• Calibrate electronic control unit parameters based on functional safety requirements and component specifications.
• Analyze electronic control unit software configuration and create/update safety monitoring calibration configuration.
• Assess safety monitoring software and calibration performance in-vehicle.
• Analyze issues and provide feedback for potential solutions.
• Performsafety relevant validation tests such as fault insertion testing of safety relevant components, vehicle reaction tests, etc.
• Plan/coordinate/track all validation activities related to functional safety (powertrain) according ISO 26262, in all relevant phases of the project.
• Document allactivities for the safety case (project specific proof of functional safety according to e.g. ISO26262), according to the safety plan.
• Discuss functional safety related topics with the customer.
• Provide regular reporting to project team and management.
