  • Guide customers with little or no prior FuSa experience in defining requirements.
  • Facilitate a sign-off of all involved stakeholders.
• Define the system-level concept of our product:
  • Specify the safety goals / Safety Functions for the development.
  • Define the Functional and Technical Safety Concept of the product.
• Translate customer needs to design input for each of the teams:
  • Lead the creation of a system FMEA.
  • Execute or coordinate the execution of HW metric calculations.
  • Support the hardware and software design specifications.
• Support and monitor development, integration, verification and validation activities:
  • Lead the creation of an integration and test plan, with focus on the FuSa aspects of the development.
  • Lead the creation of a safety manual as part of the product documentation.
  • Perform or ensure execution of quantitative analysis of the electronic hardware.
  • Monitor and control FuSa-relevant activities of the different design and engineering teams.
  • Document the project’s Safety Case.
• Systematically record, analyse, monitor, and report on metrics relevant to the FuSa activities.

Active role in supporting the Functional Safety Engineering team as well as the broader OH Engineering teams to achieve excellence in their system engineering activities:

• Support other teams in growing functional safety engineering maturity.
• Define techniques and tools to improve functional safety engineering efficiency.
• Actively support FuSa team process improvements.
• Follow up of new Fusa related regulations or standards.
