Description
Your mission
Safety Engineering
• Develop and maintain system and aircraft-level safety assessments in accordance with ARP4761 and ARP4754A (e.g., FHA, PSSA, SSA, CMA).
• Perform Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA) and System Safety Assessments (SSA) to support certification and design reviews.
• Support fault tree analysis (FTA), failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA/FMECA), and common cause analyses (CCA).
• Contribute to the development and review of Certification Plans, Safety Plans, and System Safety Program Plans (SSPP).
• Interface with airworthiness authorities (e.g., EASA, FAA, military) for certification-related safety work.
Reliability Engineering
• Perform quantitative reliability predictions using tools such as Reliasoft, Windchill, or MIL-HDBK-217.
• Develop system and LRU reliability models and conduct Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action Systems (FRACAS) processes.
• Monitor and report Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time Between Removals (MTBR), and other KPIs.
• Analyze field data and in-service feedback to identify trends and areas for improvement.
Maintainability & Supportability
• Conduct maintainability analysis, including Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), fault isolation, access analysis, and Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) architecture assessments.
• Support the development of Maintenance Task Analyses (MTA) and Maintenance Manuals (e.g., AMM, CMM).
• Contribute to the Logistics Support Analysis (LSA), Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), and Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) deliverables.
• Work closely with production, customer support, and aftermarket teams to improve maintainability and reduce lifecycle costs.
Your profile
Qualifications
• Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in safety, reliability, or maintainability engineering within the aviation or aerospace sector.
• Strong knowledge of applicable standards: ARP4761, ARP4754A, CS-29/-27 (or FAR equivalents), MIL-STD-882, MIL-HDBK-217.
• Experience with analytical tools (e.g., Relex, Isograph, RAM Com-mander, FMEA software, MATLAB).
• Familiarity with DO-178C / DO-254 / DO-160.
• Good understanding of aircraft systems, e.g. electrical, avionics, struc-tures, propulsion.
Key Competencies
• Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving skills.
• Clear understanding of certification processes and safety lifecycles.
• Ability to communicate complex technical information to non-specialists, including regulators and customers.
• Structured, detail-oriented, and quality-conscious.
• Capable of working cross-functionally in a fast-paced and regulated environment.
