VLSI Functional Safety Hardware Architect

Envision Employment Solutions is currently looking for a VLSI Functional Safety Hardware Architect for one of our partners, an IT Services and IT Consulting company.

THE ROLE

In automotive silicon, a missed fault isn't a bug report, it's a safety risk. You'll define and build the safety mechanisms inside complex ASICs and SoCs, turning ISO 26262 requirements into RTL that is traceable, verifiable and ready for certification. You'll be the bridge between the functional safety team and the designers who build the chip.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Contribute to SoC architecture definition, subsystem design and RTL microarchitecture
• Design and integrate functional safety mechanisms at RTL and SoC level in line with ISO 26262 and target ASIL levels
• Translate safety requirements into RTL and keep traceability through implementation and verification
• Configure, integrate and customise internal, third party and black box IPs
• Create and maintain IP level documentation covering safety requirements, mechanisms, diagnostics, assumptions and integration constraints
• Support fault analysis, safety reviews and functional safety work products throughout the lifecycle
• Collaborate with safety, verification, design and system teams, and consider SoC to PCB level interactions
