Working at Lightyear is a unique experience. You get the opportunity to work for a company with a pure and meaningful mission. A mission that will make a positive and lasting impact on future generations.

What will you do as Functional Safety Engineer?

At Lightyear we have several domains which are basically teams within a particular field of expertise. As a functional safety engineer you’re part of the safety domain in the engineering department. Your work comprises the entire safety lifecycle from concept phase to end of life.

You start your day with a stand-up with your multidisciplinary project team that develops one of the systems of our vehicle. You prepare an instruction for them how to review the HARA. You perform an FTA on one of the safety goals you defined earlier and discuss it with e.g. the system architect and another functional safety engineer.For another system you define tests to verify the safety concepts that you implemented before.

On Friday you support the project manager with defining the functional safety activities that need to be performed in the next sprints, you present the results from this sprint in the sprint review and finish your work week with some drinks together with our great colleagues in the (temporarily online) Friday afternoon drink. Your job will focus on the following aspects:

  • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders (e.g. our engineering & procurement team and suppliers) to ensure that the system you work on is functionally safe and complies with the ISO 26262 series of standards and other relevant standards
  • Compile item definitions including obtaining and combining system architectures
  • Perform hazard analyses, DFMEA, fault tree analysis
  • Derive safety concepts
  • Specify functional & technical safety requirements for system as well hardware and software requirements
  • Define and execute system & integration tests and verification & validation tests
  • Perform safety analysis
  • Coordinate and execute creation of functional safety documentation according ISO26262
  • Conduct reviews to ensure functional safety standards are being met throughout the entire safety life cycle
  • Plan/support/execute functional safety audits of suppliers
  • Create training material and train engineers on application of ISO 26262

What do we expect from a Functional Safety Engineer at Lightyear?

In order to succeed in the dynamic world of Lightyear pro-activity, professionalism, communication and adaptability are crucial. In addition, we are looking for people with an ambitious attitude who learn from the past (tried and tested) and who strive to set new standards when needed. Therefore, you bring along:

  • A Bachelor and/or Master degree in Electrical, Software Engineering or related
  • You have an affinity with functional safety
  • 1-5 years of experience in the field of Functional Safety within a high-tech environment
  • Experience with development in the automotive sector and ISO 26262:2018
  • You are able to identify problems/failures/scenarios that lead to hazards in complex systems
  • You are able to deal with resistance, a true listener and convincing in selling your safety vision internally and to our suppliers
  • You consider yourself a self-starter, a strong communicator with the ability to work with tight deadlines. You’re eager to work in a highly passionate inter-cultural environment and in multidisciplinary teams in a multi-project environment
  • Experience with FMEDA, FTA, FSC, TSC
  • Experience with tools like Matlab/Simulink, Stateflow, Embedded coder, FMEAS and FMEA is considered an advantage
  • Fluent in English is mandatory, Dutch proficiency is considered a plus

On a personal level you are someone who is accurate, influential, communicative, logical, accommodating, persuasive, a perfectionist with a positive and pragmatic attitude. You are a good networker with strong social and communication skills and of course you are cautious in your approach. Do you recognize yourself?

What can you expect from Lightyear?

In addition to a challenging role we also offer:

  • A high degree of freedom and independence in your role
  • A role within a multidisciplinary team consisting of highly motivated, inquisitive and talented people with a broad diversity of experience
  • A role at one of the fastest growing technical companies in the Netherlands with tremendous potential
  • 40 vacation days per year
  • An interesting and balanced pension through Zwitserleven that is in line with the mission of Lightyear
  • The ability to participate via shares and to be involved in the growth and success of Lightyear
  • In addition to a dynamic working environment, there is time for relaxation during our already epic Friday afternoon drinks

At Lightyear we are building an electric car that charges itself. From our experience at Solar Team Eindhoven, we know this is only possible starting from scratch. At Lightyear we bring together a multidisciplinary team of highly motivated engineers, designers, and visionaries to challenge the status quo. Write the story with us!
