  • Perform and maintain HARA, DFMEA/FMEA, FTA, and safety risk analysis.
  • Identify safety-critical failure modes related to motor, sensors, inverter interface, and control systems.
  • Support definition of Safety Goals, Functional Safety Requirements (FSR), and Technical Safety Requirements (TSR).
  • Identify single-point, residual, and latent fault conditions and define appropriate mitigation strategies.

EV Motor Safety

  • Analyze safety risks related to:
  • Over-temperature and overheating
  • Over-current and over-voltage
  • Overspeed
  • Phase failure/short circuit
  • Resolver/position sensor failure
  • Insulation failure
  • Rotor/shaft and bearing failures
  • Unintended torque generation
  • Support definition of safe-state behavior and fault-handling mechanisms.

  • 4–6 years of experience in functional safety, EV powertrain, electric motors, automotive electronics, or safety-critical product development.
  • Good working knowledge of ISO 26262 and automotive functional safety processes.
  • Hands-on experience with HARA, FMEA/DFMEA, FTA, safety requirements, and fault analysis.
  • Good understanding of EV traction motors such as PMSM/IPM/SPM, motor sensors, inverter interface, and motor control.
  • Knowledge of electrical, thermal, mechanical, and high-voltage safety aspects of EV motors.
  • Experience in safety validation, fault injection, diagnostic testing, and failure analysis.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
