System Development Engineer (Functional Safety)

Quick Facts

• Role: System Development Engineer (Functional Safety)
• Location: Kraków (hybrid; 1 day per week in office)
• Scope: Functional safety compliance (ISO 26262) across the full product lifecycle (V-cycle)

Description

You will be responsible for ensuring product compliance with ISO 26262 requirements from concept through production. As a functional safety technical expert, you will translate high-level safety concepts into hardware and software solutions for inverter-related system functions. You will work across teams to support system development, requirements, safety analyses, and validation (including HiL and vehicle testing).

Responsibilities

• Drive technical development of system functions with hardware, software, testing teams, suppliers, and customers
• Define and align technical requirements, functional scope, and subsystem/supplier specifications
• Develop system-level architecture and system requirements
• Create functional and technical safety concepts (FSC/TSC) for inverter systems
• Ensure solutions comply with functional safety requirements per ISO 26262
• Support preparation of HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) and vehicle tests; validate safety mechanisms
• Perform technical analyses, FMEA, design reviews, and client presentations
• Coordinate system engineering activities across the full V-cycle
• Collaborate with SW/HW/Testing teams on implementation and verification
• Contribute to improving system engineering processes, methods, and tools
• Share knowledge and mentor less experienced engineers

Requirements

• Technical higher education (electronics, mechatronics, computer science or related)
• At least 5 years of system engineering experience in automotive
• At least 3 years of Functional Safety experience according to ISO 26262
• Very good knowledge of system engineering processes across the full product lifecycle
• Experience analyzing, defining, and managing system requirements
• Knowledge of electronic architectures for sensors and actuators
• Experience with power electronics, especially inverters for electric motor drives
• Knowledge of AURIX microcontrollers and functional safety documentation
• Knowledge of embedded systems (hardware and/or software)
• Knowledge of functional safety analysis tools (e.g., Medini) and MATLAB/Simulink
• Ability to model systems using SysML
• Very good English

Benefits

• Long-term employment
• Technical trainings, certifications, and qualification growth
• Mentoring Competence Center community and opportunities to participate in conferences
• Clear career path
• Employee benefits package (Multisport, private medical care, life insurance)
• Friendly work atmosphere, integration events, and team-building activities
