Learning outcomes

Training goals are to:

• Learn to tailor the necessary activities to support automotive safety lifecycle management, development, production, operation, service and decommissioning with a focus on hardware development including semiconductors
• Understand the integration of ISO 26262 with APQP and IATF 16949
• Understand functional safety aspects of the entire development process (requirements specification, design, implementation, integration, verification, validation and configuration)
• Understand the automotive-specific risk-based approach for determining risk classes Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASILs)
• Use ASILs for specifying the necessary safety requirements for achieving an acceptable residual risk
• Provide requirements for validation and confirmation measures to ensure a sufficient and acceptable level of safety is being achieved

Trainer Profile

Greg Gruska is the Omnex Champion for Functional Safety, and a Fellow of the American Society for Quality (ASQ). He has led multiple ISO 26262 engagements for Omnex for the last several years. His strength in Functional Safety is a strong understanding and experience in systems engineering and reliability/safety analysis in both hardware and software development. Greg has conducted Gap Analyses and assisted organizations to integrate Functional Safety into their development and production processes. Since 2009 he has been working with diverse organizations including those in the semiconductor, braking, powertrain, steering, suspension, passive restraints, lighting, power storage/generation, and autonomous vehicle domains located in North America, Europe and the Far East. Greg has experience designing Functional Safety and SOTIF at the Vehicle level in addition to his OEM experience at General Motors. He is also a reliability expert and can guide hardware teams in conducting Safety Analysis and hardware metrics.

Greg was an active/writing member of the MSA, SPC, FMEA, and EFMEA Manual subcommittees of the American Automotive industry’s Supplier Quality Requirements Task Force which is part of the international task force governing IATF 16949. He is a member of the ISO TAG TC 22 SC 32 WG 8 US – Functional safety. He teaches ISO 26262 Functional Safety Certification, ISO 26262 Functional Safety Assessor and Auditor, and ASPICE Understanding and Auditing courses.
