Descripción

The Ideal Candidate:        

We are seeking a motivated and innovative ECU Hardware Safety Analysis Engineer to lead circuit-level safety analysis efforts and help define and enhance internal safety analysis methodologies for in-house designed ECUs.

In this role, you will perform detailed circuit-level electronics safety assessments that support the overall System Safety Case for ECUs within a Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) electrical architecture. Your contributions will play a critical role in advancing technologies aligned with General Motors’ Vision of Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions, and Zero Congestion.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience conducting DFMEA at both the ECU and circuit levels, along with a strong technical foundation in hardware safety analysis. You are a proactive leader who drives innovation, fosters collaboration, and communicates complex technical concepts clearly across cross-functional teams. Success in this role requires strong business acumen, the ability to navigate ambiguity, and a strategic mindset to address system-level challenges. A passion for continuous learning and a commitment to challenging conventional approaches are essential.

The Role:

Safety is truly in your hands, as your passion for safe mobility will be key in ensuring the functional safety of our inhouse developed ECUs for our latest vehicle architecture.  In this role you are expected to have a high level of technical proficiency to perform various ECU, sub-component and circuit level safety analysis tasks that supports various SDV ECUs, and provide mentoring to more junior engineers.  This team will function in the capacity of performing the required safety analysis within an ECU design responsible organization where work products will be delivered to the System Functional Safety organization to meet the overall system safety case and safety goals of the ECU.  This team will interface across various GM engineering disciplines as well as external engineering entities to obtain needed information for the required safety analysis work.

What You’ll Do:

  • Perform ECU circuit level safety analysis, hazard identification and risk mitigations using qualitative and quantitative methods on a multitude of ECUs.
  • Support ECU Safety strategy development and deploy safety strategies that balance overall System Safety with feature availability & performance.
  • Perform detailed ECU circuit level safety analysis using various software analysis & documentation tools in the following areas:
    • DFMEA (Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis)
    • FIT (Failures In Time)
    • FMEDA (Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis)
    • FTA (Fault Tree Analysis)
  • Drive ECU, sub-component and/or circuit level design modifications determined necessary from the safety analysis work performed.
  • Support development of new and/or revise existing technical safety related requirements for ECU CTRS (Component Technical Requirements Specification).
  • Actively lead, participate and contribute in System Safety GSSLT (Global Subsystem Leadership Team), ECU HW Change Control Board and ECU safety analysis Peer Review forums.
  • Stay abreast of new technologies and safety analysis techniques.
  • Domestic and/or international travel as required (minimal, 10% max).

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

  • 7+ years engineering experience in product development with safety critical systems, ECUs or electronic circuit safety analysis.
  • Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or another related Engineering degree.
  • Electronic Circuit and/or Software design, analysis, development, validation experience.
  • Deep knowledge of safety critical embedded controls with at least one automotive subsystem or experience with a complex safety system in other industries.
  • Good knowledge of Semiconductor physics, structures, fundamentals, models and failure mechanisms.
  • Demonstrated leadership and project management of complex technical projects.
  • Ability to provide technical leadership and mentorship to diverse global teams.
  • ISO 26262 Certified Safety Expert

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

  • 10+ years engineering experience in product development with safety critical systems, ECUs or electronic circuit safety analysis.
  • In-depth familiarity with other functional safety standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 62304, or DO-178C.
  • Familiarity with safety analysis tools, techniques and standards:
    • Mentor or Cadence tool suite used in electronics design
    • Medini or Plato-e1ns or other analysis/documentation tool for DFMEA
    • Medini, Isograph, Fault Tree + or other analysis tool for FMEDA / FTA
    • Siemens SN29500, IEC 62380 or other reliability standards for FIT rate analysis
    • Emerging safety standards such as ISO 21448 and UL 4600
  • Knowledge of electronics sub-component mechanical design integration within ECUs as it relates to circuit implementation reliability and failure mechanisms.
  • Familiarity with common safety mechanisms implemented in Automotive ECU's
  • Machine learning, simulation methods and data acquisition.
