Jody and his team have been instrumental for the safety of our organization. Their training programs, led by certified experts, equipped our team with crucial skills in functional safety. Simultaneously, their consulting services provided us with practical guidance to implement safety measures effectively. They not only helped us move forward towards compliance, but they also enhanced the safety and reliability of our systems.
During my time with Jody, it became abundantly clear that he lives and breathes his passion for safety. In addition to a wealth of knowledge and experience in established best practices, Jody presented an open mind to creating a safety case for a technology which was just laying its safety foundations.
I attended one of Jody's IS026262 training sessions, where he demonstrated a thorough understanding of safety-critical systems, a meticulous approach to standards, and a practical perspective that proved particularly valuable.
I have had the great fortune of contracting Jody Nelson for Functional Safety services multiple times over the past 12 years. He is the most experienced and most knowledgeable Functional Safety expert I have ever worked with. He has vast experience in many different product technologies, including significant autonomy experience, so he is a very technical safety expert in terms of architecture, safety analysis, requirements and verification. Additionally his experience spans the entire safety lifecycle and includes significant experience in safety reviews. He is the best in the business and the first person I call when seeking safety expertise.
Our company has utilized Jody’s expertise in functional safety for both organization competency development through formal training, and technical support for safety-critical product development. Jody’s professionalism and depth of expertise in embedded safety-critical systems and homologation have helped our company successfully deliver safety critical products to international and domestic end customers.
Truly appreciate - and can only recommend - the expertise of Jody Nelson that he has provided over the past decade. Thanks to Jody, we were able to implement ISO 26262 in our organization. It was great to have Jody on our side when we established the required processes and built the safety culture on top.

As of October 17, 2024, the ISO/PAS 8800 standard went under publication. Generally, it takes 7 weeks from this time for the standard to be released.
“Show me the requirements!” is a ubiquitous refrain in systems, safety, and security engineering. Requirements are the basic foundation of most rigorous development standards like ISO 26262. Requirements can be an invaluable tool for communicating intent and guiding the development process. Why, then, are requirements often so difficult, seen as a challenge, and, in some cases, not used when they are created? One possibility is that documents are written that contain statements which are called “requirements” but are not really requirements, or are confusing, so the message is lost.
We’re here to provide the guidance and support you need to navigate the complexities of engineering with responsibility and safety at the forefront.
