- Assess vendor deliverables to guarantee ASIL standards are met for firmware/software maturity and diagnostic systems.
- Execute board-level FMEDA for sophisticated integrated circuits, including FPGAs and microcontrollers.
- Partner with Software, FW, and EE departments to define architectural requirements that enhance diagnostic monitoring.
- Support the V&V team in developing SOTIF-compliant simulation and physical test protocols for edge-case scenarios.
Qualifications
- Minimum of a B.S. in Automotive, Robotics, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineering.
- At least 3 years of professional experience involving board bring-up, silicon validation, or hardware design.
- Understanding of SOTIF and ISO 26262 safety protocols.
- Strong interpersonal and professional communication capabilities within a collaborative environment
Bonus Qualifications
- ISO 26262 professional certification (CFSP or CFSE).
- Background in automotive-grade hardware validation and design.
- Experience utilizing traceability platforms like JAMA or Polarion.
- Familiarity with industry standards including IEC 61508, DO-254, and DO-178C during board bring-up.
