Join a leading UK Defence Prime delivering some of the most complex and safety-critical engineering programmes in the industry.
We’re looking for an experienced Product Safety Engineer to help ensure the safe delivery of advanced defence systems used in real-world operational environments.
This role is based in Bristol, with a hybrid setup requiring 3 days per week onsite with highly skilled systems, hardware, software, and programme teams.
🧭 What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll play a key role in supporting the safety lifecycle across a range of cutting-edge defence projects, including:
- Developing and maintaining Product Safety Management Plans
- Conducting hazard identification, FMECA, FHA, FTA and other safety analyses
- Producing and reviewing Safety Cases and technical justification
- Working closely with engineering teams to ensure designs meet applicable safety standards
- Supporting compliance activities across the development and verification process
- Engaging with stakeholders, certifiers, and customers on safety matters
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a chance to influence the safety of complex, high-value, mission-critical systems.
🌟 Why This Role Stands Out
- Work for a major UK defence organisation with industry-leading engineering teams
- Hybrid working: 3 days onsite in Bristol, 2 days from home
- Highly varied safety projects across land, air, maritime and autonomous systems
- Long-term career growth, chartership pathways & technical leadership opportunities
- Competitive salary + defence-grade benefits package
