Lead powertrain safety and fail-operational design and analysis covering high-voltage battery systems, charging, propulsion, and on-vehicle load management
Architect vehicle-level safety concepts, focusing on fault tolerance, and fail-operational behaviors necessary for supporting autonomy and ensuring mission assurance on the vehicle’s powertrain functions
Develop vehicle level safety concepts covering fault detection, and vehicle level reaction for ensuring the powertrain systems can achieve mission objectives under presence of faults
Own the delivery of key work-products including hazard analysis risk assessment (HARA), fault tree analysis (FTA), functional safety concept, vehicle level safety requirements, safety clearance artifacts, and quantitative residual risk assessments
Drive consensus across product, feature, operations, vehicle engineering, software, autonomy and legal teams to implement and release safety requirements

Requirements

B.S. or higher degree in Automotive, Aerospace, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
Proven track record with electrified powertrains (battery management systems, motor drives/inverters, high to low voltage Direct Current to Direct Current (DC/DC) converters, vehicle torque management, etc)
Hands-on experience in developing for safety-critical applications in autonomous vehicles, automotive, or aerospace spanning both fail-safe and fail-operational regimes
4+ years of work experience conducted hazard analysis risk assessment, authoring requirements and their decomposition, managing requirements and requirements traceability through development
Experience performing first-principles based analysis, simulation(Matlab, Python, etc), etc to drive trade-offs between various architectural choices, diagnostics or reactions
Hands-on experience creating work-products for functional safety standards ISO 26262, ISO 13849, IEC 61508, DO-178C, DO-254, or equivalent
Experience with requirements management tools such as Jama, Doors, Polarion, etc.
