Company:

Saietta is a well-established British R&D company on a mission to accelerate the market introduction of highly innovative, affordable, and reliable propulsion motors for a broad range of electric vehicles (EVs) from scooters to buses. The product is proven, and market pull is strong. Since 2016 Saietta has undertaken rigorous R&D and testing for an innovative, unique motor topology, with low-cost raw materials, designed for low-cost, automated assembly. Saietta is now evolving from a pure R&D company into one that also manufactures its own motors in a new European production plant.

Overview:

We are looking for a skilled and experienced Systems Engineer to join our team and work on cutting-edge electric vehicle technology. As a Systems Safety Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of their automotive electric vehicle powertrain systems throughout their lifecycle.

NOTE: The role would suit a systems engineer that is keen to develop their functional safety knowledge.

Typically candidates should have a background in systems engineering (design / integration) aligned to safety critical systems. Also good electronics or embedded systems or model based control software knowledge. Any experience with electric vehicle powertrain technologies design / development (EDU, etc) would be fantastic.

Typical involvements:

• Develop and implement safety cases, product requirements and refine product architecture.
• Assist with systems engineering activities (requirements, specifications, validation, etc).
• Conduct systems and safety analysis and to identify potential hazards and recommend risk mitigation strategies (use of tools such as FMEA, FTA, etc).
• Design and implement functional safety features and systems.
• Ensure compliance with relevant functional safety standards and regulations, including ISO 26262
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware and software engineers, product designers, and test / validation specialists.
• Support the development of safety cases and other safety-related documentation.
• Participate in the development of new electric vehicle powertrain systems and features.

Expected skills and experience:

• A degree or similar in Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Computer Science, etc.
• At least 5 years of experience in systems safety engineering, systems design or functional safety engineering within automotive, electric vehicle or other safety critical industries.
• Knowledge of relevant functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262.)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work autonomously.
• A background in systems engineering (design / integration) aligned to safety critical systems.
• Good electronics or embedded systems knowledge (control engineering would be great).
• Able to support integration, validation, and test activities.
• Any experience with electric vehicle powertrain technologies (EDU, etc) would be fantastic.

Beneficial skills and experience:

• Awareness of ISO 21434 cyber security system engineering would be very useful.
• Knowledge of controls software design would be very useful (e.g. use of Matlab / Simulink).
• Experience of automotive electric vehicle powertrain integration would be good.
• Experience with safety analysis tools such as FMEA, FTA, etc.
