Responsibilities

As a Project Safety Engineer you conduct safety engineering activities and produce the required artefacts on time budget and quality for the allocated project / product.

This includes:

• Conducting a range of activities that identify and address safety hazards and risks by ensuring compliance to legislations safety policies and the Thales Solution Safety Management System
• Developing and maintaining safety key artefacts: system safety program plans safety case reports hazard logs risk assessments preliminary system safety assessments and system safety assessments commensurate with the processes standards and best practices employed by air traffic management domain including fault tree analysis and GSN
• Work closely with the engineering integrated product teams to identify derive and manage safety requirements ensure that they are included in the solution design baseline and that their compliance is demonstrated through verification & validation and developing effective mitigations and controls to hazards procedure and/or training
• Provide timely safety subject matter expertise and engineering support. This includes participating and/or chairing system safety working groups safety review boards and other safety committees and workshops as required
• Apply Model Based System Engineering tools and modelling methodologies to define system safety functions and requirements as well as managing safety data
• Escalate risks when necessary provide clear reporting and recommendations
• Work in accordance with Thales processes and practices and contribute to their improvement
• You will also improve the Safety culture within AMS in Singapore by developing sharing and/or improving safety training material delivering training as required and pro-active behaviour.
