Purpose:

The System Safety Engineer is responsible for performance of risk analyses and hazard analyses on integrated systems forming part of the hyperloop. They will be responsible for oversight of a portfolio of engineering developments and will provide assurance of engineering activities. They will support design engineers to build evidence-based safety cases for their products and will assure compliance to hardware and software engineering processes for safety critical and safety related systems.

The System Safety Engineer will provide assurance of a number of engineering developments. They will be responsible for building the body of evidence necessary to demonstrate the safety of these products through formal safety cases.

The Role:

• The System Safety Engineer is responsible for assuring the safety of the products produced by VHO. Specific tasks and responsibilities include:
• Development of safety targets and safety requirements
• Execute hazard analyses required to support identification of safety requirements in accordance with business standards and program / product objectives.
• Development of specific application, generic application and generic product safety cases.
• Document and communicate results of technical data generated to internal and external customers
• Co-ordinate the timely production of the necessary design safety documentation, especially the relevant safety cases and related documentation for approval milestones.
• Conduct/facilitate PHA, FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis and other safety studies with Engineering groups.
• Develop and maintain Hazard Log.
