POSITION: Systems Engineer II
JOB DESCRIPTION: Responsible for functional-safety engineering and systems analysis activities supporting the development and commercialization of an autonomous truck platform. Define and validate safety goals, develop safety architectures, conduct safety analyses, and coordinate across multidisciplinary hardware and software teams to establish a complete functional-safety case in accordance with ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) standards. Contribute to both prototype and production phases of embedded compute, perception, and actuation subsystems. Support vehicle-level Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessments (HARA) and derive safety goals, ASIL classifications, and functional-safety concepts for perception, compute, and actuation domains. Develop and maintain Technical Safety Concepts (TSC), including hardware and software safety architectures for autonomous-drive kits. Conduct Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA), System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) and related inductive/deductive analyses for Autonomous Driving Kit. Lead design and verification reviews to ensure compliance with ISO 26262 Parts 3-9; create and review safety work products (item definition, safety plan, safety requirements, and FMEDA reports). Collaborate with Tier-1 suppliers and internal component-enablement teams to evaluate hardware design safety mechanisms and diagnostic coverage for LiDAR, radar, camera, IMU, and data-logger subsystems. Develop and trace safety requirements in Jama, maintaining full bidirectional traceability between requirements, architecture, and test results. Support verification and validation (V&V) planning and define safety test cases to confirm system compliance with allocated safety requirements. Prepare and present safety-case documentation, design reviews, and assessment packages to internal and external assessors. Apply SOTIF and advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS / AD) safety principles to Level-4 autonomous applications. Coordinate cross-functional discussions with systems, software, electrical, and mechanical engineers distributed across global teams and time zones.
Minimum Requirements: Master's degree in Automotive Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 2 years of experience in functional-safety engineering within the automotive domain. Must have experience with each of the following: ISO 26262 work-product development (FSC, TSC, HW, SW, HARA, FMEDA, FMEA, FTA); functional-safety tools such as Jama, DOORS, Medini Analyze, Isograph, Polarion, or MATLAB/Simulink; hardware and software safety analyses for Autonomous or advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS) systems; system-safety analysis methods (HARA, HAZOP, STPA); experience with safety analysis (HAZOP, HARA, STPA FSC, TSC, FMEDA, FMEA, FTA) of autonomous or advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS) systems; and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and cybersecurity standards (ISO/SAE 21434).
Alternative Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Automotive Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 5 years of experience in functional-safety engineering within the automotive domain. Must have experience with each of the following: ISO 26262 work-product development (FSC, TSC, HW, SW, HARA, FMEDA, FMEA, FTA); functional-safety tools such as Jama, DOORS, Medini Analyze, Isograph, Polarion, or MATLAB/Simulink; hardware and software safety analyses for Autonomous or advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS) systems; system-safety analysis methods (HARA, HAZOP, STPA); experience with safety analysis (HAZOP, HARA, STPA FSC, TSC, FMEDA, FMEA, FTA) of autonomous or advanced-driver-assistance (ADAS) systems; and ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and cybersecurity standards (ISO/SAE 21434).
