The Functional Safety Architect is a member of the systems and functional safety team with a specialisation in functional safety architectures and definitions. This role is instrumental in driving standardisation across the SAP product line, with the objective of accelerating functional safety definitions. The functional safety architect supports, mentors and guides the functional safety managers on individual projects, driving towards common definitions and achieving balance between features and cost. In order to achieve this the functional safety architect must understand the system level functional safety requirements and develop strong relationships with counterparts in MCU and SoC teams. Principal Accountabilities: • Standardisation of FuSa requirement definitions across all PMIC products focusing on achieving safety goals while minimising design area and cost • Review PMIC FuSa definitions vs industry state of the art • Propose and document standard FuSa definitions for PMIC building blocks • Define requirements based on inputs from FuSa standards, customers and systems architects • Work with chip and system architects to propose an implementation architecture • Interface with safety assessors to get pre-approval for standard FuSa blocks • Drive standard FuSa definition for each PMIC block across all products • Create a library of functional safety definitions targeting a family concept with similar "look and feel" • Work with FuSa manager for each project to ensure standardised definitions are being put in place • System level FuSa concept for MCU/SoC systems • Alignment with SoC/MCU FuSa team on requirements and implementation • Understand system requirements and input those requirements to product definitions • Documentation of system level FuSa concept for power • Customer interaction to understand specific customer needs as relating to FuSa • Advisor to design team on to implement safety features • Review proposed implementations vs requirements • Focus on minimal design complexity and area while achieving safety goals • Review simulation and validation results to ensure correct implementation • FuSa tool flow and methodology • Drive SAP towards tool based FuSa workflow and methodology • Investigate AI driven definition and documentation • Mentor and advisor to product level FuSa engineers • Presenting training to customers and internal teams • Travel and customer interaction are necessary Qualifications • BSc/Master's in engineering or equivalent • 10+ years of relevant experience in product definition and functional safety, ideally for PMIC or other power ICs • Proven track record of successful product definitions and product launches • Deep and comprehensive knowledge of safety and compliance standards (ISO 26262, AEC-Q100 etc.) • Strong understanding of system-level power requirements, system level functional safety and board-level integration challenges for MCU, MPU and SoC systems. • Experience with Functional Safety assessment process • Experience using or defining Functional Safety tool flows, using requirements management tools and with Simplis or other modelling tools • High level knowledge of complete Mixed Signal design flow through to mass production. • Leadership in technical reviews and mentorship. • Ability to balance trade-offs between performance, power, area, and cost. • Able to make significant contributions to projects, programs and business initiatives with the ability to propose innovative solutions • Results-oriented and able to deliver on-time under tight schedule • Ability to work both independently and part of a team • Able to communicate with customers and stakeholders at an appropriate level • Available to travel for internal and customer meetings
