Job Summary
In this role, you will develop safety-critical software architectures for autonomous vehicle platforms, implement ASIL-D compliant microcontrollers, and conduct system evaluations in accordance with ISO 26262.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- We are seeking a highly skilled Safety-Critical Systems Engineer to join our advanced mobility team focused on developing a next-generation driverless vehicle platform.
- This role is central to building a safe, robust, and certifiable control system that ensures fail-operational behavior and safe fallback strategies in case of system failures.
- You will be responsible for the architecture, development, and validation of safety microcontroller (MCU) subsystems and critical control interfaces, ensuring compliance with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262.
- Design and implement safety-critical subsystems based on ASIL-D compliant MCUs to monitor and control the vehicle in case of primary system failure (e.g., main compute failure).
- Collaborate with hardware, software, and systems teams to define safe architecture for driverless operation, including emergency braking and failover mechanisms.
- Develop and validate system safety concepts, technical safety requirements, and software safety mechanisms in accordance with ISO 26262.
- Integrate and validate safety MCUs with vehicle CAN and sensor networks, ensuring seamless interaction with power steering, braking, and ADAS subsystems.
- Perform FMEA, FMEDA, and safety analysis to support functional safety case documentation.
- Interface with suppliers of power steering ECUs, brake systems, and ADAS sensors to ensure compatibility with safety goals.
- Develop testing procedures and HIL setups to verify and validate system-level safety performance.
