@anuragbadwal
Functional Safety Specialist focused on ISO 26262/21448, building safety cases and verification for ADAS and autonomous systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a TÜV NORD Certified Functional Safety Specialist committed to “Safety of the Intended Functionality” for ADAS and Autonomous systems. Currently at Valeo, I lead end-to-end Functional Safety for global Stellantis and GM platforms, evolving Safety Cases and Requirement Engineering from concept to production.
I build critical safety artefacts (DIA, Safety Development Plans, Test Strategies), refine Technical Safety Concepts (TSC), and automate FuSa Traceability (SaVR) using DOORS, AutoRTM, and Jenkins to maintain rigorous requirement-to-test mapping across multi-OEM programs. Previously at GKN, I spearheaded Safety V&V with high-fidelity bench and vehicle fault injection testing, delivered full/delta safety reports, and supported critical-path software releases to de-risk 50+ hardware/software deliveries.
