Job Title: Senior Functional Safety & Verification Engineer
Location: Modena, Italy
Employment Type: Tempo pieno
Responsibilities
We are seeking a Senior Functional Safety & Verification Engineer with strong exposure to tractor/off-highway platforms, hybrid powertrains, and high-voltage (HV) electrical/electronic architectures. The role will lead and/or contribute to safety engineering work products from Use of Object (UoO) verification (input to HARA) through HARA, Functional Safety Concept (FSC), Technical Safety Concept (TSC), FMEDA (including DC and MTTF calculations), and verification of software artifacts derived from TSC. The position requires hands-on experience with ISO 25119 and ISO 13849 safety lifecycle expectations and strong cross-functional collaboration.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and verify completeness, correctness, and consistency of UoO (or equivalent functional scope description) used as HARA input.
- Identify gaps/ambiguities, drive clarifications with system/HW/SW/vehicle integration and baseline the UoO for traceability.
- Perform and document HARA according to the project-selected method aligned with ISO 25119 and/or ISO 13849.
- Derive and document Safety Goals (SG) and define FRT (Fault Reaction/Response Time) and safe state expectations per hazard scenario.
- Facilitate safety workshops, maintain risk assessment rationale, and ensure end-to-end traceability: hazards → SG → FSR/TSR → verification evidence.
- Develop and maintain FSC including Functional Safety Requirements (FSRs), safe state definitions, degraded modes, operator warnings, and fault handling strategies.
- Define and maintain TSC including technical safety requirements allocation to HW/SW components and interfaces.
- Perform or lead FMEDA to compute Diagnostic Coverage (DC) and MTTF (or equivalent reliability metrics) for each Safety Goal / safety mechanism set.
- Verify software requirements derived from TSC for correctness, completeness, consistency, testabili
