Responsibilities
- Leading product safety activities across the full engineering lifecycle, from concept and development through to production and in-service support.
- Developing Product Safety Management Plans and delivering robust safety programmes.
- Facilitating hazard identification and risk analysis activities using recognised techniques such as FMEAFailure Modes and Effects Analysis: a bottom-up method cataloging how components fail and what effects those failures produce. Read more and Fault Tree AnalysisA top-down deductive analysis tracing an undesired top event to combinations of lower-level faults using boolean logic. Read more (FTA).
- Producing high-quality Safety CaseA structured argument, supported by a body of evidence, that a system is acceptably safe for a specific application in a specific environment. Read more reports that demonstrate products are safe for their intended use.
- Working closely with Design, Manufacturing, Systems and Project teams to ensure safety is embedded throughout the engineering process.
- Advising internal stakeholders on safety requirements, risk reduction strategies and regulatory compliance.
- Acting as the technical focal point for product safety within multidisciplinary engineering programmes.
You'll have experience within Product Safety or System Safety in a regulated engineering environment and enjoy solving complex technical challenges.
Requirements
- Aerospace
- Defence
- Space
- Automotive
- Nuclear
- Rail
- Other safety-critical engineering industries
- A degree (or equivalent) in Engineering, Science or a related technical discipline.
- Experience producing Safety Cases and Safety Management Plans.
- Knowledge of hazard identification techniques including FMEA, FTA or similar methodologies.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence multidisciplinary teams.
- Experience working within regulated engineering environments.
Knowledge of defence safety standards such as Def Stan 00-56 would be advantageous but isn't essential.
This is an opportunity to work on highly complex engineering programmes where safety is fundamental to mission success.
You'll join a collaborative engineering team, work across the complete product lifecycle and have the opportunity to develop into a Lead Product Safety Engineer as your career progresses.
