Electrical Power Systems Safety Engineer

I'm supporting a leading aerospace and defence engineering organisation with the growth of a specialist safety and reliability team developing next-generation electrical power systems for future airborne platforms.

This is a highly technical role focused on ensuring complex electrical power generation and distribution systems meet demanding safety and reliability requirements throughout the product lifecycle.

You'll be involved in:

  • Performing system safety assessments on complex electrical power systems
  • Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA/FMECA
  • Identifying hazards and failure conditions and driving mitigations into the design
  • Carrying out common cause and reliability assessments
  • Defining and flowing down functional safety requirements
  • Using deterministic and probabilistic techniques to assess system risk
  • Working closely with electrical, systems and design engineering teams
  • Supporting compliance against aerospace and defence safety standards

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
