Safety Analyst

JOB SUMMARY:

The Safety Analyst is responsible for performing and ensuring the correctness of Safety analyses for a defined projectas well the support resolution of system design weaknesses’ and influencing product architecture improvements.

POSITION SUMMARY:

The Safety Analyst is responsible for the Safety analyst leading and evaluating the technical risk management assessment (FMEA/FMEDA/FTA/DFA) of the architectures by support of the technical team and operating the tools.The aim is to examine potential product or process failures, to evaluate risk priorities, and to help determine remedial actions to avoid identified problems. These work products are mandatory elements for the safety case according functional safety.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: (Individual tasks, duties, and responsibilities)

Performs FMEA (Sy, Hw and Me)

• Analyzes the system components and the interactions over the interfaces
• Evaluate the signal flows within the system architecture
• Evaluate the static and dynamic behavior of the components with influence on the system
• Checks the safety architecture concerning error reaction and ensures traceability to Technical safety concept and system architecture
• Analyzes the influence of system resources e.g. error reaction within SW compared to the system reaction
• Estimates risks of system failure modes based on the parameters severity, occurrence, detection (RPN)

Performs System (qualitative) and Hw (quantitative) FTA

• Ensures verification of the System Architecture with a Fault Tree Analysis on system level.
• Defines and tracks measures which will lead to an optimization of the Risk Priority Number, e.g. Adapt the System Requirements and System Architecture, e.g. concerning to the signal flow, safety concept, system status, fault management and system resources
• Defines additional tests e.g. in production
• Tracks the implementation of the defined measures
• Performs common reviews for the System FMEA / FTA with the customer and performs continuous updates till design/architecture freeze

Presents and communicates the System FMEA / FTA to the project team to get approval

Performs Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA)

• Defines with support of PFSM, Sy Architect and Sy FO, Hw architect the common failure modes
• Identifies safety barriers to ensure freedom of interference

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS: (Individual tasks, duties, and responsibilities of the position of lesser importance or frequency)

PerformsHw FMEDA

• Defines with support of PFSM, Sy Architect, Sy FO, Hw architect the diagnostic coverage rate of each safety mechanism.
• Computes the failure probability rate (FIT rate) for each function and safety goal.
• Ensures capability to reach failure rate targets (FIT rate) from customer.
• Defines mission profile with customer / project inputs
• Defines reliability database according to customer / project inputs

KPIs:

Team work product quality: Ratio of FSM red/yellow compared to total number

• Traceability of FMEA to system requirements and system architecture
