Functional Safety Architect - Bangalore

About the role

As the Functional Safety Architect for our Physical AI System-on-Chip (SoC), you will own the functional safety architecture of our silicon: defining how our chips detect, contain, and respond to faults so that the systems they drive remain safe. This is a foundational, cross-cutting role spanning silicon, firmware, platform software, and product teams.

What you'll do

• Lead safety analyses—hazard analysis and risk assessment, DFMEA, FMEDA, FTA
• Define safety mechanisms for compute, AI/NPU, memory, and interconnect including error detection and correction, lockstep, BIST, and safe-state handling
• Partner with silicon design, firmware, safety, and platform software teams to embed safety requirements into the RTL, boot flow, and SDK
• Own the safety case and work products across the safety lifecycle, coordinating with assessors and customers to support certification and audits
• Establish functional safety processes, standards, and design practices; mentor engineers and raise the safety-engineering bar across the organization
