Safety Critical Coding Standards

Safety-critical coding standards are guidelines and rules that are established to ensure the reliability, safety, and security of software in systems where failure could result in catastrophic consequences. These standards are particularly important in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and industrial control systems, where the impact of software failure can pose serious risks to human life or property.

Several safety-critical coding standards have been developed to address the unique challenges of these industries. Some of the most widely recognized standards include:

• MISRA C: Developed by MISRA (Motor Industry Software Reliability Association), MISRA C is a set of software development guidelines for the C programming language. It is commonly used in the automotive industry but is also applied in other safety-critical domains.
• ISO 26262: This standard addresses the functional safety of electrical and/or electronic systems within road vehicles. It provides a framework for risk assessment and risk management throughout the automotive development process.
• DO-178C: Also known as Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification, DO-178C is a standard for the certification of software used in airborne systems. It is particularly relevant in the aviation industry.
• IEC 61508: This standard is a general framework for the functional safety of electrical and electronic systems across various industries. It provides guidelines for the entire product life cycle.
• IEC 62304: Specifically addressing medical device software, IEC 62304 provides requirements for the life cycle of medical software and software within medical devices.
• EN 50128: This standard applies to the development of software for railway control and protection systems. It outlines the processes, activities, and tasks necessary to achieve functional safety.
• CERT C Coding Standard: Developed by the CERT Division of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University, this standard provides guidelines for secure coding practices in the C programming language.

ASSETS

With my very diverse background and experiences, I feel that I would be a great asset to your company.  The development of user interface applications, firmware, and embedded process has enabled me to acquire many different types of skills.  Most of the PC applications and some of the embedded applications required security such as user authentication and authorization checks.  Software licensing protection was a big concern, so keys or dongles were implemented.  Complete life cycle development was implemented on most projects.

PERSONAL GROWTH

I am continuously reading books on leadership and personal growth so that I may help others rise to their potential. I believe a leader can only raise people to that leader’s level of personal growth.
