Electronics Functional Safety Engineer

Electronics Functional Safety Engineer

The Electronics Functional Safety Engineer (FSE) is a design and development role within the Advanced Battery Core Electronics Team that reports directly to the Global Electronics Engineering Manager. This important role provides technical leadership within a team environment to design and develop requirements driven functionally safe electronic circuits as part of the Battery Management System (BMS) that goes into Clarios' new generation of lithium-ion batteries.

The electronic BMS is critical to the performance and safety of the battery. As a member of this team, you will be exposed to the latest in BMS technology and contribute to developing "best-in-class" electronic battery controls.

The Electronics Functional Safety Engineer will:

• Execute the detailed technical aspects of FuSa analysis, requirements, design and verification & validation (V&V)
• Execute safety analyses (Quantified Fault-Tree, FMEA, Common-mode analysis, reliability analysis)
• Define electronic hardware requirements and specifications
• Define electronic hardware V&V plans and methods
• Implementation of hardware safety design best practices
• Develop Functional Safety aspects of the hardware DVP&R (System V&V)
• Support verification (Peer) reviews of design, analysis and V&V prepare reports
• The Hardware FSE authority: defining specifications and preparing technical reports for hardware engineering requirements, analyses, design and V&V
• Experience in controls system and electronic system design
• Collaborate with Systems Safety Team to review Functional and Technical Safety requirements
• Perform ASIL decomposition and common cause analysis
• Create Hardware Safety requirements consistent with ISO 26262 Part 5
• Develop BMS safety concept and support BMS design team (including Systems and Software) in implementing according to ISO 26262 Parts 5 and 6
• Perform qualitative analysis (FMEA, FTA) and quantitative analysis (FMEDA)
• Perform Hardware verification and confirmation reviews
• Work with multidisciplinary team of software, mechanical, system, test, safety, and production engineers to develop a successful product.
• Follow program timing and deliver results according to plan to ensure successful completion of the assigned project phase within the budgeted timing and cost constraints.
• Ability to effectively work with and lead in a cross functional team environment with minimal supervision

What we look for:

Required:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or equivalent degree
• 6+ years of professional experience in electronics Fu Sa
• Detailed training in ISO 26262 Functional Safety Engineering
• Hands on experience in deriving Functional Safety work products as per ISO 26262
• Experience or training in safety analysis (HARA, FMEA, Fault-Tree, Common mode analysis)
• Experience in ASPICE
• Experience in tools like JAMA, JIRA, Git Hub, Cameo System Modeler, Medini Analyse/Reliability Workbench etc.
