Job Description

Must have good technical skills

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a technically deep Functional Safety Engineer to own hardware-level safety analysis across EV electronics platforms. You will serve as the safety authority applying

ISO 26262

Part 5 requirements to high-voltage powertrain, battery management, and chassis control systems•partnering with hardware, firmware, and systems teams to embed safety into design from day one.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES FMEDA

Lead and execute FMEDA for electronic hardware elements•ASICs, SoCs, PMICs, microcontrollers, power electronics•evaluating SPFM, LFM, and PMHF against

ASIL-B/C/D

targets.

Fault Tree Analysis:

Perform quantitative FTA at hardware and system levels; compute minimal cut sets and top-event probabilities vs. safety goals.

Dependent Failure Analysis:

Conduct DFA to identify and mitigate common-cause and cascading failures; ensure freedom-from-interference across safety-critical subsystems.

Mission Profiles & FIT Rates:

Define and apply custom mission profiles for California EV operating conditions; accurately compute component FIT rates using

IEC TR 62380, SN

29500, or

MIL-HDBK-217.

Tool Expertise:

Execute safety analyses in Ansys Medini Analyze and Isograph Reliability Workbench; maintain reusable component libraries and diagnostic coverage templates.

Safety Architecture:

Develop hardware safety concepts, requirements, and architecture for electronics subsystems; drive upstream/downstream traceability in JAMA or DOORS. 
