Location: Modena, Italy
Employment Type: Full Time
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, testability, and traceability to SG/FSR/TSR.
* Review software architecture for safety mechanism implementation integrity (watchdog strategy, plausibility checks, state machines, safe state control, diagnostics manager).
* Review and/or author test specifications ensuring coverage of safety requirements, negative testing, fault injection, boundary conditions, and timing (FRT) verification.
* Provide review records, deviations, and closure evidence; support internal/external safety assessments as required.
Required Qualifications
* B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, Control Systems, Automotive Engineering, or equivalent.
* 7+ years of relevant experience in safety-related control systems, functional safety engineering, and verification (off-highway/tractor strongly preferred).
* Hands-on experience performing HARA and developing FSC/TSC under ISO 25119 and/or ISO 13849.
* Proven experience with FMEDA and reliability/DC calculations; ability to defend assumptions and results.
* Must-Have Skills
* Functional Safety: UoO verification, hazard identification, risk assessment, SG definition, FRT definition, safety requirement derivation and traceability.
* Safety Concepts: strong experience in FSC and TSC creation, safety path definition, technical safety requirement allocation, and architecture reviews.
* FMEDA: failure mode modeling, diagnostic coverage calculation, MTTF/reliability modeling, and documentation of mission profiles/assumptions.
* Hybrid/HV Systems Understanding: HV power distribution, contactors/pre-charge, isolation monitoring, HVIL, inverter/DC-DC behavior, energy management fault handling.
* Verification: SW requirements quality (clear, measurable, testable), SW architecture review, test specification review/creation and coverage analysis.
* Good-to-Have Skills
* Exposure to ISO 26262 / 61508 and safety case argumentation practices.
* Experience with SIL/HIL, fault injection, timing analysis, and diagnostic validation testing.
* Experience with tractor/off-highway communication standards (e.g., CAN/J1939/ISOBUS) and service diagnostics.
* Knowledge of cybersecurity considerations for safety-related functions (interface robustness, diagnostic access controls) as applicable.
* Strong documentation and communication skills; ability to defend safety analyses in customer and audit reviews. xdwybme
* Structured problem solving, risk identification, and closure tracking; proactive escalation when safety concerns arise.
