We are seeking a Systems Safety Engineer to support the development, integration and lifecycle management of safety-critical systems. You will be responsible for applying recognised systems safety engineering principles across the full project lifecycle, from concept and requirements definition through design, verification, validation, operation and disposal. Working with multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will help ensure that safety risks are identified, assessed and controlled in accordance with applicable legislation, standards and project requirements.
Your duties will include preparing and maintaining safety plans, safety cases, hazard logs, risk assessments and assurance documentation. You will lead or contribute to hazard identification and analysis activities, including functional hazard assessments, fault tree analysis, failure modes and effects analysis, event tree analysis and common-cause assessments. You will review system architectures, requirements, interfaces and engineering changes to identify potential safety impacts, and provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to technical leads and project stakeholders. The role will also involve supporting safety reviews, audits, investigations and the development of safety-related requirements, controls and verification strategies.
The successful candidate will have experience in systems safety, functional safety, product assurance or a closely related engineering discipline, ideally within a regulated or safety-critical environment. A degree or equivalent qualification in systems engineering, safety engineering, electronics, mechanical engineering or another relevant subject is desirable. You should be familiar with structured risk management techniques and standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, ARP4761, DEF STAN 00-56 or comparable frameworks. Strong analytical, technical writing and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to influence others, manage competing priorities and work collaboratively across engineering and programme teams. Professional registration or membership of a relevant engineering or safety body would be advantageous.
