Functional Safety Engineer

What You Will Do

Safety Analysis & Design

• Lead hazard identification and risk assessment activities (HARA, HAZOP, FMEA/FMEDA) for new

and existing products

• Define safety requirements and safety integrity levels (SIL/PLr) in accordance with ISO 13849


• Design and verify safety functions, including safety-related control systems and protective

measures

• Review and approve safety-critical hardware and software designs; conduct safety architecture

reviews

Standards & Regulatory Compliance

• Ensure products comply with ISO 13849, ISO 19014, Machinery Directive/Regulation, and other

applicable standards

• Prepare and maintain the safety case and technical file, including all required evidence for

conformity assessment and CE marking

• Liaise with Notified Bodies and external safety assessors throughout the certification process


• Monitor evolving safety standards and regulatory requirements; assess impact on existing and

future products

Safety Processes & Tooling

• Define and embed functional safety processes within the product development lifecycle (V-model, agile safety workflows)


• Use safety analysis tooling (e.g. SISTEMA, SafexI, or equivalent) and PLC/safety controller

environments such as CODESYS or equivalent IEC 61131-3 platforms

• Establish and maintain functional safety plans, verification and validation plans, and associated

records

• Support or lead functional safety audits, both internal and external

Collaboration & Mentoring

• Collaborate with hardware, software, systems, and product teams to integrate safety requirements throughout the design process


• Mentor engineers on functional safety principles and best practices; facilitate safety workshops and training


• Produce clear, high-quality deliverables: safety reports, analysis results, verification records, and certification documentation


• Engage with customers, suppliers, and regulators on safety-related matters as required

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of functional safety engineering experience in an industrial, robotics, or automation

environment

• Deep knowledge of ISO 13849; proven experience applying safety standards through full product

development cycles

• Hands-on experience with hazard analysis techniques: HARA, HAZOP, FMEA/FMEDA


• Experience preparing technical documentation and safety cases for Notified Body review and CE

marking

• Familiarity with IEC 61131-3 safety PLC environments (CODESYS or equivalent: Siemens TIA

Portal, Studio 5000, etc.)

• Strong understanding of the Machinery Directive/Regulation and its practical application to product design


• Experience working within structured development lifecycles (V-model or equivalent) with safety

processes embedded

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to present safety arguments to technical

and non-technical audiences

Nice To Have

• Relevant functional safety certifications: TÜV Functional Safety Engineer, IEC 62061 or ISO 13849

specialist, or equivalent

• Experience with cybersecurity-safety interaction and combined security/safety risk assessments


• Familiarity with IEC 61508 as the parent standard underpinning sector-specific functional safety

norms

• Experience in safety-critical development across any of the following domains:

○ Autonomous robotics and mobile robotic platforms
○ Advanced perception-based or visual safety solutions
○ Heavy earthmoving equipment or related sectors like agricultural automation

• Experience using model-based design or formal methods for safety-critical system development
