We are seeking an experienced System Safety Engineer to support the planning, development, integration and certification of safety‑critical aircraft and aerospace systems.

The successful candidate will perform and coordinate aircraft‑ and system‑level safety engineering activities throughout the development lifecycle. The engineer will work closely with systems, hardware, software, verification, reliability, airworthiness and certification teams to ensure that safety objectives are correctly identified, allocated, implemented, verified and supported by appropriate certification evidence.

The role requires a strong understanding of safety assessment processes, aircraft and system development, safety‑driven architecture, requirements traceability and certification‑oriented engineering.

• Plan, develop, maintain, and review system safety assessments in accordance with the applicable certification basis, customer processes and industry guidance.
• Perform or support aircraft‑level and system‑level Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA).
• Develop and maintain Preliminary System Safety Assessments (PSSA) and System Safety Assessments (SSA).
• Perform qualitative and quantitative safety analyses, including Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Common Mode Analysis (CMA), Particular Risk Analysis (PRA) and Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA).
• Support the identification, classification, and documentation of functional failure conditions and associated safety objectives.
• Derive and allocate safety requirements to systems, subsystems, hardware and software.
• Evaluate proposed architectures against safety objectives, independence requirements, failure‑containment strategies, and single‑failure considerations.
• Provide safety‑driven recommendations concerning architecture, redundancy, monitoring, fault detection, fault accommodation, and mitigation.
• Maintain traceability among hazards, failure conditions, safety objectives, safety requirements, architecture decisions, and verification evidence.
• Review system requirements, architecture descriptions, interface data, design documentation, verification plans, and test evidence from a system‑safety perspective.
• Identify and manage safety assumptions, dependencies, limitations, open items, and certification risks.
• Coordinate safety activities with systems engineering, software, airborne electronic hardware, reliability, test, airworthiness and certification stakeholders.
• Support technical and certification reviews, including SRR, PDR, CDR and certification authority reviews, as applicable.
• Prepare clear, review‑ready safety lifecycle documentation, compliance evidence, technical presentations and customer…
