Design Safety Engineer

at  RollsRoyce

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

Design Safety engineers influence design through understanding how failures will affect system operation, and analyse the resulting design, providing feedback on any impact this will have to the safety or reliability of the system and ensuring that the appropriate standards are met. This includes:

• Evaluation of design concepts (potential failures, failure consequences and product-level hazards) and to define hazard mitigation strategies.
• Evaluation of a component design to identify potential failure modes and their resulting failure effects and criticality (e.g. FMECA).
• Identification of critical and significant parts and systems through detailed analysis of product risk level.
• To analyse failures numerically using deterministic and probabilistic mathematical methods.
• Analyse and quantify risks associated with human / system interaction including Human Factors.
• Production of Safety Case reports.
• Operation of a Failure Reporting Analysis & Corrective Action System (FRACAS).

In addition, the following role specific skills are preferred:

• Qualification to degree level in a STEM subject and with experience in a relevant engineering environment (Mechanical, Aeronautical, Electrical or Controls).
• Good holistic approach to problem solving
• Analytical and logical approach.
• Familiarity with the design, operation and environment of gas turbine engines.
• Knowledge / experience of Safety & Reliability engineering techniques
