Responsibilities.

An opportunity has arisen for an engineer to exploit their safety, reliability and system engineering skills to influence the safety and reliability aspects of technically sophisticated and exciting products. For safety, this will involve optimising the effort devoted to safety assurance, with the goal of balancing safety against the inherently lethal attributes required of complex systems. For reliability, ensuring optimum effort is devoted to progressive reliability assurance, with the goal of ensuring the delivery of a lean but effective reliability programme.

By understanding the system and its operating context, the safety and reliability engineer will decide what type of evidence will most cost-effectively show that the identified hazards or reliability risks have been mitigated to the customer's satisfaction, using a range of techniques and approaches. This role is about balancing time and cost constraints to ensure that a convincing safety case and/or reliability case, comprising of appropriate evidence, is constructed.

Alongside core engineering projects there are opportunities to conduct internally funded research packages.

Experience needed;

Ideally degree qualified or equivalent within an engineering or related subject.
Thorough understanding and experience of how the hazard analysis and safety evaluation processes integrate with the system engineering process
Ability to deliver supporting information (Safety Case Reports, Hazard Analysis, Functional Failure Analysis, FTA, FMECA, reliability prediction, etc).
Fully appreciates that reliability is not just a number, and has experience of reliability planning, analysis and testing during development.
Demonstrable knowledge of, and experience in, the application of UK and International system engineering processes.
Good knowledge of complex electronic systems and the associated safety and reliability issues (but other engineering subject areas, such as design, software, manufacture, etc, will be considered for candidates with the right strengths in other areas).
Track record as an effective teammate with strong interpersonal and influencing skills and the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary / multi-national team.
Analytical and problem solving skills.
Good verbal, written communications analytical and problem solving skills.
