EM-EA-Functional Safety Engineer

Embitel Technologies; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 2,400,000 - 4,800,000; Full time

Job summary

Embitel Technologies in Bengaluru is seeking a Senior Functional Safety Engineer to lead end-to-end activities for Automotive ICs, ensuring ASIL D compliance and robust safety architectures. You will develop safety plans, FMEDA, and safety cases while guiding cross-functional teams.

You will drive FS analyses (FMEA/FTA), conduct audits, and collaborate with OEMs to resolve issues. Strong expertise in ISO 26262 and ASPICE Level 3 is required, with mentoring responsibilities for junior engineers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
• 8+ years of experience in Semiconductor development, specifically Automotive ICs.
• Proven record of leading functional safety projects independently through ASIL D certification.
• Strong knowledge of ISO 26262 (Part 2-11) and related standards.
• Past involvement in ASPICE Level 3 infrastructure and process development.
• Deep hands-on experience with FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, DFA and safety mechanism design/verification.
• Familiarity with requirements management tools (DOORS, Jama, Polarion) and safety analysis tools.
• Excellent communication to interface with OEMs, Tier 1s, certification bodies, and cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end functional safety activities for Automotive ICs (ASIL D).
• Define and maintain Safety Plans, Concepts, FMEDA, Safety Manuals, and Safety Cases.
• Develop SEooC, AoU approaches and derive safety goals with ASIL decomposition.
• Drive safety architecture for digital/analog/mixed-signal ICs with safety mechanisms.
• Assert FMEA, FMEDA, FTA analyses ensuring ASIL metrics are met.
• Conduct FS Audits, Confirmation Measures, Assessments, and Reviews.
• Collaborate with design/verification/software teams for safe partitioning of ASIL vs QM.
• Engage with OEMs/Tier 1s and assessors for safety issues and audits.
• Perform HW evaluation on non-compliance Ips; support ASPICE Level 3 processes.
• Mentor junior functional safety engineers and promote best practices.

Job description

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end functional safety activities for Automotive ICs in compliance with ISO 26262 (ASIL D).
• Define, implement, and maintain Safety Plans, Safety Concepts, FMEDA, Safety Manuals, and Safety Cases.
• Implement System Element out of context (SEooC), Assumption of Use (AoU) apprach and derive safety goals with ASIL decomposition strategies.
• Drive technical safety architecture definition for digital, analog, and mixed-signal ICs, including design and verification of safety mechanisms (ECC, lockstep CPUs, watchdogs, voltage/clock monitors).
• Perform and lead FMEA, FMEDA, and FTA analyses ensuring ASIL metrics (SPFM, LFM, PMHF) are satisfied.
• Independently conduct Functional Safety Audits, Confirmation Measures, Assessments, and Reviews.
• Collaborate with internal design, verification, and software teams to ensure freedom from interference and safe partitioning of ASIL vs. QM functions.
• Partner with OEMs, Tier 1 customers, and external assessors to address safety issues, support audits, and resolve concerns.
• Perform HW evaluation on non-compliance Ips (internal and external based)
• Support ASPICE Level 3 process development, ensuring alignment of FuSa with broader quality and process frameworks.
• Mentor junior functional safety engineers and help shape best practices across the organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Eng. , or related discipline.
