Functional Safety Technical Leader

What you'll do

• Lead the development of functional safety processes from early architecture through production release.
• Develop and execute a functional safety management plan to ensure hardware platform compliance.
• Apply safety analysis methods including FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, DFA, HARA, and fault injection planning.
• Define and review safety mechanisms for fault detection, diagnostics, isolation, and redundancy.
• Guide engineering teams through safety reviews, work-product closure, supplier evidence reviews, and audits.
• Ensure compliance with functional safety standards such as IEC 61508 or ISO 26262.
• Oversee certification activities and reliability assessments for safety-critical hardware systems.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 8+ years of experience.
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 6+ years of experience.
• PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 3+ years in system level development.
• Experience leading functional safety planning and execution for hardware, semiconductor, embedded, power, or similar safety-critical systems.
• Experience developing and executing functional safety management plans.
• Experience applying safety analysis methods such as FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, DFA, HARA, dependent failure analysis, fault injection planning, or reliability assessment.
• Experience with the IEC 61508 functional safety standard or related performance-based functional safety standards such as ISO 26262 (preferred).
• Experience defining or reviewing safety mechanisms for fault detection, diagnostics, fault isolation, redundancy, safe-state behavior, or hardware-software interfaces (preferred).
