TL;DR

As an ECU Hardware Safety Analysis Engineer at General Motors, you will join a dedicated team responsible for advancing the functional safety of in-house designed ECUs within a Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) architecture. Your primary responsibilities include conducting detailed circuit-level electronics safety analyses to support the development of the overall System Safety Case and driving design modifications based on your findings. You will use tools like DFMEA, FIT, FMEDA, and FTA for comprehensive analysis and collaborate with cross-functional teams across GM and external entities. This role requires a deep understanding of semiconductor physics, ISO 26262 certification, and familiarity with additional safety standards such as IEC 61508 and DO-178C. Ideal candidates have over five years of experience in product development for safety-critical systems and possess strong leadership skills to mentor junior engineers while navigating complex technical challenges.
