Experience

Demonstrated success having worked in a Technical Specialist/Specialist Engineering role on lower complexity product development activities, translating customer needs and negotiating into product development plans, technical profiles and/or product specifications with a proven track record of successful product decisions.

The candidate will act as a Functional Safety Manager for the Accelera central Functional Safety team. In this regard, a familiarity with the principles of developing automotive products to the requirements of ISO-26262, or similar standards, is essential. Experience delivering products through to production is advantageous, as is a professional certification (Functional Safety Engineer / Professional).

The candidate will act as a coordinator of safety activities, aligning the expectations, methodology, and results required from the cross-functional teams which contribute to the safety workstream of the supported programs.

Due to the interdependency of the functional safety workstream on both Hardware and Software design, the development of the safety requirements is a cross-functional activity, requiring a candidate with strong technical and interpersonal skills. Experience in project and team management (for both direct and indirect reports) is highly valuable.

The role can support a hybrid work arrangement, where a combination of on-site and remote working are possible. Specific needs will need to be determined according to project.
