Who We Are
About us
We are a family business consisting of a team of functional safety managers and recruitment consultants with more than 20 years of experience in the area of functional safety. We have been successfully cooperating with exclusive partners in the automotive and medical technology industries for many years.
FSS was established with the aim of transferring our extensive experience as qualified computer scientists specializing in functional safety to companies and their (future) functional safety managers by providing training and mentoring packages. Thanks to our experience in the automotive, locomotive, medical technology, and automation sectors, we offer our training participants the best technical, organizational and process application solutions and concepts from every industry.
In response to the high demand from our clients for recommendations or placements of suitable functional safety managers, ideally trained by ourselves, we have added bespoke recruitment to our service portfolio to complement the training we offer. Our recruiting services aim to ensure that your company can avoid functional staff shortages and draw on a pool of suitable candidates right from the time your company starts developing new areas of business. Our recruitment consultants work hand in hand with our functional safety managers, who have the technical competence to serve as sparring partners, to find the candidates that suit you best in terms of character and expertise.
FSS can therefore offer you an attractive all-in-one package in the area of functional safety: We use our expertise to recruit top candidates for you in addition to training and supporting your current employees.
Our philosophy
We foster your employees’ professional skills and enhance your reputation by equipping you with the tools you need to incorporate functional safety as a standard element of your product development and production processes.
Thanks to our own development work, we see ourselves as translators between standard requirements and solutions in day-to-day business. Our goal is to familiarize you so thoroughly with ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 requirements that you will no longer need us after the training has been completed. The short training sessions and long-term mentoring packages we offer will help you develop the expertise needed to conduct internal audits and assessments of functional safety yourself.
Our training is based on actual projects, and each example comes from real-life situations. We offer best practices at many levels and also remain available to answer quick questions after the training is complete. We will gladly share our knowledge with you by email or Skype.
Our vision
Each of our staff placements create a win-win situation for everyone involved. We match top candidates with interesting companies.
Our goal is to bring together people and companies in the software, hardware and functional safety fields who are perfect matches and can benefit from each other. We understand our clients’ requirements and the challenges faced by functional safety managers. We are familiar with both sides and have an extensive network in this sector that enables us to bring both sides together with promising results.
It is extremely important to us that both companies and candidates are optimally prepared for each other. To make sure things get off to a successful start, our recruiting package also includes training for your new employee that will prepare them for their specialized tasks in the new company.
With our expertise, our extensive network in the field of functional safety, and our unique, comprehensive personnel recruitment service, our goal is to be your first choice for recruiting functional safety experts.
