Join us in helping to design and deliver safe, reliable systems that operate in some of the most complex engineering environments. As a Principal Safety Engineer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our products meet the highest safety and environmental standards throughout their entire lifecycle.
Working within the Company Safety and Environmental Management System, you’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, customers, partners and suppliers to analyse risks, influence design decisions and ensure the safe delivery of innovative systems.
In this role, you will apply your safety analysis expertise across the full system lifecycle — from early requirements definition through design, development, manufacture, integration, acceptance testing, delivery and, when required, disposal.
Key responsibilities include:
- Conducting safety assessments across the lifecycle, from Hazard Identification through to the delivery of project Safety Case Reports.
- Performing detailed safety analyses using techniques such as Functional Failure Analysis, system requirements analysis and Fault Tree Analysis to identify risks and influence design decisions and architecture.
- Developing Safety Requirements and identifying appropriate verification and validation methods.
- Building robust safety arguments supported by evidence to demonstrate compliance and support safety claims.
- Presenting the results of safety analysis to Integrated Project Teams and customers.
- Contributing to the continuous improvement of the Company Safety Management System.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving complex problems and influencing system design through safety expertise. You should have experience analysing complex systems from a safety perspective, with an understanding of system functions, and knowledge and experience in developing Safety Case Reports for complex systems, ideally within an electronics or avionics environment.
The ability to collaborate across multiple subsystem teams, managing design complexity and uncertainty to help develop effective system solutions is essential.
