Santiago Velasco graduated in 2011 with a master's degree in computer science with a focus on software engineering at the TU-Kaiserslautern. Since then he has been working at Fraunhofer IESE in the Safety Engineering department. Since his student days, he has been involved in the implementation of safety modeling tools developed at the institute. He is currently coordinating the development of the safeTbox modeling tool (safetbox.de). Santiago has also participated in several research and industry projects and gained primary experience in the areas of safety analysis and development of safety concepts. He participated in the TÜV Rheinland training on safety critical systems (hardware software design according to IEC 61508).
In today’s rapidly evolving automotive and aerospace industries, ensuring system safety and regulatory compliance is critical. The need for more structured and clearer safety cases is required by existing and upcoming regulation and standards (e.g. AFGBV (German L4 law), EU…
In today’s complex technological landscape, ensuring system safety is paramount. The Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) framework provides a structured approach for identifying and mitigating safety risks in intricate systems. At the forefront of this methodology is safeTbox, an STPA…
safeTbox stands for Safety Toolbox and it aims at supporting the development of E/E/PE embedded systems with safety critical characteristics. The tool offers special support for the automotive domain and its associated standard ISO 26262, although several of the modeling…
