How it works
Assess. Follow the roadmap. Close the gaps.
- Choose your path. Two ways in: pick the role you hold and get its route in one click, or answer four questions about your experience, your goal and the hours you can spare. No account needed to see the result. If you want the long version, the full 18-category assessment is still there.
- Get your roadmap. The gap analysis turns your answers into a personalized learning plan: which concepts to study, which templates and processes to practice, and which exams to take, in an order that builds.
- Track and re-assess. Progress syncs with what you actually do on the platform. Come back, see what you completed, and re-run the assessment as your role or target changes.
Gap analysis
Your strengths and gaps across the areas of ISO 26262, derived from your answers, so you stop re-studying what you already know.
Concrete recommendations
Every roadmap item links to a specific concept guide, template, process or exam on the platform. No vague "learn more about safety" advice.
Progress that follows you
Guides you finish and exams you pass are reflected in the plan, and you can re-assess any time your role or target changes.
The role map · from the actual assessment
Find your track.
These are the role tracks the assessment recognises, straight from its question inventory. Each one shapes which gaps matter and what the roadmap prioritises.
Engineering
Architecture & requirements
Verification & assurance
Management & process
Specialist frontiers
Across automotive domains
The assessment also captures your domain: ADAS, braking, steering, powertrain, EV and battery systems, and more. The roadmap then uses examples from the systems you actually work on.

Each track lays out the guides, practice and checks for one role, in order. No account needed to read the plan.
Career Path FAQ
Straight answers about the assessment.
How it works, which roles it knows, and what the roadmap tracks.
What is the functional safety career path feature?
It is a personalized career development tool. A structured assessment across 18 question categories captures your role, domain, experience, and goals, identifies knowledge gaps, and generates a tailored learning roadmap that links directly to the concept guides, templates, processes, and exams on the platform.
How does the skill assessment work?
The assessment walks through 18 question categories - your role, automotive domain (ADAS, braking, steering, EV, and more), experience level, and career goals - and evaluates your knowledge across the areas of ISO 26262. Based on your answers it identifies strengths and gaps, then generates a personalized learning plan you can track.
What career roles are supported?
28 functional safety roles, including Systems Engineer, Software Safety Engineer (Embedded/AUTOSAR), Hardware Engineer, System and Software Architect, Requirements Engineer, V&V Specialist, Safety Analyst, Functional Safety Manager, Functional Safety Assessor/Auditor, SOTIF Engineer (ISO 21448), Cybersecurity Engineer, AI Safety Engineer, ADAS Engineer, Tool and Configuration Management Specialists, Consultant, Trainer, and tracks for students entering the field.
Can I track my progress along the roadmap?
Yes. Your roadmap syncs with your activity on the platform: recommendations point at concrete concept guides, templates, processes, and exams, and your progress is stored so you can return to the plan, see what you completed, and re-assess as you grow.
Is this suitable for someone new to functional safety?
Absolutely. The assessment includes tracks for students and engineers entering the field, and the generated roadmap starts from foundational concepts. Experienced professionals get the opposite benefit: the gap analysis skips what you already know and focuses on advanced topics for your target role.
