Product Safety Engineer

Responsibilities

• Leading product safety activities across the full engineering lifecycle, from concept and development through to production and in-service support.
• Developing Product Safety Management Plans and delivering robust safety programmes.
• Facilitating hazard identification and risk analysis activities using recognised techniques such as FMEAFailure Modes and Effects Analysis: a bottom-up method cataloging how components fail and what effects those failures produce. Read more and Fault Tree AnalysisA top-down deductive analysis tracing an undesired top event to combinations of lower-level faults using boolean logic. Read more (FTA).
• Producing high-quality Safety CaseA structured argument, supported by a body of evidence, that a system is acceptably safe for a specific application in a specific environment. Read more reports that demonstrate products are safe for their intended use.
• Working closely with Design, Manufacturing, Systems and Project teams to ensure safety is embedded throughout the engineering process.
• Advising internal stakeholders on safety requirements, risk reduction strategies and regulatory compliance.
• Acting as the technical focal point for product safety within multidisciplinary engineering programmes.

You'll have experience within Product Safety or System Safety in a regulated engineering environment and enjoy solving complex technical challenges.

Requirements

• Aerospace
• Defence
• Space
• Automotive
• Nuclear
• Rail
• Other safety-critical engineering industries
• A degree (or equivalent) in Engineering, Science or a related technical discipline.
• Experience producing Safety Cases and Safety Management Plans.
• Knowledge of hazard identification techniques including FMEA, FTA or similar methodologies.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience working within regulated engineering environments.

Knowledge of defence safety standards such as Def Stan 00-56 would be advantageous but isn't essential.

This is an opportunity to work on highly complex engineering programmes where safety is fundamental to mission success.

You'll join a collaborative engineering team, work across the complete product lifecycle and have the opportunity to develop into a Lead Product Safety Engineer as your career progresses.

If you're passionate about engineering, safety and solving technically challenging problems, we'd love to hear from you.
