General Motors seeks a Safety Design Software Architect in Milford, MI.
Duties: Participate with System Safety Engineering in planning/defining high-level design of the product solution; explore solution alternatives. Define subsystems and their interfaces, allocate responsibilities to sub systems, understand solution deployment and communicate requirements for interactions with the solution context. Provide and monitor the necessary adherence to appropriate design guidelines for Safety Critical Software. Analyze the full control system and visualize what issues and faults can occur and build designs that mitigate those risks. Define Safety Critical calibrations jointly with System Safety and Calibration Technical Specialist. Lead high severity safety-related investigations and work with other Safety Design Software Architects to resolve safety issues. Provide technical training and establish effective mechanisms of knowledge sharing. Mentor Software and Controls engineers into becoming capable Safety System Architects. Operate within the business constraints when analyzing the impact of design decisions. Architect the solution for scalability, maintainability, and testability. Derive lower-level system requirements from the System Safety requirements for function or interfaces (example: deploy-ability and portability). Support the ARTs during Planning and Implementation with technical guidance, review system architecture designs in all areas of ART planning. Assist in Backlog refinements to identify Safety Critical features and functions. Ensure proper prioritization of Safety Critical requirements. Ensure adherence to Development Vehicle Usage Levels (DVUL) and Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) requirements and timelines. Plan and develop the Architectural Runway for the SW Safety strategy. Create enabler Features and Stories aligned to Program and Solution Roadmap and Safety Cases Advocate for Enabler requirements supporting the System Safety strategy. Support Built in Quality and Continuous Compliance Perform Software Safety Analyses based on derived requirements allocated by System Safety. Establish System Safety requirements generated by the above analysis or decomposed from the allocated System Safety requirements. Participate in the definition of product development requirements. Ensure proper completion of all necessary business records and documentation. Participate and validate system demonstration adherence to System Safety requirements. Prioritize, along with other Safety Design System Architects, the scrum team’s Backlog. Define deliverables for Scrum team development of System Safety monitors. Review System Safety monitor designs and confirm overall quality. Hybrid Work Policy - 3 days In-office, 2 days remote - Must be able to report to local office.
REQUIREMENTS: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field of study. Seven (7) years of experience as a Controls Design Engineer, Functional Safety Systems Engineer, Engine Management System Control Algorithm Engineer or related occupation. Five years of experience in the following: C/C++ Programming and auto-code generated from Simulink models; Software-in-the-Loop, Model-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulation; Calibration and rapid controller prototyping tools; Simulink, MATLAB, DOORs and GIT environment; and Plant modeling and analysis tools. Three years of experience in the following: Implementing safety-critical design features including redundancy and fail-safe mechanisms. Two years of experience in the following: Battery safety mechanisms, state-of-charge (SOC), state-of-health (SOH), and thermal management; High voltage battery technologies including lithium-ion; DIN, ISO, and SAE standards related to electric vehicle charging and infrastructure including ISO26262 and FMVSS standards; and Development in applying the dynamic system modeling principles and control theories.
