About the role
- Perform safety analysis at all levels of the Glydways Automated Transit System to identify design vulnerabilities and specify safety requirements for the Glydways system, transit network operations, and guideway infrastructure to ensure passenger and operations safety
- Work with project stakeholders to analyze hazards specific to each project, assure compliance to local safety and regulatory standards, and support safety certification for new systems
- Work with cross-functional teams to contribute to the development of automated transit technology, coordinate safety requirements across a complex system, and support definition of system constraints
- Tailor system safety and safety certification plans to comply with project regulatory environment and project schedule
- Perform hazard and risk analysis and define prevention and control measures to control safety risk
- Perform operational hazard analysis including Egress analysis, Fire Life Safety, Maintenance hazard analysis and HMI
- Perform Failure Modes, Effects and Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) of the System, Hardware and Software
- Derive safety requirements for system, hardware and software levels, including design constraints regarding performance and timing to ensure faults and failures are properly mitigated
- Perform RAM analysis and drive system requirements to assure compliance to project RAM targets
- Identify, organize, track, and document all necessary Functional Safety activities within the project
- Communicate findings and recommendations through written and oral presentations to achieve consensus across multi-disciplined teams
Requirements
- Minimum 5+ years of experience working in functional safety, system safety, or safety engineering
- Ability to perform safety analysis for complex designs and functions
- Ability to derive functional safety requirements from analytical and data models like FTA, FMEA
- Excellent communication and presentation skills
- Organization skills and ability to achieve consensus within diverse multi-disciplined teams
- Experience with Product Development Life Cycle (Systems, Hardware, Software)
- Strong analytic and problem-solving skills
- Working knowledge of relevant industry standards including one or more of IEC 61508, EN50126, EN50129, EN50128/EN50716, ASCE 21-21
- Experience developing safety cases for public transit projects (desired)
- Comfort with complex autonomous systems; experience with self-driving vehicles preferred (desired)
- Experience with RAM analysis methods and metrics (desired)
- Working knowledge with “state of the art” tools for physical modeling and simulation (ex. Jama, Jira, Confluence, Python, Medini, etc.) (desired)
- Experience with analytical methods (HARA, HAZOP, SOTIF, FME(C)A, FMEDA, FTA, Dependent Failure Analysis) (desired)
- Ability to demonstrate a proven track record of successfully working with large, complex teams in a results-driven environment (desired)
- Experience with Cybersecurity and Machine Learning is a plus (desired)
