SW FuSa Architect

Major Accountabilities:

Contribute to the development and execution of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) activities for software components and systems, ensuring compliance with automotive safety standards and regulations.

Identify potential failure modes, assess their effects on system safety, and define mitigation strategies to eliminate or reduce associated risks, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with project objectives.

Ensure compliance with automotive safety standards, regulations, and guidelines, such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and SAE J3061, throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC), from requirements analysis to release documentation.

Apply expertise in embedded systems to assess and enhance the functional safety of software components and systems deployed in automotive environments, leveraging knowledge of microcontroller architectures, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and automotive communication protocols.

Collaborate with hardware engineers and system architects to integrate functional safety requirements into the design and development of embedded systems, ensuring the safety and reliability of automotive software applications.

Participate in the design and development of safety-critical algorithms for automotive applications, employing rigorous engineering practices and methodologies to ensure the integrity and reliability of algorithmic implementations.

Conduct algorithm SW maturity assessments and fault analysis to identify potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities in algorithm designs, implementing corrective actions as necessary to mitigate safety risks and improve overall system robustness.

Define and document safety requirements for software components and systems, ensuring alignment with system-level safety goals and objectives.

Establish traceability between safety requirements and system-level requirements, facilitating the verification and validation of safety-critical software functions and features throughout the development life cycle.

Develop and maintain technical documentation related to functional safety engineering activities, including safety requirements specifications, safety case documentation, and verification and validation reports.

Engage with internal and external stakeholders, including project teams, customers, and regulatory authorities, to communicate safety-related information, address concerns, and solicit feedback on functional safety engineering activities.

Act as a subject matter expert on functional safety topics, providing guidance and support to project teams and stakeholders to facilitate informed decision-making and ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations.
