Functional safety

Functional Safety Consulting

We support functional safety programs across the ISO 26262 safety lifecycle for automotive suppliers, manufacturers and safety-relevant embedded products. Hazard analysis, safety goals, functional and technical safety concepts, verification and the safety case are developed alongside the architecture, not after it, producing safety requirements and evidence that shape the design.
