Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

We are seeking a highly skilled Safety-Critical Systems Engineer to join our advanced mobility team focused on developing a next‑generation driverless vehicle platform. This role is central to building a safe, robust, and certifiable control system that ensures fail‑operational behavior and safe fallback strategies in case of system failures.

About the Role

You will be responsible for the architecture, development, and validation of safety microcontroller (MCU) subsystems and critical control interfaces, ensuring compliance with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262. Experience with power steering systems, brake actuators, and ADAS components is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement safety‑critical subsystems based on ASIL‑D compliant MCUs to monitor and control the vehicle in case of primary system failure (e.g., main compute failure).
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and systems teams to define a safe architecture for driverless operation, including emergency braking and failover mechanisms.
• Develop and validate system safety concepts, technical safety requirements, and software safety mechanisms in accordance with ISO 26262.
• Integrate and validate safety MCUs with vehicle CAN and sensor networks, ensuring seamless interaction with power steering, braking, and ADAS subsystems.
• Perform FMEA, FMEDA, and safety analysis to support functional safety case documentation.
• Interface with suppliers of power steering ECUs, brake systems, and ADAS sensors to ensure compatibility with safety goals.
• Develop testing procedures and HIL setups to verify and validate system‑level safety performance.

Your profile

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong experience with CAN/CAN‑FD, fault diagnostics, watchdog design, and state machine control.
• Experience working with power steering systems, brake control units, or ADAS ECUs.
• Experience working with AUTOSAR.
• Experience working in ASPICE‑compliant workflows.
• Strong debugging and system‑level problem‑solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with autonomous systems, teleoperation, or robotic vehicle control.
• Deep understanding of ISO 26262, automotive safety lifecycle, and compliance documentation.
• Proven experience with ASIL‑B to ASIL‑D MCU development (e.g., Infineon AURIX, NXP S32).
• Understanding of redundant communication systems and power architectures in automotive.
• Hands‑on experience with HIL testing, test automation, and fault injection.
