Vehicle Safety and Fault Management Lead

As the Vehicle Safety and Fault Management Lead, you will be responsible for developing and implementing safety strategies for a new line of lightweight mobility systems. This includes designing safety concepts, mechanisms, and diagnostic features to address potential hazards and mitigate risks related to batteries, drive units, actuators, and low-voltage electronics. You will ensure the robustness of safety mechanisms by creating safety documentation, conducting failure analysis, and designing systems that proactively detect and respond to faults during operation.Your role will involve creating and executing comprehensive test plans to validate the effectiveness of safety mechanisms and diagnostic features, including Vehicle/HiL integration tests and Fault Injection Testing. You will maintain traceability between requirements, design implementation, and test results to ensure that all systems meet our internal safety standards.You will work closely with cross-functional teams, guiding the development of safety-related features from concept through to product launch. Your expertise in hazard analysis, risk assessment, and safety validation will be critical in preventing system failures and ensuring the safety and reliability of the final product. You will be a key player in creating a culture of safety, driving forward the development of lightweight electric vehicles with the highest standards of operational safety.ResponsibilitiesDevelop safety concepts, strategies, and mechanisms to address potential hazards and mitigate risks for a new line of lightweight mobility system that includes batteries, drive units, actuators, and various low voltage electronicsDesign and implement safety mechanisms, including fail-safe mechanisms, and diagnostic features.Create safety documentation, including safety requirements specifications, safety case reports, and technical design documentsAnalyzing system failures and developing strategies to detect and respond to faults during operationCreate and execute test plans and procedures to verify and validate the effectiveness of safety mechanisms and diagnostics, ensuring compliance with internal safety standards.Vehicle/HiL integration tests for safety validation and Fault Injection TestingDesign and implement diagnostic features to detect faults early, enabling timely intervention and preventing critical system failuresMaintain traceability between requirements, implementation, and test results.QualificationsBS degree in electrical engineering or equivalent5+ years of experience with hands-on complex electromechanical systemsWorking knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, SPI) and Vector toolsExpertise in embedded systems programming with a focus on Functional Safety.Experience with safety programs from early concept through product launchDemonstrated strong ability to move seamlessly between levels of abstraction - from system to the "nuts and bolts" implementation.Experience with collaboration tools like JIRA, Confluence & requirements management tools like JAMASkilled in hazard analysis, risk assessment, FMEA, and fault tree analysisFamiliarity with safety requirements, concepts, and mechanisms.Exceptional problem-solving abilities and a collaborative team player.Effective communication skills to manage communication with the different stakeholders of the project.Familiarity with relevant functional safety standards like ISO 26262
