Job Description
Electrical Power Systems Safety Engineer
Full Time, Hybrid
Location - Bristol, Derby, Solihull
An exciting opportunity for an Electrical Power System Safety Engineer to join a specialist engineering team developing next-generation electrical power and control systems for future aerospace defence programmes.
Our Electrical & Electronics teams are responsible for the design, integration and development of advanced electrical systems that support the operation, control and performance of aerospace products. These teams play a critical role in enabling future technologies and next-generation power systems.
Working within a team of system safety and reliability experts, the Electrical Power System Safety Engineer will ensure that safety and reliability attributes of electrical power generation and distribution systems are understood and that risks are managed to an acceptable level throughout the product life cycle. This is a highly innovative R&D environment where you will directly influence the safety architecture of future airborne platforms.
What you will be doing
- Performing system safety assessments on complex electrical power generation and distribution systems to aerospace standards.
- Identifying hazards and failure conditions, maintaining hazard logs, and driving mitigations through to design implementation.
- Defining functional safety requirements and flowing them down to designers, customers, and suppliers — then verifying compliance throughout development.
- Supporting parts classification and working with design/system teams to ensure reliability targets are met.
- Modelling product degradation and failure mechanisms using deterministic and probabilistic techniques to characterise risk.
What we are looking for
- Degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, aerospace, or equivalent discipline.
- Experience conducting fault tree analysis, FMECAs, common cause assessments, and hazard/failure-condition identification on complex systems
- Working knowledge of ARP4761 (or comparable standards such as ISO 26262) and ideally compliance demonstration to CS25-1309, Def-Stan-970, or equivalent regulations.
- Proficiency with safety/reliability tools (e.g. Reliability Workbench, Block Sim, Lambda Predict) and requirement management tooling.
- Strong foundation in statistics, probability, and reliability prediction — with aerospace or defence domain experience a distinct advantage.
