Senior System & Safety Engineer – eVTOL Electric Propulsion Systems (mfd)

As a Senior System & Safety Engineer you will play a key role in the development and certification of our electric propulsion systems for aviation platforms.

You will be responsible for establishing and driving the Systems Engineering and Safety activities across the complete product lifecycle from early concept and architecture definition through development verification validation and certification.

As one of the first dedicated engineers in this area you will have the opportunity to build and shape the System & Safety Engineering function within the company.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate system-level requirements definition ensuring a consistent and complete set of product requirements.
• Act as a key technical integrator including mechanical design control systems software hardware testing and manufacturing.
• Define and maintain the system architecture and interfaces of the propulsion system.
• Drive system design decisions considering safety performance reliability maintainability testability manufacturability and certification requirements.
• Plan perform and coordinate system safety assessments including activities such as FHA PSSA/SSA FMEA.
• Derive and manage safety requirements and support their allocation to system hardware and software levels.
• Support the definition and justification of Development Assurance Levels (DAL/FDAL) and associated development assurance activities.
• Identify assess and mitigate system-level technical and safety risks throughout the product lifecycle.
• Ensure effective integration of subsystems and components into the overall propulsion system and verify compliance with defined requirements.
• Define and support system verification and validation strategies including integration and qualification testing.
• Work closely with certification and airworthiness functions to provide the required system and safety engineering evidence for certification.
• Manage product requirements interfaces assumptions and changes throughout the development lifecycle.
• Establish and continuously improve Systems Engineering and Safety processes methods and tools within the organization.

Support the future growth of the System & Safety Engineering function and as the organization expands take increasing responsibility for technical leadership mentoring and team development.
