About The Position

STELLANTIS Vehicle and Propulsion Controls organization is seeking a Safety
Diagnosability and On-Board Diagnostics Engineer to develop safety and
diagnostic solutions for next generation Powertrain technologies.

The SDO (Safety, Diagnosability and OBD) engineer role involves 3 key
responsibilities :

Development and implementation of diagnostic requirement for Propulsion
System components (Engine, Transmission, Electrified and Hybrid Powertrain,
etc) and ensure compliance with CARB regulations.
Receive high level functional and technical safety requirements from
Propulsion System SDO team , develop Functional and Technical Safety concepts
and architectures to ensure compliance with ISO26262 and support in
implementation of these for each Propulsion System components.
Support AfterSales team with inputs for creation/review of the Diagnostic
Synthesis Table (DST)/Technical Specification Document(TSD) for MAKE/BUY
components.

The above activities are required to be performed for all Propulsion System
components like ECM, TCM, Hybrid and electrified controllers.  The SDO Engineer
reviews the supplier proposed diagnostics for BUY components and ensures
adherence to OBD checklist as defined by OBD Applicative team, reviews DTC and
MiL proposal and discusses with OBD Applicative team for approval and ensures a
compliant diagnostic strategy. The engineer will be responsible for creating
Design Change requests for implementing new diagnostic strategies/improvement to
existing strategies. The SDO engineer will also support the OBD Applicative team
in AECD input reviews for diagnostic compliance and with all the required
information for Regulatory board meetings to obtain necessary CARB approvals.
The engineer is required to ensure traceability of diagnostics to the source
requirements. The SDO engineer also supports in the creation/review of
certification documents. The SDO engineer is also responsible for implementation
of Functional and Technical safety requirements received from the Powertrain SDO
team. The SDO Engineer reviews the component FTA (fault tree analysis),
