• Risk Assessment: Conduct in-depth hazard analysis, including Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to identify and mitigate safety risks.

• Safety Requirements Definition: Define safety requirements for complex systems and ensure these are integrated throughout the engineering process, from concept through to final system delivery.

• System Safety Program Planning: Lead the creation of System Safety Program Plans (SSPPs) and manage safety reviews to track the implementation of safety controls and compliance.

• Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including systems engineers, project managers, and external stakeholders, to ensure that all safety requirements are incorporated into the system design and operational processes.

• Compliance & Certification: Support the certification and approval processes for safety-critical systems, ensuring that all safety assessments meet necessary regulatory standards.

• Incident Investigation & Reporting: In the event of system failures or safety incidents, lead investigations, analyse root causes, and recommend corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Key Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Systems Safety, or a related field.

• Proven experience as a Systems Safety Engineer, ideally within industries such as aerospace, defense, or automotive.

• Strong knowledge of safety standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, MIL-STD-882E, ARP 4761, and DO-178.

• Experience in conducting FMEA, HAZOP, FTA, and other risk assessment techniques.

• Solid understanding of safety lifecycle processes, including hazard analysis, risk mitigation, and safety verification.

• Experience in preparing and reviewing System Safety Program Plans (SSPP).

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex safety data into actionable safety measures.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear safety reports and communicate with stakeholders at all levels.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certification in Systems Safety Engineering, such as Certified Systems Safety Professional (CSSP).

• Experience working with safety-critical systems in high-regulation industries (e.g., defense, aerospace).

• Knowledge of safety certification processes for both commercial and military applications.

• Familiarity with risk-based decision-making tools and techniques.
