Career Opportunity and Primary Roles / Responsibilities
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.




Primary Responsibilities
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 deliverables.
Support resolution of safety‑related problem reports, design changes and verification findings.
Contribute to continuous improvement of system‑safety processes, templates, methods and engineering guidance.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in aerospace, electrical, mechanical, systems, software or computer engineering, or another relevant technical discipline.
At least five years of relevant experience in aerospace or another highly regulated safety‑critical development environment.
Demonstrated experience performing or contributing to aerospace system‑safety assessments.
Robust working knowledge of SAE ARP4761 A/ARP4761 safety assessment processes.
Working knowledge of SAE ARP4754 B/ARP4754 A aircraft and system development processes.
Practical experience with several of the following: FHA, PSSA, SSA, FTA, FMEA/FMECA, CMA, PRA and ZSA.
Experience reviewing system architectures and deriving or allocating safety requirements.
Understanding of requirements development, validation, verification and bidirectional traceability.
Ability to interpret complex system designs and iden
