Electrical Safety Engineer

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

We're particularly interested in engineers with approximately 5–8 years' experience and a strong background in system safety, reliability or airworthiness.

Experience with ARP4761, CS25.1309, Def Stan 970 or comparable functional safety standards would be highly relevant.

Aerospace or defence experience is preferred, particularly where you've personally delivered FTA, FMEA/FMECA and hazard analysis on complex systems.

Electrical power generation, distribution or power electronics experience would be a strong advantage.
