Senior Systems Safety Engineer - Defence Systems

We continually strive to help our workforce achieve their professional and personal goals, engaging them in challenging and inspiring projects.

The Senior Systems Safety Engineers exercise technical knowledge within and across specialist disciplines, and with the ability to work under general direction to apply strategic alignment for the product and its plan. Adherence to governance and standards and interacting with people in cross functional teams to achieve business outcomes with the appropriate levels of integrity, safety, and ethics of these designs is critical to the role.

Specific Functions & Tasks

• Conduct the systems engineering review process for the whole product development lifecycle.

• Support the configuration control of systems for program milestone reviews.

• Develop verification and validation plans and ensure capture of analysis and test results allowing sign-off of requirements.

• Engage key stakeholders and SME's across technical engineering and specialty areas such as Systems Safety / Human Factors / Reliability Availability Maintainability / Electromagnetic Environmental Effects to develop effective solutions.

• Development of systems safety engineering documentation and artefacts.

• Contribute to the development of engineering designs and decisions.

Development and implementation of Engineering

• Self-initiated and managed under limited direction and governance to be responsible for demonstrably leading self to produce designs and products that satisfy defined requirements in the specified time frames and meet group objectives.

• Undertake cohesive best practice designs and analysis and develop efficient work practices to support product development activities and business outcomes.

• Understand and apply the routine use of rigorous development and problem-solving methods to apply safe, secure, and reliable solutions to engineering problems.

• Work collaboratively with engineers across functional teams to solve complex problems as a team and ensure all requirements are identified, captured, and analysed such that the design/product can be developed that satisfies the safety, quality, policy, legislative and design authority requirements.

• Undertake clear and pragmatic tests, evaluation and verification activities on integrated system designs and prototypes (including formal check points) to verify and provide recommendations for sign-off of all design requirements to the lead engineer and Design Authorities based on relevant legislative requirements, standards, and contracts.

Relationship and engagement

• Actively listen, share knowledge and experience, provide guidance, and work collaboratively to support teams across engineering and other relevant internal and external customers to deliver engineering and business outcomes.

• Work with Engineers and Technicians to apply and ensure the best design solutions are delivered to solve production problems and obtain business outcomes under the broad direction of Chief Engineers.

• Interact with EOS Executive, Project Managers, and Project Engineers to ensure design solutions are delivered on time and on budget and meet other project management requirements.

• Communicate insights and provide strong engineering judgement for progress and the advancement of sound engineering solutions.

• Delivery and operation

• Interpret the design and execution of user acceptance testing and other verification activities to provide recommendations to the Chief Engineer and other Design Authorities.

• Support production and review manufacturing and supplier requirements to meet specified timeframes, engineering standards, and business outcomes.

People and skills

• Work and interacts with people in cross functional multidisciplinary teams to solve routine engineering problems and solutions.
