Functional Safety System Architect

The **Functional Safety System Architect** is responsible for technical safety concept definition, the execution of functional safety analysis, the analysis of key safety technologies and trends, the customer and supplier facing activities.

As part of the Offer Team he/she contributes to the early definition of the product and its safety Concept during the Offer Phase in order to make proper evaluation of the functional safety impacts on the HW and SW perimeter and related development effort and costs.

As part of the System and HW Platform/System Team he/she supports the generation of the technical safety concept, including requirements and architecture modeling for HW and SW components, and architecture analysis.

**Main activities/responsibilities**
- Monitor technology trends on HW and SW safety relevant functionalities also comparing proposals from different vendors.
- Specify and select the basic HW and SW technologies needed to achieve the target performances and to ensure the best cost/performance compromise.
- Define the technical safety concept and document the functional repartition between HW and SW in cooperation with HW and SW System Architects.
- Elaborate internal System Requirements related to functional safety in cooperation with the System Requirement Engineer, HW and SW System Architects
- Model the System at functional and HW and SW level, also allocating System Requirements to the HW and SW System Blocks
- Provide governance in the HW and SW teams about different implementation proposals
- Ensure project execution and related work products are aligned with Functional Safety processes and requirements.
- Participate when requested to the meetings with the customer supporting the Technical Project Leader (TPL) and SW Project Leader on technical discussion
- Deploy the System FMEA and qualitative FTA.
- Estimate System performances also defining and using suitable models, in order to define the optimal HW and SW resources budget

**Key Skills**
- Requirements management tools knowledge (e.g. DOORS)
- System Architecture design
- Architecture modeling methodologies and tools (SysML, UML, Enterprise Architect)
- Functional Safety standard and design rules (ISO 26262) knowledge
- Analytic tools and methodologies (e.g. APIS IQ, FMEA, FTA, DFA)
- Capability to effectively design and use multiprocessor architectures
- Knowledge of real-time OS (e.g.: AUTOSAR) and safety partitioning
- Silicon devices, processors, micro-controller Safety analysis and Safety mechanisms
- Product Development Standard Processes
- Quality System knowledge
- Atlassian Suite (Jira, Confluence tools) knowledge

**Language Skills**
- Advanced written and spoken English

**Education & Former Experience**
- Electronic Engineering Degree, Information Science Degree.
- Experience on HW and SW product development for the overall life cycle (from RFQ phase to Production follow up).
- More than 5 years-experience of embedded real time electronic product development with high level of SW contents.
- The above competences must be maturated in automotive area or other large-scale markets.
- Experienced in planning, monitoring and control activities (Project Management & Tools)
