• Compliance Management: Ensure compliance with automotive functional safety standards, particularly ISO 26262. Stay up-to-date with the latest regulations and standards related to automotive functional safety and implement necessary changes to ensure compliance.
• Safety Analysis: Conduct safety analyses such as Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis), FMEDA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis), and FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) to identify and mitigate potential safety risks.
• Safety Requirements Engineering: Define and manage safety requirements throughout the product development lifecycle. Ensure that safety requirements are correctly allocated to the appropriate owners of system, hardware, and software components based on the company's role in the automotive supply chain.
• Safety Verification and Validation: Develop safety verification and validation plans and ensure that safety requirements are verified, validated, and documented throughout the development process. Coordinate with cross-functional teams to conduct safety tests and analyses.
• Safety Culture Promotion: Foster a culture of safety within the organization by providing training and guidance to engineering teams on functional safety concepts, standards, and best practices.
• Documentation and Reporting: Maintain thorough documentation of safety processes, analyses, and verification/validation activities. Generate safety reports and present findings to relevant stakeholders.
• Customer Interface: Work directly with the customers to ensure synchronization of responsibilities including coordinated testing where applicable and where practical for vehicle-level testing and access.

We also have all the best benefits, including:

• Stock options
• Coverage for (health, dental, vision) including qualified dependents
• Healthcare spending accounts (FSA, HSA)
• 401K
