Role details:
Our client, a leading organisation within the Defence and Security sector, are looking for an experienced Safety Engineer to join their team on a contract basis.
The role is to deliver the safety analysis and assurance that will enable one of our clients products to be integrated onto a small range of platforms. This will involve working closely with internal delivery teams, as well as UK and non-UK customers.
The successful candidate will be required to liaise with key stakeholders to help define the safety boundary for the development of safety claims, and take a leading role in the production and evolution of the associated Safety Management Plans / delivery of the required safety analyses. The main emphasis will be on ensuring that the available evidence fulfils the need and, if gaps are identified, defining suitable mitigations.
Experience required:
* Hazard identification exercises (such as SWIFT and HAZOP);
* Hazard management and risk analysis, including functional failure, fault tree and event tree analyses;
* Thorough understanding of how the hazard analysis process integrates with the system engineering process to influence the design.
* Construction of safety arguments and their contribution to ALARP statements and authoring of Safety Cased Reports;
* Provision of support to internal and external project Safety Panels and Committees;
* Liaising with other functions in order to derive safety requirements and hazards, and demonstrate satisfaction of safety requirements;
* Understanding of DEF-STAN 00-056 (and, ideally, other similar international standards), including the ability to define and write Safety Management Plans that meet its requirements;
* Detailed electronic engineering experience is highly desirable (education to degree or HND level or a comparable level of experience is preferred). Experience of other engineering disciplines (especially software) is also desirable.
* IEC 61508/DO178C/DO-254 experience (desirable).
* Good verbal, written communications analytical and problem solving skills.
* Track record as an effective team player with strong interpersonal and influencing skills and the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary / multi-national team.
