We are seeking an experienced Safety Architect to lead the definition, analysis, and implementation of hardware and software safety countermeasures for next?generation microcontroller products targeting automotive, industrial, and humanoid robotics applications.
The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in functional safety standards, safety architecture, and safety mechanisms across the full product lifecycle, from concept through validation and product qualification.
This role interfaces closely with architecture, design, verification, software, product engineering, system safety, and marketing teams to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards and to help enable safety goals at product and system levels.
Key Responsibilities
Define safety concepts and safety architectures for microcontroller products.
Derive and document HW/SW safety requirements from top?level safety goals and use cases.
Identify and specify safety mechanisms for:
CPU, memories, interconnects, peripherals, clocks, reset, voltage, and temperature monitoring
diagnostics, redundancy, error detection, error containment, and fault reaction
Perform or support safety analysis, including:
FM/EA
FMEDA
FTA
DFA
Develop and maintain safety?related architectural documentation.
Collaborate with RTL, analog, firmware, validation, and software teams to ensure safety requirements are correctly implemented and verified.
Define safety validation strategy and support evidence generation for safety case and qualification activities.
Review product architecture against applicable standards and customer safety requirements.
Support safety claims, metrics, and compliance arguments for internal and external audits.
Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and cross?functional safety assessments.
Contribute to reusable safety IP, checker libraries, and architectural safety guidelines.
Required Qualifications
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related field.
Strong experience in functional safety architecture for microcontrollers, SoCs, embedded systems, or robotic control platforms.
Solid knowledge of hardware and software safety mechanisms and their trade?offs.
Hands?on experience with safety standards such as:
ISO ***** for automotive
IEC ***** for industrial systems
Awareness of robotics safety principles and standards relevant to humanoid systems and collaborative/autonomous robots
Experience in safety analysis methods:
FMEA/FMEDA
FTA
DFA
Understanding of microcontroller subsystems such as:
CPU and lockstep concepts
Memory protection and ECC/parity
Watchdogs
Clock/reset supervision
Self?test mechanisms
Safety monitors and error signalling
Ability to translate system?level safety requirements into actionable architectural requirements for implementation teams.
Strong documentation and communication skills, with proven ability to work across hardware and software disciplines.
Key Competencies
Systems thinking and architectural rigor.
Strong analytical and risk?assessment mindset.
Ability to balance safety, performance, cost, and time?to?market.
Cross?functional leadership and stakeholder alignment.
Clear technical writing and presentation skills.
Ownership, pragmatism, and attention to detail.
Typical Deliverables
Safety architecture specification.
HW/SW/System safety mechanism definition.
Safety requirements documents.
Safety concept.
Verification and validation strategy for safety features.
Design review findings and mitigation recommendations.
What We Offer
Opportunity to shape the safety architecture of next?generation safety critical automotive and industrial microcontrollers.
Work in a high?impact role at the intersection of architecture, design, verification, technology, engineering and customers.
A multicultural, collaborative environment with strong focus on innovation and quality.
ST is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
xysqume We are an equal?opportunity employer and do not tolerate discrimination.
