Ingenieur Funktionale Sicherheit - Brennstoffzellensysteme

About EH Group Engineering
EHG is developing cutting-edge fuel cell technology for heavy duty mobility and large-scale stationary power applications. Our uniquely redesigned product is a significantly more compact fuel cell with high power density and lower costs of production. Faced with the challenges of climate change and the transition to a decentralised energy system, EHG seeks to provide high performance and cost-effective fuel cell solutions to our clients and partners.
To help achieve our vision of a decarbonised future we are seeking a Functional Safety Engineer to embed safety into our fuel cell systems, leading hazard analysis and safety engineering across hardware, software and controls to ensure our products are safe, compliant and certifiable.
This role requires full-time, on-site presence at our Nyon, Switzerland office. We're not able to offer remote or hybrid arrangements, so candidates should be prepared to relocate.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the functional safety lifecycle for fuel cell systems from concept to release
Lead hazard and risk analyses (HARA, HAZOP, FMEA/FMEDA, FTA) and define safety goals
Derive safety requirements and concepts and allocate them across hardware, software and controls
Define/verify safety mechanisms, diagnostics and safe states with the controls and embedded teams
Perform safety analyses and calculations (SIL/PL/ASIL determination, metrics, PFH/PFD)
Compile safety cases, safety plans and supporting documentation for certification
Interface with notified bodies, certification authorities and customers on safety topics
Promote a strong safety culture and coach teams on functional safety practices
Skills and Experience Required:
BSc/MSc in electrical, electronic, mechatronic, control or safety engineering is mandatory
Minimum 3-5 years of functional safety experience in industrial, energy or hydrogen systems
Working knowledge of safety standards (ex. IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 26262 and/or IEC 62061)
Hands-on experience with HARA, FMEA/FMEDA, FTA and safety requirements engineering
Understanding of safety-related hardware, embedded software and control architectures
Familiarity with hydrogen, high-voltage or pressure system safety is a strong plus
Team player able to work autonomously with internal and external experts
Excellent spoken and written English is mandatory; French/German is a plus
Functional safety certification (e.g. TÜV FSEng) is a plus
