I leveraged my knowledge and experience of Functional Safety to provide safety-critical guidance to an electric self-driving local commerce delivery vehicle that weighs 1,500 pounds (680 kg), over 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, and about half the width of a car. This vehicle is designed to carry only cargo, specifically groceries and currently has the ability to store about 12 grocery bags

The Robotic Combat Vehicle-Light (RCV-L) program is part of the Army Futures Command's Next Generation Combat Vehicle effort. It seeks to provide soldiers in mechanized infantry and armor units with robotic "wingmen" that extend their reach and effectiveness on the battlefield. The Army hopes to have prototypes of the RCV-L as well as a heavier vehicle (the Robotic Combat Vehicle-Medium) . Two of each design will be fielded as "platoons" for testing, with the goal of wide deployment of tank-bots in the near future.

I supported a company with a high level of innovation and applications expertise. This was key in the development of sensing solutions for automotive applications, such as stop-start engine sensors, camshaft and transmission sensors, and high-speed sensors. The broad range of magnetic sensor IC products offer the latest in technological and quality advancements in speed, position, and electrical current sensing. I walked this customer through Part 11 of the standard, developed safety artifacts (FTA, FMEDA, etc.), and established internal processes to help ensure compliance to the standard.
I'm a subject matter expert when it comes to machinery & robotic standards such as ISO 13849, ISO 10218/R15.06, IEC 62061 and many others. I supported clients in achieving safety while still being able to innovate and create the future of robotics. No job is too big nor too small for me to assist with.
With so much discussion around functional safety, there still seems to be a lot left undiscovered and many of the deliverables can be vague & ambiguous. I've successfully perform several I3 confirmation and verification reviews/audits to ensure that the work products have meet the requirements and are compliant to ISO 26262.
When it comes to software, a successful software system safety engineering product is based on an effective system level hazard analysis process that definitively identifies safety-significant software and mishap contributors, a software safety analysis process that adds rigor and robustness for safety significant software, and thorough e
When it comes to software, a successful software system safety engineering product is based on an effective system level hazard analysis process that definitively identifies safety-significant software and mishap contributors, a software safety analysis process that adds rigor and robustness for safety significant software, and thorough execution of safety analysis and verification tasks defined as Level of Rigor (LOR).
With the new edition of ISO 26262, motorcycles are now included in the standard, in Part 12. I was able to leverage my knowledge, experience, and expertise to support a motorcycle OEM with developing a safety-critical architecture for the next generation of motorcycle technology.
I've developed safety-critical work products, such as Item Def, HARA, FSC, TSC, Hardware Safety Req., Software Safety Req., and test case/test plan for Electrified Vehicles. With the EV race and the increase of zero emission requirements, my skillsets have been essential when it comes to developing the future of automotive.
As a passionate and enthusiastic Functional Safety Engineer, I've prided myself on the ability to teach, train, coach , and mentor other engineers. Over the past 10+ years, I've successfully trained over 100+ engineers, helped develop ~15+ internal safety processes, and built a robust portfolio of project to help others learn through doing, instead of just lectures.
