A new central compute platform runs safety-relevant functions and infotainment on one high-performance processor, separated by a type-1 hypervisor, with a safety microcontroller supervising it. The silicon vendors' safety manuals had to become requirements the platform teams could build and verify.

• Platform software safety requirements and architecture, handed to the implementation teams
• Hardware monitor requirements derived from the silicon vendors' safety manuals
• Health supervision and safe-state reactions between the main processor and the safety microcontroller
• Safety-relevant camera and display paths
• Software FMEA of the supervision and reaction chain

A supplier developing brake-by-wire and steer-by-wire systems for heavy vehicles needed concept baselines it could take through gate reviews, then an electronic system design ready for A-sample, delivered as fixed-price work packages alongside its own engineering and a partner engineering firm.

• Concept architecture: context, functional, logical and physical views, with trade studies on topology and redundancy
• Functional safety management plans, item definitions, HARAs, safety goals and functional safety concepts
• Review and approval support for technical safety concepts, with TSR and safety-mechanism allocation
• Electronic system design, platform-independent BSW architecture and requirements, and the hardware-software interface
• Design work authored in SST, with element-level versions and traceability across system, BSW and HSI

The automaker's systems engineering and design workflow had grown around its tools instead of its engineers. We redesigned it.

• Design boundaries for software systems, so each team knows what it owns
• Gold-standard requirement and test artifacts as the reference for every team
• Tool automation for continuous integration across SysML, DOORS Next and MathWorks tooling

Design leadership for the software platform behind an adaptive lighting feature, and its functional safety architecture.

• Software platform to support ADAS lighting features
• Functional safety architecture for adaptive lighting, including interfaces to object detection and tracking

Turnkey development of a major aftertreatment subsystem, from requirements definition through implementation and verification.

• Requirements definition, implementation and verification
• A development process satisfying ASPICE, functional safety and OBD at once
• Design, build and test toolchain setup

A plug-in hybrid heavy-duty vehicle program needed its engineering and program teams aligned on what OBD certification would demand. We ran the workshop.

• Certification requirements and their allocation to the hybrid powertrain
• IUMPR tracking and demonstration planning
• A path from current state to a certification package

Independent review of the hazard analysis and risk assessment for a tractor tire inflation system ahead of its concept gate.

• HARA review: hazards, operating situations and rating rationale
• Safety goals and concept-gate recommendations
