TL;DR · System Safety Engineer, Technical Specialist II

The System Safety Engineer - Technical Specialist II joins the engineering team to manage complex safety analysis for aircraft systems and their intersystem dependencies. This role involves modeling system functionality, assigning aircraft functions to supporting systems, and assessing the impact of functional losses or design changes on the aircraft. The engineer performs fault tree analysis using Boolean Algebra, conducts failure mode effect and common cause analyses, and evaluates specific hazards like fire, fuel, smoke, and engine blade failures. Key technical competencies include knowledge of 14 CFR Part 25.1309, ARP4754A, and ARP4761 processes, alongside experience with EWIS .1709, HIRF, and Zonal Analysis. The role requires proficiency in probability calculations, technical writing, and tools such as CAFTA software or DOORS for requirement tracking to ensure aircraft safety and reliability throughout the development process.

What you'll do

  • Model aircraft system functionality and intersystem dependencies to ensure operational integrity.
  • Assign aircraft functions to supporting systems and assess the impact of functional losses.
  • Perform fault tree analysis using Boolean Algebra to calculate probability of failure occurrences.
  • Evaluate design changes for their functional effects on overall aircraft performance.
  • Manage requirements by capturing, tracing, and analyzing them within specialized software.
  • Analyze aircraft wiring to determine the consequences of lost wire functions.
  • Conduct hazard assessments for fire, fuel, smoke, and specific risks like engine blade failures.
  • Perform specialized safety analyses including EWIS, HIRF, and environmental zonal assessments.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical curriculum is required.
  • An advanced degree in engineering or a related field is preferred.
  • Must have 10 years of experience in a specific technical discipline or 15 years of broad engineering experience with a bachelor's degree.
  • Knowledge of System Safety Engineering techniques including 14 CFR Part 25.1309, ARP4754A, and ARP4761 is required.
  • Experience in fault tree analysis, failure mode effect analysis, and common cause analysis is required.
  • Experience with probability and reliability calculations and fault tree analysis software is required.
  • Familiarity with CAFTA software is preferred.
  • Familiarity with Safety Requirements in DOORS or similar software is desired.
