Safety, Diagnostics and OBD Engineer
About The Position
The Safety, Diagnostics and OBD (SDO) Engineer develops and implements diagnostic requirements for propulsion system components, including engines, transmissions, and electrified and hybrid powertrains, and ensures compliance with CARB regulations. The role also develops Functional and Technical Safety concepts and architectures from high-level requirements provided by the Propulsion System SDO team, supports their implementation across propulsion components, and provides diagnostic and safety inputs to AfterSales teams for Diagnostic Synthesis Tables (DST) and Technical Specification Documents (TSD) for MAKE/BUY components. The engineer reviews supplier-proposed diagnostics for BUY components against the OBD Applicative team's checklist; reviews DTC and MiL proposals; collaborates with the OBD Applicative team on approvals; and develops compliant diagnostic strategies. Responsibilities also include creating design change requests for new or improved diagnostic strategies, supporting AECD input reviews and regulatory board meetings for CARB approvals, maintaining traceability from diagnostics to source requirements, and supporting certification documentation. For functional safety, the engineer implements requirements from the Powertrain SDO team, reviews component fault tree analyses, creates or reviews Technical Safety Concepts for MAKE/BUY components, and supports component-level safety assessments. The role supports diagnostic strategies that meet required ASIL levels and diagnostic robustness; participates in verification reviews; reviews supplier safety concepts and test reports; and approves TSRs and safety results.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Good understanding of DTC proposal requirements, MiL and other warning lamp requirements, and AECD requirements.
- Experience in Functional Safety development and knowledge of ISO 26262.
- Experience reviewing HARA, creating FSC and TSC, and working with ASIL requirements and decomposition.
- Experience with FMEA, FMEDA, and FTA.
- Knowledge of SAE standards such as SAE J1979, SAE J2012, and SAE J1968.
