The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring that avionics hardware and software meet the highest standards of functional safety, reliability, and certification in accordance with global aerospace standards.
Key Responsibilities
System Safety Engineering
- Lead and perform Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Common Cause Analysis (CCA) in accordance with ARP4761.
- Develop, maintain, and manage system safety requirements and safety cases aligned with ARP4754A.
- Allocate safety requirements across hardware and software while ensuring end-to-end traceability throughout the development lifecycle.
- Support the derivation and verification of safety-critical requirements.
- Utilize system safety analysis tools such as ANSYS Medini Analyze or equivalent platforms for safety and reliability modelling.
Reliability Engineering
- Perform reliability predictions, modelling, and quantitative analyses, including MTBF, failure rates, and system availability.
- Identify potential failure mechanisms and recommend design improvements to enhance product reliability.
- Support Design-for-Reliability (DfR) initiatives throughout product development.
- Ensure compliance with aerospace reliability standards and regulatory expectations.
Certification & Compliance
- Support certification activities with aviation authorities such as FAA and EASA.
- Prepare Safety Assessment Reports (SAR), compliance matrices, certification evidence, and technical documentation.
- Ensure compliance with aerospace standards including:
- ARP4754A
- ARP4761
- DO-178C
- DO-254
- Participate in certification reviews, technical audits, and design assurance activities.
Cross-functional Collaboration
- Work closely with system engineering, software, hardware, verification, and certification teams to integrate safety throughout the product lifecycle.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.
- Collaborate with project managers and stakeholders to ensure safety and certification milestones are achieved.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 8–12 years of experience in safety and reliability engineering for avionics, aerospace, or other safety-critical systems.
