Safety Assessments according to ISO 26262

Diagonal Technologies performs Safety Assessments to help car manufacturers, as well as suppliers of embedded systems, software and semiconductors detect and handle unreasonable risks in their critical systems. On one hand, the detection of findings is made adequate to the Client’s safety culture, through a smart scanning of safety evidences and argument. On the other hand, the handling of findings is made effective through short action plans and – when necessary – through hands-on coaching.​

Here are several examples of products we had the opportunity to assess to help our Client reach the next level:

• Virtualization software system at major Tier 2 of system-on-chip (SOC) chipsets for SAE Level 2 and 3 autonomous vehicle applications
• STL (Software Test Libraries) at major Tier 2 of system-on-chip (SOC) chipsets for SAE Level 2 and 3 autonomous vehicle applications
• Shared electric vehicle platform, battery systems, software and mobility solutions across multiple OEM brands, at OEM-owned Tier1 supplier

Diagonal Technologies is often consulted to provide hands-on coaching to safety assessor teams (2 OEMs, 1 semiconductor company).

Diagonal Technologies builds the most adequate framework to onboard hybrid (internal / external) and multidisciplinary teams, operates this newly created organization for the necessary duration, and transfers this functioning organization once it has reached a sufficient level of effectiveness.

Here are several examples of organizations we had the opportunity to build, operate and transfer:

• Dependability by Design for the digitalisation of interfaces to position sensors for automotive applications at Tier 2 supplier of semiconductor products
• Agile Functional Safety team for (ISO 26262 with LeSS – Large-Scale Scrum) Autopilot Software Development of Autonomous Vehicles at major OEM
• Interim Management for the robust field deployment of LMP battery systems in electric bus fleets, at the interface between the bus OEM and the Tier 1 supplier of Battery Systems
• System Engineering & Product Platform teams for Tier1 supplier of Telematic Systems

Strategic Consulting

Diagonal Technologies is developing objectives-driven engineering strategies and frameworks to allow its Clients transition faster towards the desired future.

Here are several ​examples of engineering and safety organizations we had the opportunity to advise:

• R&D departments involved in the engineering of battery systems, at leading Tier1 supplier of LMP battery systems for passenger vehicles (management audit)
• Safety Engineering & Management departments of Powertrain Safety of Autonomous and Electric Vehicle (AD, EV), at emerging Tier 1 supplier of automotive embedded systems (consulting)
• Central Safety Department for early safety assessment of semiconductor IP prior to its integration into system platform, at major Tier 1 of automotive embedded systems (process review)

​Diagonal Technologies is involved in the development of an online software tool that allows the semiautomatized real-time and seamless monitoring of objectives.

Diagonal Technologies develops specific engineering and safety work products as a single delivery or as an agile, systematic and iterative activity, according to Automotive Spice, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, or any other ISO standard.

Here are several ​examples of engineering and safety organizations we had the opportunity to advise:

• Feature-based development of multiple vehicle domains of Autonomous and Electric Vehicle (AD, EV), at major Tier 1 supplier of automotive embedded systems (domain integrator)
• System Architectural Design & Platform for Tier1 supplier of Telematic Systems
• Safety Engineering work products for Powertrain Safety team of Autonomous and Electric Vehicle (AD, EV), at major Tier 1 supplier of automotive embedded systems (domain integrator)
