Overview
This is a unique opportunity to work on pioneering technologies, advancing JLR's Functional Safety software architecture to ensure seamless integration from development through to delivery and validation. As a Functional Safety Lead Engineer, you'll play a vital role in developing a comprehensive functional safety strategy for our propulsion systems.
You will work closely with Feature and Software Development teams and other cross-functional stakeholders to ensure our propulsion systems meet the highest safety standards. With access to industry-leading resources, you'll shape the future of JLR's safety standards in electric and hybrid propulsion systems.
Key Responsibilities:
* Establish robust and documented safety methods for diverse propulsion systems and coordinate Feature teams on Functional Safety activities.
* Develop and refine automated Functional Safety processes and ensure tool capability aligns with JLR safety objectives.
* Lead Functional Safety software architecture working closely with our team software designers.
* Partner with suppliers and serve as a 'Matched-Pair' liaison with software and calibration designers.
* Drive improvement projects to enhance processes, tools, and safety methodologies across JLR's propulsion systems.
Requirements:
* Strong knowledge of propulsion system controls and calibration, ideally at a detailed level.
* Hands-on experience in system modelling (vehicle and/or propulsion systems) and Functional Safety in automotive or safety-critical environments.
* Skilled in requirements capture tools (DOORS, TRM) and modelling tools (Matlab/Simulink, ASCET or similar).
* Proficient in safety analysis techniques (FMEA, FTA) and knowledgeable of ISO 26262 and other safety standards.
* Experience leading structured problem-solving for complex engineering issues, with a focus on continuous improvement.
