Job Description:

As Hardware Functional Safety Engineer working in the Electric Power Conversion group, you will be responsible for performing functional safety development of internally designed power electronics components and drive-unit systems.

Core responsibilities for this role are:

• Perform and document hardware safety analysis on the electrical hardware to address safety anomalies.
• Develop Hardware FTA, FMEA & FMEDA’s, DFA for electrical hardware design.
• Support reliability organization in deriving mission profiles, FIT rates for hardware components using IEC or Siemens standards.
• Develop hardware safety concepts, hardware safety requirements to lead/drive and provide electrical hardware design recommendations.
• Develop hardware safety concepts, hardware safety analysis and requirements for SoCs, PMICs and microcontrollers.
• Develop hardware architecture in safety critical path for different subsystems.
• Support (but not develop) software safety analysis (FTA, FMEA) and software safety requirements development.
• Develop upstream and downstream traceability between hardware safety, technical safety requirements, relevant test cases and work-products in traceability tool.
• Develop Design Verification Plan (DVP) for relevant hardware safety and system safety requirements including fault injections.
• Support the electrical hardware and power electronics software/controls test teams in executing test cases with troubleshooting.
• Support vehicle functional safety team in development of technical safety requirements and hazard analysis risk assessment.
• Documenting all relevant safety requirements, analysis, architecture implementation, verification, and validation events for each sub-system.

This is what you’ll need:

To execute the role, you will be expected to have:

• MS, BS, or PhD in Electrical/Electronic EngineeringEmbedded systems design experience5+ Years of experience in developing electrical safety hardware design with a functional safety engineering background in ISO 26262 part - 4,5 8 within the automotive or equivalent industries (e.g. aerospace)Understanding of electrical hardware design architecture preferably of Power Electronics applications.Detailed knowledge of electronics design and development process.
• Detailed experience analyzing electrical circuits preferably in power electronics applications.
• Prior experience of performing hardware FTAs, FMEDAs, DFAs at the component level.
• Ability to understand and create traceability in JAMA or similar requirements management tool.
• Ability to work with resilience, zooming out and with out of the box thinking.
• Strong team player with a drive to exceed expectations and meet deadlines.
• Experience working within a cross-functional team.

Preferred to have:

• Tools expertise with Medini, Plato or similar strongly preferred.
• Experience with LTSpice or similar simulation tool with prior experience of simulating circuit failure effects.
