Description

Systems Engineer for ISO 26262, Requirements & Architecture – remote available

You are developing electric or autonomous vehicles and need someone who considers functional safety from the start, not when things go wrong? I support you from concept phase through road approval.

What I do for you:

Safety concepts and analyses (HARA, FMEA, FTA)
System and safety requirements specifications
System architecture design for electric systems in autonomous applications
Requirements management (traceability, reviews, gap analysis)
Establish ISO 26262 processes

My value:

After 7 years as Systems Engineer in automotive projects, I know the complete journey: From initial system architecture through prototyping and integration to type approval and individual vehicle certification.

I identify gaps in concepts early, for engineering, assembly, testing, and certification. This saves you expensive rework later.

My strength: I speak the language of different disciplines (mechanical, electrical, software, safety, legal) and have an integrative effect on interdisciplinary teams.

My specialization:

Small series and special-purpose vehicles (I know the differences between type approval and individual certification)
Pragmatic safety approaches: As much as necessary, not more than reasonable
Retrofitting and prototyping of autonomous or special electric systems

Remote:

I work effectively remote with clear processes, regular communication, and the tools you use. I've worked in international teams across different time zones. Quick project start without long onboarding.

You need support with ISO 26262, requirements engineering, or system architecture?

Let's talk.
