I’d love to learn more about this — can you recommended any resources for building something from the ground up with the relevant safety-critical considerations? Appreciate any pointers

Here’s a decent textbook that covers the software side in aerospace (DO-178):

You can read up on the system safety side in documents like ARP5754 and ARP4761 and hardware side in DO-254.

Someone who spent that much time at CMC would know!

I also love her book.

I learned lots, worked with some great people, and even certified a thing or two!

Late reply, I know, but I would highly recommend skimming through “Embedded Software Development for Safety-Critical Systems” by Chris Hobbs. I think it does a good job at getting people thinking about how they can start adopting a safety mindset for their projects, what techniques are applicable, and what common pitfalls are.
