About the speaker

Ivano Shivananda Troja is Director of Safety & Automotive Center of Expertise in the Central R&D of the Digital ICs and RF Product Group of STMicroelectronics. Shiva joined ST in 2005 working in the definition and implementation of the Software Design processes and Software Quality activities for the software parts of automotive digital products. Subsequently, He focused on the HW parts and from 2016 he was responsible of the central R&D Functional Safety function covering all automotive digital products. He was member of Semiconductor Working sub-Group of ISO technical committee (TC22 SC32 WG8) on Functional Safety as Italian National Delegate for the definition of ISO26262:2018 Part 11, “Guidelines on application of ISO 26262 to semiconductors”.
From 2021 he also covers the Automotive Cybersecurity Management System according to ISO/SAE 21434. Previously to ST he worked in Magneti Marelli as Software Quality Manager and as Software Designer in various software companies. Shiva Troja was born in Catania, Italy, in 1972. He graduated cum laude in Computer Engineering from the University of Catania.

Abstract

ISO 26262 is the functional safety standard for the automotive domain. It covers the functional safety lifecycle and products targets for all the stakeholders involved in vehicle safety development. The standard is ‘goal-oriented’ and requires a dedicated tailoring to the specific domain of the supply chain (car maker, tier 1, tier 2, etc.). In this section we will see the challenges to be considered during the tailoring of the automotive functional safety standard for a semiconductor company and how STMicroelectronics addressed these challenges.
