We are looking for an ADAS Functional Safety Engineer with strong automotive and software expertise. This engineer will create and manage the functional safety requirements for the software and hardware of a new Applied Intuition product. This engineer will play a critical role in shaping the technical direction of this new project with strategic importance to Applied Intuition.

  • Execute left side of the V-model activities for ADAS features (Levels 0-2+) in compliance with ISO 26262, covering stages from item definition to safety validation
  • Define and maintain Functional Safety Concepts (FSC) and Technical Safety Concepts (TSC) for ADAS functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), and Lane Centering (LC)
  • Conduct Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) and contribute to ASIL decomposition strategies
  • Develop and manage Functional Safety Requirements (FSRs) and Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) across functional and system levels
  • Contribute to system architecture and functional modeling to ensure robust fault detection, mitigation, and safe-state transitions
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (systems, software, hardware, validation, vehicle integration) to ensure safety goals and technical requirements are met
  • Perform DFMEA, FTA, and other safety analyses to identify risks, failure modes, and corresponding safety mechanisms
  • Author and maintain system-level and vehicle-level test cases for verification and validation in both HIL and on-vehicle environments
  • Use simulation or analytical methods to determine Fault Tolerant Time Intervals (FTTI) for safety-critical components
  • Define measurable feature-level KPIs to evaluate the effectiveness of implemented safety concepts and mechanisms
  • Develop and maintain Development Interface Agreements (DIAs) with suppliers; cascade FSRs/TSRs to sensor and component vendors, ensuring alignment on safety responsibilities
  • Support safety case development and participate in internal safety and design reviews
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline
  • 4-6 years of experience in functional safety or systems engineering, preferably within an OEM or Tier-1 ADAS program
  • Hands-on experience with ISO 26262 (Parts 3, 4, 6) and familiarity with related standards such as SOTIF (ISO/PAS 21448)
  • Proficient in safety analysis techniques: HARA, FTA, FMEA
  • Proficient with Vector tools (CANape, CANoe, CANalyzer) for testing, debugging, and CAPL scripting
  • Understanding of ASPICE, UN ECE regulations, Euro NCAP protocols, and SAE standards
  • Experience with automotive sensors (camera, radar) and ECUs
  • Working knowledge of system modeling (e.g., SysML using CAMEO) and requirements management tools (Jama, Polarion, DOORS)
  • Working knowledge of CAN DBCs and Ethernet ARXMLs
  • Strong communication skills to present safety decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Ability to work independently in fast-paced, cross-disciplinary environments
  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage
  • 401k retirement benefits with employer match
  • Learning and wellness stipends
  • Paid time off
