Research Engineer Functional Safety/ Reliability for the Vehicle of the Future (Automotive) Job Description

Challenge the design for hazards
You will work together in a research team that sets up the system architecture and testing procedures for new automation functionalities in highly automated vehicles for  a variety of industry partners (automotive sector, AGVs, public transport, logistic transportation, drones, 'follow-me' vehicles, ...).  Being highly involved in every stage of the development, you are responsible to make sure that the new system will achieve the required level of safety integrity.
 
More specific, you:

• think about the electric/electronical design together with the team;
• map possible hazards and risks, caused by the malfunctioning behavior of electronic and electrical systems, taking into account the (A)SIL level of the vehicle application;
• challenge team members to see the vulnerabilities of the design (“What if…”)
• perform safety analyses, from the first idea until the execution faze, using standards to follow up on the safety of items and system elements;
• impact directly on the architecture concept with your results;
• figure out which tests will be needed to prove the functional safety is sufficient.
