Summary

In the previous roles, I specialised in functional safety for autonomous driving systems, focusing on both system-level and vehicle-level activities as per ISO 26262 Parts 3 and 4. I led safety initiatives, from defining safety goals and developing concepts at the vehicle level to conducting system-level FMEA and FTA. Collaborating with cross-functional teams and stakeholders, I validated safety architectures and ensured the embedding of safety requirements into designs. Additionally, I provided extensive training and guidance on ISO 26262 principles, contributing to the establishment and maintenance of high safety standards throughout the development lifecycle.
