO 26262

• Knowledge of communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, LIN, SENT, Flex ray

• Experience with requirements management tools (e.g. JAMA, Doors, etc.), issue tracking tools (Jira, Bugzilla, etc.), SW version control tools (e.g. Git, Bitbucket, SVN, etc.)

• Experience with C programming and/or model-based design using Simulink preferred

• Exposure with Texas Instruments, Infineon automotive safety processors is a plus

• High level Knowledge of software safety analysis, workflows effecting software FTA, FMEA, FFI, DFA, cascading and common cause analysis.

• High level Knowledge of hardware safety analysis, workflows impacting hardware FMEA, FTA, FMEDA, DFA.

• Ability to understand and create end-to-end traceability within necessary requirements (flow, JAMA, Lucid, Draw I/O), analysis (medini, sheets, confluence) and tracking tools (JIRA)

• Experience with communication tools such as Wireshark, CANalyzer or CANape - Experience with requirements management tools (Jama), issue tracking tools (Jira), flow, SW version control tools (git)

• Working within cross-functional teams - systems hardware, software, reliability, mechanical, manufacturing, and a proven record of working on multiple projects involving FuSa engineering.

• Ability to work with resilience, zooming out and with out of the box, lean and agile thinking.

• Strong team player with a drive to exceed expectations and meet deadlines.

• Experience working within a cross-functional team

• ISO 26262 Certified
