• Perform technical analysis and provide results to support the development of the safety concept and documentation of the safety case: hazard and risk assessment, hazard metric translation, define safety goals and criteria, ASIL decomposition, FMEA and FTA analysis
• Consult and collaborate with the software design teams to achieve effective technical solutions and ensure that all safety requirements are robust at the systems level, hardware interface level and software architectural levels
• Analyzes/defines the functional safety requirements within the project based on the customer requirements. Understands/analyzes the requirements from the end user perspective while considering constraints and safety standards as the main objective
• Carries out the design analysis to support the development of safety case arguments for electronic stability controller
• Creates/updates the hazard and risk analyses, safety plan, functional and technical safety concept
• Specifies safety requirements and safety concepts for system/components
• Supports the definition/specification of safety requirements for hardware and software architectures
• Judges if system design/architecture can fulfill requirements, considering hardware-software components, interfaces, functional and environmental dependencies, using basic understanding of computer/vehicle networks, hardware and software design
• Collaborates with the design team in the design of effective technical solutions aimed to achieve adequate robustness at System, HW and SW architectural level in compliance with ISO26262 
• Leads/supports Safety Assessment Reviews held by safety assessor
• Leads/performs safety analysis using standard deductive (FMEA, FMEDA...) and inductive (H&R, FTA) methods, the outcomes of these analyses will informed to the system design/architecture responsible
• Supports the safety verification & validation activities
• Leads/participates customers and suppliers safety review meetings 
• Actively participates in product development, including planning and monitoring of safety plans and their validation testing.
