Responsibilities

Ensure effective systems safety engineering efforts are conducted through identification and analysis of potential hazards from concept definition through development, production, product fielding and lifetime sustainment

Identify and evaluate hazards both qualitatively and quantitatively. Perform detailed analysis of aircraft systems and subsystems, their functioning, crew and maintenance operating procedures and practices, and the operational environment to identify hazard severity and quantify probability of occurrence or qualitatively estimate hazard frequencies

Plan, define and verify system safety requirements and develop safety analysis artifacts to ensure design integrity and safety

Administer system safety activities for assigned program Integrate Product Teams (IPTs). Interface with the customer and IPT Teammates on safety related issues. Monitor, investigate, and resolve issues relative to system safety engineering

Extensive communication of system safety engineering approach, industry and Bell best practices, and analyses results to internal and external customers to ensure all hazards are identified and mitigated effectively

Mentor fellow engineers as needed based on your expertise and experience

Support the development and application of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and model-based safety analysis (MBSA) practices to meet customer's system safety objectives

Support Bell's Safety Management System (SMS) for the control, management and tracking of program risks

Establishing software safety requirements in accordance with the appropriate standards and evaluating the functional impacts of noncompliance in coordination with software safety engineers, design subject matter experts (SMEs), suppliers, and the customer as required
