Assignment description

To support the new strategy with an aggressive plan for Electrification, the client is currently moving to in-house development of key software components of the traction battery management system. In parallel with the innovation of improved functions of the software, there are standards and best practices that they must fulfil to create a safe and reliable product, and this is where they need your experience and support.

They are looking for a System Safety SW Engineer to join their Battery Management System and Architecture team. The team consists of skilled engineers with deep knowledge in different areas such as System Safety, Diagnostics and SW Architecture. The team is defining the functionality and architecture of the SW, setting the framework for the SW development teams to develop and enhance the different functions of the battery.

Your contribution will be to define SW architecture and SW strategies for battery safety mechanisms according to ISO26262 part 6, by securing that the prerequisites needed for the SW development teams are in place and participate in analysis work needed to set the right requirements for the system. This includes SW architecture analysis and guiding teams to perform SW safety analysis. You will guide the development teams in these activities by assisting with your expertise in system safety.

We expect you to have a degree in computer science or equivalent, with experience in defining SW architecture for safety applications including architecture analysis (scheduling, execution timing) and SW safety analysis (SW FMEA, FTA, DFA). You have deep knowledge in functional safety standard ISO26262, especially SW development part 6, and you also have proven experience within this field.

Mandatory skills:

• Main principles to develop and deliver SW according to ISO 26262
• Defining SW architecture and performing SW architecture analysis
• SW safety requirements allocated to high level SW architecture elements
• Sequence diagrams, flow charts
• Enterprise Architect or equivalent
• Analysis of SW failures and definition of safety mechanisms for SW errors

Since they also have basic software module inhouse development in their department, knowledge in BSW modules and AUTOSAR is also important;

• OS configuration
• Microcontroller
• Memory and memory protection unit
• Communication stacks
• Diagnostic core
• ECU power management
• SPI communication

It is meritorious if you have experience/knowledge of working within the HV-battery domain, or another part of the electrical driveline. Of course, you are also fluent in English (written and spoken).

As a person, you have a positive attitude and focus on possibilities rather than obstacles, and you are structured and possess good documentation skills. Since collaboration, knowledge sharing and guiding people are key in this role it is important that you enjoy working with others in a team/cross functional environment. You are pro-active and persistent in achieving goals, and know when to be flexible in order to achieve those goals.
