  • Perform or coordinate SW safety analyses (SW FMEA, DFA) to identify potential failure modes and their impact on safety.
  • Develop and maintain SW safety analyses reports.
  • Provide guidance and support to software development teams on safety-related topics, including coding standards, testing methodologies, and safety validation techniques.
  • Represent SW functional safety in customer meetings.
