• Define standard software interfaces between vehicle controllers, displays, sensors, actuators, gateways, controls applications, and external systems.
• Participate in design reviews and document findings, risks, actions, and recommendations.
• Support safety analyses such as Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment, Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis.
• Work with systems engineers, controls engineers, developers, and functional safety engineers to develop software and system safety architectures.
• Work with implementation teams to clarify requirements, interfaces, safety constraints, and architectural intent.
• Review supplier requirements, software architecture, detailed designs, verification plans, and compliance evidence.
• Assess the technical impact of proposed changes across software components, interfaces, safety analyses, verification activities, vehicle functions, and dependent systems.
• Apply model-based systems and software engineering methods, including UML and SysML;
• Build consensus across software, systems, controls, hardware, safety, cybersecurity, test, manufacturing, service, and supplier organizations.
