The Role

By understanding the system and its operating context, the safety and reliability engineer will decide what type of evidence will most cost-effectively show that the identified hazards or reliability risks have been mitigated to the customer's satisfaction, using a range of techniques and approaches. This role is about balancing time and cost constraints to ensure that a convincing safety case and/or reliability case, comprising of appropriate evidence, is constructed.

What are we looking for?

• Thorough understanding and experience of how the hazard analysis and safety evaluation processes integrate with the system engineering process
• Ability to deliver supporting information (Safety Case Reports, Hazard Analysis, Functional Failure Analysis, FTA, FMECA, reliability prediction, etc).
• Fully appreciates that reliability is not just a number, and has experience of reliability planning, analysis and testing during development.
• Demonstrable knowledge of, and experience in, the application of UK and International system engineering processes. 
• Good knowledge of complex electronic systems and the associated safety and reliability issues (but other engineering subject areas, such as design, software, manufacture, etc, will be considered for candidates with the right strengths in other areas).
• Track record as an effective teammate with strong interpersonal and influencing skills and the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary / multi-national team.
• Analytical and problem solving skills.
