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

  • 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.
 
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 6 years (BS) or 4 years (MS) in functional safety
  • Hands-on ISO 26262 Part 5 hardware safety analysis
  • FTA, FMEDA, DFA — component to system level
  • FIT rate computation: IEC TR 62380, SN 29500, MIL-HDBK-217
  • Ansys Medini Analyze and/or Isograph Reliability Workbench
  • Custom mission profile definition and application
  • ASIL decomposition, safety mechanisms, diagnostic coverage
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • ISO 26262 FSE Certification (TÜV Rheinland / TÜV SÜD)
  • ASIL-C/D HW dev: HV BMS, Inverter, or OBC systems
  • Familiarity with SOTIF (ISO 21448) integration
  • Circuit simulation: LTSpice or equivalent
  • IEC 61508, IEC 62443 (cybersecurity-safety overlap)
  • Requirements tools: JAMA Connect, IBM DOORS, Polarion
  • Experience with STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis)
  • Power electronics failure mode analysis background
