Your mission

About the Role

You will be responsible for the architecture, development, and validation of safety microcontroller (MCU) subsystemsand critical control interfaces, ensuring compliance with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262. Experience with power steering systems, brake actuators, and ADAS components is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement safety-critical subsystems based on ASIL-D compliant MCUs to monitor and control the vehicle in case of primary system failure (e.g., main compute failure).
Collaborate with hardware, software, and systems teams to define safe architecture for driverless operation, including emergency braking and failover mechanisms.
Develop and validate system safety concepts, technical safety requirements, and software safety mechanisms [in accordance with ISO 26262].
Integrate and validate safety MCUs with vehicle CAN and sensor networks, ensuring seamless interaction with power steering, braking, and ADAS subsystems.
Perform FMEA, FMEDA, and safety analysis to support functional safety case documentation.
Interface with suppliers of power steering ECUs, brake systems, and ADAS sensors to ensure compatibility with safety goals.
Develop testing procedures and HIL setups to verify and validate system-level safety performance.

Your profile

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.
Strong experience with CAN/CAN-FD, fault diagnostics, watchdog design, and state machine control.
Experience working with power steering systems, brake control units, or ADAS ECUs.
Experience working with AUTOSAR
Experience working in ASPICE-compliant workflows
Strong debugging and system-level problem-solving skills.
Excellent communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with autonomous systems, teleoperation, or robotic vehicle control.
Deep understanding of ISO 26262, automotive safety lifecycle, and compliance documentation.
Proven experience with ASIL-B to ASIL-D MCU development (e.g., Infineon AURIX, NXP S32).
Understanding of redundant communication systems and power architectures in automotive.
Hands-on experience with HIL testing, test automation, and fault injection.

Tips for a successful application:

We take the time to review each application manually. So, please respect our time by submitting an application that reflects who you are and explains why you are right for this role.

1. Read the job description carefully. Don't just fire off a generic application. You are then just wasting your time and ours.

2. Share relevant work samples. This matters more than a polished CV.

3. Briefly explain what you bring to the table as a candidate: How is your skill set driving value for the company? How are you making our team stronger?

4. Don't let AI speak for you. We receive 1000's of applications, most of them written by AI. They all sound the same. Use AI to polish your language or fix your grammar, but don't let it do the thinking for you.
