System Engineering & Functional Safety
Good controllers start with clear requirements and a sound architecture. We turn vehicle-level needs into system requirements, define the E/E and network interfaces, and carry safety goals through to technical safety requirements.
Our functional safety team has developed safety concepts and safety architectures for transmission and steering controllers, and supports customers with process setup for ISO 26262 and Automotive SPICE.
