Defence | Systems Safety | UK Clearance Required
Safety-critical systems don't get a second chance. Neither should your career stall on projects that don't matter.
We're looking for a Principal Safety Engineer to take the lead on complex, safety-critical systems across multiple defence platforms - shaping the standards, not just following them.
What You'll Own
- Drive safety analysis that matters: HAZOPs, FTA, FMECA, Functional Failure Analysis - done to Def Stan 00-056 and IEC 61508
- Set the safety requirements that determine whether a system meets the customer's targets, not just the paperwork
- Stand in front of stakeholders - internal and external - and make the case for safety decisions that stick
- Collaborate across disciplines to raise the bar on every output that carries your name
- Represent the function at design reviews, audits, and safety committees
