Safety System Function Responsible (SFR) - Radar Systems (f/m/div.)

Your tasks

As a System Function Responsible (SFR) for Safety, you will take ownership of safety-relevant system function topics within our automotive radar platform, acting as a key interface between system engineering, software platform teams, hardware/SoC experts and functional safety stakeholders. This role combines technical depth with coordination responsibility and will contribute to long-term development work for future Bosch radar generations.

Your contribution to something big:

• Take responsibility for safety-related system function topics within Bosch radar platforms, with a strong focus on SoC, hardware/software interaction and sensor availability.
• Understand and assess safety concepts for So Cs, including SoC management, monitoring, reset behavior, boot behavior and safety mechanism relevance for radar use cases.
• Act as a technical counterpart for hardware/software safety topics, supporting the clarification of whether observed behavior represents a functional safety issue or an expected system limitation.
• Coordinate safety-related development activities triggered by hardware or SoC changes, such as new radar processing platform variants, updated PHY/interface configurations or customer-specific hardware enablement.
• Contribute to Technical Safety Concept discussions by translating system and hardware constraints into clear software and platform requirements.
• Evaluate the need, applicability and impact of safety mechanisms in the radar context, including cases where mechanisms may need to be adapted, removed or justified as not required for a specific use case.
• Drive alignment with software platform teams and relevant stakeholders to ensure safety requirements, assumptions and constraints are understood, tracked and implemented consistently.
• Support requirements engineering, impact analysis, change management and risk assessment for safety-relevant system function topics throughout the development lifecycle.
• Provide transparency on status, dependencies, risks and mitigation actions, ensuring proactive communication across engineering teams and stakeholders.
