  • Proven ability to conduct HARA, derive ASIL levels, and author FSR/TSR
  • Proven ability to translate high-level needs into structured, testable requirements
  • Solid understanding of system architecture, interfaces, and dependencies across hardware and software domains
  • Familiarity with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Polarion, Jama, Flow Engineering)

  • Familiarity with ASPICE processes and assessments
  • Experience with MBSE approaches and tools (e.g. SysML, Cameo)
