Functional Safety (ISO 26262) for Component Engineers

ISO 26262 for the component engineer: ASIL decomposition, safety mechanisms at part level, the safety case artifacts suppliers must produce, and the documentation chain from hazard to part drawing.

Seminar Overview

ISO 26262 is usually taught at system level — hazard analysis, ASIL, safety goals — and then the component engineer is handed a spec and told to comply. This seminar teaches 26262 from the component seat: what an ASIL attribute means for a part you design, safety mechanisms at part level (redundancy, monitoring, fail-safe geometry), the supplier artifact set (safety plan excerpt, interface agreements, the component safety case), and the documentation chain from HARA output to part drawing.

The workshop spine: take a real component (a sensor bracket, a connector housing, a battery enclosure part) through the component-level safety analysis — which failure modes are safety-relevant, what mechanisms address them, and what the drawing must say. The supplier-collaboration half covers interface agreements (IAs) with OEM/Tier-1 safety managers and the joint verification activities they imply.

Positioning: E-03/E-06 reference 26262 but never teach it standalone — this course completes Track E for the component engineer the catalog has always served.

Ideal Learner

  • Component design engineers on safety-relevant parts
  • Supplier safety managers and quality engineers
  • Program engineers coordinating safety activities
  • Engineers transitioning into safety-relevant component roles

Learning Objectives

  • Apply ASIL attributes to component-level requirements
  • Design part-level safety mechanisms (redundancy, monitoring, fail-safe geometry)
  • Produce the supplier safety artifact set: plan excerpt, IAs, safety case
  • Trace HARA output to component requirements to drawing notes
  • Run the joint verification activities interface agreements require

Consulting Sessions

Seminar attendees can sign up for individual consulting sessions with the instructor. Sessions are free for registered attendees, first-come first-served — sign up when registering by calling 248-539-0473 or during the seminar.

Seminar Outline
