We’re looking for a Functional Safety & RAS Lead to help us build safe and highly reliable compute platforms for automotive, robotics, physical AI, data center, and other demanding applications. This is an individual contributor role for someone who knows functional safety deeply and also likes working with customers and getting complex work done. You’ll work across the product lifecycle, partnering with customers, technical architects, and engineering teams to turn safety and reliability needs into products we can deliver.

• Work with customers and internal teams to understand functional safety and RAS needs, from initial requirements and safety goals through development, assessment, release, and customer support. Partner with the technical architect to define the capabilities to meet customer requirements.
• Be a go‑to expert on functional safety, especially ISO 26262 and IEC
  61508 and how they apply to processor and SoC products.
• Define program scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, and engineering resource needs based on customer and product requirements.
• Keep work moving across architecture, design, verification, software, quality, program management, product, and customer‑facing teams.
• Make sure safety requirements and decisions stay traceable through implementation, verification, documentation, product changes, and releases.
• Identify gaps and technical risks, including dependent failures and common‑cause concerns, and work with architect and engineering teams to address them.
• Support customer assessments, internal reviews, external assessors, audits, and certification activities.
• Partner with product, sales, and applications teams on customer questions, safety documentation, and product integration guidance.

• You have a record of getting cross‑functional work done across teams you don’t manage.
• Deep knowledge of functional safety and ISO 26262, including FMEDA, fault modeling, diagnostic coverage, safety cases, and fault‑injection planning.
• Experience applying functional safety standards to semiconductor, processor, or SoC development and working directly with automotive customers.
• Enough knowledge of processor or SoC architecture and…
