The Role

As a Senior System Safety Engineer for Braking Systems you willsupportthe safety of GMs braking systems from concept through validation. You will work on safety-critical increasingly distributed brake architectures that mustmeet functional safety requirementsacross all operating environmental and real-world customer usage conditions.

You will serve as a technical authority for system safety translating complex hazards into clear actionable safety requirements aligned with ISO 26262 and internal GM safety policies. You will partner closely withcrossfunctionalengineering teams to embed safety into system architecture hardware software and validation strategies helping ensure GMsSDVplatforms deliver safe robust and reliable performance at scale.

What Youll Do

• Perform hazard analysis and risk assessments forbrake systems and define safety concepts operating modes and mitigation strategies
• Apply functional safety analysis techniques including functional interface analysis fault tree analysis dependent failure analysis software safety analysis and hardware integrity analysis to derive andallocatesafety requirements
• Collaborate with hardware software service release manufacturing and advanced engineering teams to ensure safety requirements are understoodfeasible and properly implemented
• Provideexpert system safety guidance to product engineering teams to supporttimelyresolution of development validation and launch-related safety issues
• Communicate expectations and review safety deliverables withbraking suppliersensuring supplier development processes and evidence are consistent with ISO 26262 and GMs system safety process
• Lead informal and formal peer reviews of safety work productssubmitpeer review ballots and represent braking systems at Safety Peer Review Boards and program safety gates (e.g. DVUL approval milestones)
• Analyze complex field issues assess risk and severity and support containment and resolution strategies for safety-related concerns
• Communicate system safety processes expectations and best practices across the organization to promote consistent execution
• Utilize change management and configuration management tools tomaintaintraceability and integrity of safety requirements across the product lifecycle
• Promote common implementation strategies architectural consistency and complexity reduction without compromising safety or compliance
• Serve as a mentor and resource to junior safety engineers providing coaching and guidance on difficult technical issues

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Science Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering or a related field
• 5 years of relevant post-graduate industry experience in the development ofbrakingsystems chassis controls or safety-critical electromechanical/electrohydraulic systems and componentsor PhD in Engineeringor Physics with relevant research experience
• Strong understanding of system verification and validation processes including requirements traceability and test strategy development
• Familiarity with hardware design principles software interfaces and failure modes at both thecomponentand system levels
• Solid foundation in brakingdomain featuresand vehicle dynamics including base braking ABS electronic stability control (ESC)andelectric park brake (EPB)
• Ability to work independently with minimal guidance exercise discretion and judgment on significant matters and drive cross-team and cross-group efforts to resolution
• Knowledge of serial data communication protocols (e.g. CAN automotive Ethernet) and their application in embedded and distributed control systems
• Willingness to travel between Warren Technical Center and Milford Proving Ground asrequired

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience developing safety concepts and requirementsbraking systems
• Hands-on experience authoring functional safety work products such as System Safety Concepts Safety Case Tailoring Plans FTA FMEA FIA/SEFA and DIAs
• Working knowledge of functional safety and adjacent standards such as ISO 26262 SOTIF (ISO 21448) and relevant braking regulations (e.g. FMVSS 135 FMVSS 127 ECE R13-H)
• Experience defining or assessing hazard metrics functional reliability targets and quantitative hardware integrity (FIT) targets for safety-critical systems
• Experience with brakecontrols or other safety critical automotive software development
• Experience contributing to production-ready safety cases peer review boards and cross-functional safety reviews
