Systems Engineer - Safety - Part Time

at  Leonardo UK Ltd

THE OPPORTUNITY:

• Are you an experienced Systems Safety Engineering looking to apply your skills in a new and complex domain?
• Or are you an experienced Systems Engineer looking to broaden your safety experience of the engineering lifecycle?
• Are you looking to diversify your skills across different products?
• Are you interested in creating safe systems in a complex problem domain?
  Then we want to speak to you!
  We are recruiting for a number of Systems Safety Engineering roles, where you will work on real engineering problems, ensuring our products are safe and comply with regulatory standards, whilst championing a safety culture in our projects.
  Leonardo develop a range of advanced, complex Radar and Electro-Optic sensing products, and safety permeates all of these systems. We are looking for System Safety Engineers to collaborate with our subject matter experts to ensure that safety is an integral component of the design lifecycle of our increasingly complex systems.

This role would suit a Systems Safety Engineer who:

• Is comfortable working across the whole system and able to quickly develop an understanding of complex interactions and dependencies
• Is eager to understand the impact of new technologies on safety design
• Is motivated to work closely with multi-disciplined teams to get down into the detail
• Has a high attention to detail and the confidence and drive to challenge others

Depending on experience, there is an opportunity to manage a safety programme, and/or work across a number of different products, at different stages of the engineering lifecycle.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:

You really must have:

• Experience of safety analysis in a safety-critical industry on complex systems
• Experience across a number of engineering lifecycle phases
• Experience with at least one of: ARP4754A, ARP4761, RTCA DO-254, or DO178C
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience of working with a variety of internal and external stakeholders of varying seniorities
• A passion for promoting and improving safety culture
• An interest in new and emerging technologies and safety analysis techniques

It would be nice, but not essential, if you had:

• A relevant STEM degree
• Experience across a number of sub-system teams to develop the system solution
• Experience with a high degree of design complexity and significant levels of uncertainty
• Knowledge of lasers, radar systems, and/or sensors and defensive aids systems
• Awareness of Information Security
• Involvement in cross-industry safety initiatives, such as via the Institute of Engineering & Technology (IET) or Safety-Critical Systems Club (SCSC)

Experience with any of the following tools:

• Cameo Systems Modeler
• Azure

WHAT YOU’LL DO AS A SYSTEMS SAFETY ENGINEER

Day to day, you will be conducting safety assessments and supporting projects on all safety issues, working closely with project leadership and other engineers in a variety of disciplines. You will:

• Use safety analysis skills across the full system lifecycle: from requirements analysis (including bids and contracting); through design, development; to system integration, acceptance testing, delivery and in-service support
• Identify hazards and investigate these using functional failure analyses and other techniques, identifying the necessary mitigations to reduce safety risks, and taking part in design trade-offs to implement them
• Evidence your decisions using the data available to you, through fault tree analysis, scenario analysis, and various other techniques
• Document and present the outcomes of safety analysis to stakeholders
• Generate safety requirements to meet customer and/or regulatory safety target requirements
• Work closely with many different engineering disciplines, customers, partners and suppliers to help solve complex problems
• Support audits as required
• Promote the specialism and Safety Culture within the project(s)
• Contribute to continual improvement of the Company Product Safety and Environmental Impact Management System
