Your tasks

As a Passive Safety Engineer at HOLON, you ensure avoidance or at least mitigation of any harm to passengers, other road users and the vehicle in the case of a crash or collision. By developing and implementing passive safety concepts, you significantly contribute to overall product safety and work cross-functionally on their integration and validation.

Your tasks:
  • You align and select crash scenarios with relevant stakeholders, e.g., using statistical methods
  • You set passive safety goals
  • You design and optimize passive safety concepts for the whole vehicle
  • You ensure that all passive safety concepts and systems fulfill and comply with state of the art as well as relevant laws, standards, and regulations
  • You collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate passive safety concepts and systems into the vehicle's architecture and (overall) design
  • You align and define targets, specifications, and improvements for components and systems contributing to passive safety, in cooperation with responsible owners
  • You support responsible owners, e.g., in design or failure analysis topics
  • You initiate and supervise whole vehicle crash simulations, lead the analysis together with domain experts, and derive adequate passive safety measures and their specifications
  • You specify and align passive safety tests (e.g., crash tests) in cooperation with requirements engineering and whole vehicle testing
  • You evaluate test results to verify implementation and effectiveness of defined measures and concepts and derive improvement strategies together with adequate experts if needed
  • You contribute to Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify potential risks caused by failures of passive safety systems and support mitigation activities
  • You initiate and coordinate discussions about arising target conflicts concerning passive safety objectives, e.g., weight, costs, or performance targets
  • You contribute to the product safety release recommendation by assessing the passive safety status for the whole vehicle and define user restrictions if deviations exist, especially during prototype phases


Your profile
  • Academic degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field or several years of experience in Passive Safety
  • Additional expertise in vehicle safety, structural engineering is a plus
  • Relevant experience in automotive or mechanical engineering with focus on passive safety, passive safety systems, or crashworthiness
  • Expertise in crash simulations and testing
  • Hands-on experience in working with crash-test labs or collaborating with testing facilities
  • General knowledge of relevant laws, standards, and regulations related to passive safety (e.g. UN ECE, FMVSS, Euro NCAP, IIHS, NCAP)
  • Ability to perform and interpret crashworthiness and impact analysis
  • Basic knowledge of structural mechanics and material science, especially as applied to safety-critical vehicle systems


Your Personality
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Strong communication (both written and verbal), documentation, and presentation skills
  • Distinctive hands-on mindset
