About the Project

Between 2018 and 2023, Carabiner supported an R&D department with 500+ employees at Volvo Cars, contributing to building up and maintaining the much-needed Functional Safety competency. At the time, the actual department was facing a shortage of experienced personnel and a high turnover in key roles, creating a need to quickly build capacity and reinforce critical know how. Volvo sought a partner who could not only support the development but also guide and train internal teams in application of ISO 26262. Carabiner was brought in to provide development support, training, analysis, and much more.

Carabiner’s Contribution

At its peak, the project involved eight Carabiner engineers working across various functional safety related roles within the department. The team contributed to the functional safety compliance for a new electrical architecture. Our responsibility included providing tailored training, technical guidance in application of the ISO 26262, safety management, development of safety work products as well as conducting internal reviews. In addition, the team also supported in-house software teams with software process development and software safety deliverables.
