Job Description:
Job Description:
* Are you a Systems Engineer looking to broaden your experience of the engineering lifecycle?
* Are you looking to diversify your skills across different products?
* Can you effortlessly switch between looking at the Big Picture and diving down into the details?
Then this is the role for you
At Leonardo we develop a range of advanced, complex Radar and Electro-Optic sensing products. In addition to meeting our customers’ requirements, we need to ensure our products are safe and comply with regulatory standards.
Safety permeates the entire system. We are looking for Systems Engineers to collaborate with our subject matter experts to engrain safety requirements into the design of our increasingly complex systems.
This role would suit a Systems Engineer who:
* Is comfortable working across the whole system and able to quickly develop an understanding of complex interactions and dependencies
* Is eager to understand the impact of new technologies on safety design
* Is motivated to work closely with multi-disciplined teams to get down into the detail
* Has a high attention to detail and the confidence and drive to challenge others
Depending on experience, there is an opportunity to work across a number of different products, at different stages of the engineering lifecycle.
Day to day, you will be conducting safety assessments of Radar and Advanced Targeting systems, working closely with other engineers in a variety of disciplines. You will:
* Use safety analysis skills across the full system lifecycle: from requirements analysis (including bids and contracting); through design, development; to system integration, acceptance testing and delivery
* Identify hazards and investigate them using functional failure analysis and other techniques, identifying the necessary mitigations to reduce safety risks, and taking part in design trade-offs to implement them
* Evidence your decisions using the data available to you, through fault tree analysis, scenario analysis, and various other techniques
* Present the outcomes of safety analysis
* Take part in incident or observation analysis as required
* Work closely with many different engineering disciplines, customers, partners and suppliers to solve complex problems
* Contribute to continual improvement of the Company Safety Management System
You really must have:
* Experience of safety analysis in a safety-critical industry on complex systems
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Experience of working with a variety of internal and external stakeholders of varying seniorities
It would be nice, but not essential, if you had the ability to:
* Work across a number of sub-system teams to develop the system solution
* Work with a high degree of design complexity and significant levels of uncertainty
* Knowledge of lasers, radar systems, and/or sensors and defensive aids systems
* Experience working in the defence industry and of defence standards including Def Stan 00-056 and Def Stan 00-970
Experience with any of the following tools
* Cameo Systems Modeler
* DOORS
* Isograph FaultTree+
* An interest in new and emerging safety analysis techniques
* A passion for promoting and improving safety culture
* Involvement in cross-industry safety initiatives, such as via the IET or SCSC
