Amazon is seeking a Hardware Functional Safety Engineer to define and guide the design of safety-critical hardware and controls for autonomous delivery vehicles. This role will establish the functional safety architecture and requirements across vehicle controls, autonomy compute, sensing, actuation, power, communications, and diagnostics. The preferred candidate will have demonstrated experience developing embedded control systems, performing hardware safety analyses, applying automotive functional safety standards, and working with internal engineering teams and external vehicle, autonomy, and technology partners.
Key job responsibilities
Functional Safety Architecture: Define and guide the design of safety-critical vehicle hardware, embedded controls, and autonomy interfaces.
Hazard and Risk Analysis: Perform hazard assessments and safety analyses across vehicle, autonomy, and supporting systems.
Safety Requirements: Develop safety plans, safety concepts, functional and technical safety requirements, and verification and validation plans.
Hardware Safety Design: Define safety mechanisms, diagnostics, redundancy, degraded operating modes, and safe-state behaviors for safety-critical hardware.
Safety Analysis: Perform qualitative and quantitative analyses, including FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, and dependent failure analysis.
Standards Application: Apply automotive functional safety standards throughout the development lifecycle and guide engineering teams on required processes and work products.
Cross-Company Collaboration: Work with internal teams and external autonomy, vehicle, and technology partners from concept through integration, testing, validation, and deployment.
Verification and Validation: Develop and review functional specifications, design verification plans, test procedures, and safety evidence.
Program Execution: Drive safety issues to closure and ensure systems can be manufactured, deployed, operated, and maintained safely.
Safety Assurance: Ensure systems comply with applicable automotive and autonomous-vehicle safety standards, including ISO 26262, ISO 21448, and UL 4600.
