System Safety Engineer

Role Overview

• Own safety assessment work packages (e.g. FHA/PSSA/SSA analyses), within an aircraft development program.
• Define safety requirements and ensure traceability into system design and verification activities.
• Facilitate hazard identification and fault/failure analysis with engineering teams (structured workshops, evidence capture).
• Maintain safety artefacts under configuration control and manage changes with impact assessments.
• Translate safety findings into concrete engineering actions (requirements, design mitigations, test cases).
• Support verification planning to ensure mitigations are verifiable and evidence is collected.
• Interface with the airworthiness-function to align compliance demonstration and evidence needs.
• Track and close safety activities with clear ownership, status, and evidence.

Requirements

• BSc/MSc in Aerospace/Systems/EE/Mechanical or similar.
• 3-7 years’ experience in system safety engineering (ARP4761) or similar development assurance roles (ARP4754).
• Ability to run structured functional hazard and system safety assessments and produce clear, reviewable outputs.
• Strong traceability discipline: hazards
• safety requirements
• mitigations
• verification evidence.
• Ability to work across teams and challenge designs with credibility and pragmatism.
• Clear writing: concise safety arguments, assumptions, and limitations.
• Comfortable operating with uncertainty; you reduce it systematically.
• Strong configuration control mindset (revision control, baseline definitions, change impact).
