EE Times interviewed Mariani by email. He told us, “Among the multiple offers received, I selected Nvidia for its strong commitment on safety and recognized presence in safety critical automotive and embedded markets.”Mariani worked at Intel for three years, since the chip giant's acquisition of Yogitech in 2016.
He noted “the well-defined and established safety process and culture” already established at Nvidia. Asked about his mandate, he said, “I will drive safety alignment across business units (Auto, Robotics, IoT, etc.), developing cohesive safety strategies and cross segment safety processes, architecture, and products allowing work to be leveraged across our hardware and software platforms.”
He added, “I will also support the existing team in evangelizing key safety elements, both internally and externally, with customers, partners, regulatory agencies, government, etc.”
