Summary

Hello,
Greetings,
Hope you are safe & healthy.
 
My name is Kundan Mishra. I am a Technical Recruiter with Altitude Technology Solutions (ATS) INC.
The purpose of this email is to serve as an invitation to discuss the opportunity below with our customer that I think you or your candidate would be a great fit for.
 
Role- Functional Safety Engineer 
Location- Palo Alto/ Fremont, CA (onsite)
 
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a technically deep Functional Safety Engineer to own hardware-level safety analysis across EV electronics platforms. You will serve as the safety authority applying ISO 26262 Part 5 requirements to high-voltage powertrain, battery management, and chassis control systems — partnering with hardware, firmware, and systems teams to embed safety into design from day one.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • FMEDA: Lead and execute FMEDA for electronic hardware elements — ASICs, SoCs, PMICs, microcontrollers, power electronics — evaluating SPFM, LFM, and PMHF against ASIL-B/C/D targets.
  • Fault Tree Analysis: Perform quantitative FTA at hardware and system levels; compute minimal cut sets and top-event probabilities vs. safety goals.
  • Dependent Failure Analysis: Conduct DFA to identify and mitigate common-cause and cascading failures; ensure freedom-from-interference across safety-critical subsystems.
  • Mission Profiles & FIT Rates: Define and apply custom mission profiles for California EV operating conditions; accurately compute component FIT rates using IEC TR 62380, SN 29500, or MIL-HDBK-217.
  • Tool Expertise: Execute safety analyses in Ansys Medini Analyze and Isograph Reliability Workbench; maintain reusable component libraries and diagnostic coverage templates.
  • Safety Architecture: Develop hardware safety concepts, requirements, and architecture for electronics subsystems; drive upstream/downstream traceability in JAMA or DOORS.
