Sr. Functional Safety Engineers
About The Position
The Sr. Functional Safety Engineer performs functional safety analysis of internally designed application and/or platform software and contributes to creating software safety requirements and developing safe software architecture. The role works closely with vehicle and hardware functional safety teams, software development, testing, and systems teams to deliver safety software across multiple programs and variants. The engineer derives software and technical safety requirements, supports their implementation, conducts software safety analyses, and leads safety architecture development. The work includes ASIL decomposition, freedom-from-interference and dependent-failure analyses, deriving software safety measures, preparing fault-injection test cases for SIL and HIL testing, supporting hardware-software interface content, and helping define coding guidelines and qualify software tools. The role also develops verification and validation methods and documents safety requirements, analyses, architecture implementation, and verification and validation activities for RVT ECUs.

- Experience with embedded systems.
- Experience working with Body controller safety applications.
- Experience with requirements derivation and traceability.
- Experience with system architecture and design.
- Experience with failure mode analysis.
- Experience creating test specifications for HIL/SIL testing (V&V).
- Experience working on NXP and/or Infineon automotive safety processors.
- Experience utilizing an agile software development process.
- Experience using the JAMA and DOORS requirements management tools.
- Experience utilizing Jira and Bugzilla issue-tracking tools.
Responsibilities
- Perform functional safety analysis of internally designed application software and/or platform software.
- Contribute to creating software safety requirements and developing safe software architecture using safety analysis methods.

- Derive software safety requirements for application software and/or platform software.
- Contribute to creating technical safety requirements.
- Support implementation of software safety requirements at the application software and/or platform software layer.
- Support or derive safety analysis using SW-FTA and SW-FMEA.
- Lead development of safety software architecture, including ASIL decomposition, freedom-from-interference analysis, and dependent-failure analysis.
- Derive safety measures, such as plausibility checks and memory protection, in application software and/or platform software.
- Write fault-injection test cases to support SIL and HIL testing.
- Support hardware-software interface content between software and internally or externally developed hardware.
- Support defining programming and coding guidelines for software development teams.
- Support tool classification and qualification across the company’s software toolsets.
- Develop verification and validation methods for testing software safety mechanisms.
- Document software safety requirements, analysis, architecture implementation, and verification and validation events for application software and/or platform software for RVT ECUs.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary.
- Eligibility for an annual company performance bonus program for full-time positions; payments are discretionary and not guaranteed.
- Eligibility for equity in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), subject to board approval and applicable plan terms and vesting requirements.
