Safety, Diagnostics and OBD Engineer
About The Position
The Safety, Diagnostics and OBD Engineer develops and implements diagnostic requirements for propulsion system components, including engines, transmissions, hybrid powertrains, and electrified powertrains, ensuring compliance with CARB regulations. The role develops functional and technical safety concepts and architectures from requirements received from the Propulsion System SDO team, and supports implementation across propulsion system components such as ECM, TCM, hybrid, and electrified controllers. The engineer supports AfterSales with creating and reviewing Diagnostic Synthesis Tables (DSTs) and Technical Specification Documents (TSDs) for MAKE/BUY components. Responsibilities also include reviewing supplier-proposed diagnostics, DTC and MiL proposals, and AECD inputs; coordinating with the OBD Applicative team; creating design change requests; maintaining traceability from diagnostics to source requirements; and supporting certification documents and CARB approval activities. For functional safety, the engineer implements requirements received 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 also supports diagnostic strategy development to meet ASIL levels and diagnostic robustness, participates in verification reviews, evaluates 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 J1979, SAE J2012, and SAE J1968 standards.
- Experience with CAN communication protocols and tools such as CANalyzer.
- Experience with calibration tools such as INCA and MDA.
- Experience in HiL validation.
- Knowledge of UDS requirements.
- Familiarity with Agile methodology.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in propulsion system development.
- Master of Science in Applied Physics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or a related engineering field from an ABET-accredited university.
- Experience with communication networks such as CAN, LIN, and FlexRay.
- Experience using functional safety tools such as Ansys Medini Analyze.
Responsibilities

- Support AfterSales in creating and reviewing Diagnostic Synthesis Tables (DSTs) and Technical Specification Documents (TSDs) for MAKE/BUY components.
- Review supplier-proposed diagnostics for BUY components against the OBD checklist defined by the OBD Applicative team.
- Review DTC and MiL proposals, discuss them with the OBD Applicative team, and support approval of compliant diagnostic strategies.
- Create design change requests for new diagnostic strategies and improvements to existing strategies.
- Support AECD input reviews for diagnostic compliance and provide information for regulatory board meetings to obtain CARB approvals.
- Ensure traceability of diagnostics to source requirements and support creation and review of certification documents.
- Implement functional and technical safety requirements received from the Powertrain SDO team.
- Review component fault tree analyses (FTA) and create or review Technical Safety Concepts (TSC) for MAKE/BUY components.
