    Lead comprehensive program execution for functional safety workstreams, collaborating with Controls, Hardware, and Embedded Software teams. Maintain program schedules, risk registers, and cross-functional dependency maps to ensure timely achievement of safety milestones. Track and resolve safety-related action items, open points, and audit findings across the vehicle platform.
  • Functional Safety & Standards:
    Drive the development, review, and upkeep of Functional Safety Requirements (FSRs) and Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) in accordance with ISO 26262. Support Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and safety goal derivation processes in partnership with systems safety engineers. Ensure all safety work products meet applicable ASIL targets (A–D).
  • Platform Integration, Testing & Validation:
    Collaborate with integration and validation teams to devise safety-related test strategies for platform-level and system-level verification. Monitor coverage of safety requirements during integration testing, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL).
