Competitive Salary and Benefits

This will involve optimising the effort devoted to safety assurance, whilst exploring the boundaries of best practice.



In this role you will need to balance time and cost constraints to ensure that a safety case, comprising appropriate evidence, is constructed.

• Thorough understanding and experience of how the hazard analysis process integrates with the system engineering process to influence the design.


• Ability to deliver supporting information (Safety Case Reports, Hazard Analysis, Functional Failure Analysis, FTA, etc).


• 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.


• Detailed electronic engineering experience is highly desirable.
  
  Experience of other engineering disciplines (design, software, manufacture, etc.) is also desirable.
