Principal Functional Safety & Cyber Security Engineer
UK / Prague | Hybrid & flexible working
Birmingham
£75,000
In a nutshell, you're there to make sure the product being designed is both safe and secure.
Day to day, work alongside the systems, hardware and software engineers, reviewing designs and requirements and asking two main questions: “What could go wrong?” and “How do we design it so that it doesn’t?”
HARA/TARA/FMEA/FTA/FMEDA analyses, reviewing safety and cybersecurity requirements, checking designs against ISO 26262 and ISO 21434, discussing issues with engineers/suppliers, documenting findings, recommending changes, and joining customer reviews.
You’re the safety and cybersecurity expert sitting across the engineering teams, making sure the system is designed correctly, risks are identified early, and the finished product meets the required automotive safety and security standards.
The Role
Your responsibilities will include:
- Delivering engineering activities within ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 frameworks
- Developing and reviewing functional safety and cyber security concepts and requirements
- Performing safety, security and failure analysis including HARA, TARA, FMEA, FTA and DFA
- Translating analysis findings into clear technical, hardware and software requirements
- Supporting hardware reliability studies, including FMEDA and fault metric calculations
- Working with safety metrics including SPFM, LPF/LFM and PMHF
- Collaborating across Systems, Hardware and Software engineering teams
- Working closely with component engineers, suppliers and customers
- Supporting customer design and functional safety reviews
- Ensuring engineering work products comply with relevant processes, legislation, regulations and standards
- Delivering technical activities against agreed project milestones
