Functional Safety Engineer (systems engineer) Rocester, Staffordshire

This role will involve a mix of functional safety and systems engineering activities. It is expected that the functional safety engineer would have a strong background in design / development of electromechanical systems.

To £65,000 + benefits

This is an interesting opportunity for a systems engineer or functional safety engineer to support the development of new systems and products within an established machine manufacturing company.

The role would be aligned to functional safety engineering but the company is open to considering engineers with systems engineering, systems integration or validation backgrounds that have a good familiarity with functional safety processes, standards and methods.

Key requirements: Functional Safety Engineer

* Proven track record in systems engineering, systems integration, validation or functional safety engineering (electromechanical systems)

* Good “whole product” systems appreciation

* Exposure to relevant functional safety standards – ISO13849, ISO26262 or IEC 61508

* Good analytical experience- e.g. DFMEA, FTA, FMECA, reliability, etc

Background:

The company is involved with the design, development, and manufacture of a broad range of machinery / vehicles for the construction and agricultural industries. The technologies you could be exposed to are broad and complex (e.g. ranging from hydraulic systems and control, through to collision avoidance, autonomous functionality, electric / hybrid powertrain systems etc.)

You will have the opportunity to help steer and guide future products through functional safety and systems engineering activities.

Skills / Experience required: Functional Safety / Systems Engineer

* Ideally a degree or masters in a relevant subject (e.g. mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, electronics etc.)

* Proven track record in systems engineering, systems integration, validation or functional safety engineering

* Good whole vehicle / machine systems appreciation (mechanical, electrical, electronic etc)

* Exposure to relevant functional safety standards – ISO13849, ISO26262 or IEC 61508

* Good analytical and modelling / simulation experience- e.g. DFMEA, FTA, reliability, Matlab, Simulink, etc

* A background in systems design, integration or analysis within a similar field would be great

Others (beneficial):

* Knowledge of safety critical control systems – e.g. autonomous systems, ADAS, electric vehicle / hybrid powertrain systems could be an advantage

* An appreciation of software engineering and electronics development may also prove useful

The role would be based onsite in Rocester, Staffordshire (not remote) and is commutable from Stoke on Trent, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Stafford and Burton
