Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.

Long Description

The selected candidate will support System Safety Engineering efforts for Air Mobility and Maritime Missions (AMMM) aircraft programs. The candidate will support System Safety Program Plan development and execution. Position requires performing analyses for hazard identification, evaluation and control using quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques typically used in the design of aircraft weapon systems and sustainment activities. Typical System Safety Analyses performed include Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), System Safety Analysis (SSA), Software Hazard Analysis (SWHA), and others. The candidate should be capable of performing qualitative and quantitative hazard analyses to conduct risk assessments and trade studies needed to evaluate and optimize design choices and recommend appropriate controls to mitigate safety hazards. This position requires extensive interface and coordination of system safety activities with design teams, suppliers, internal management and external customers. The candidate should also have an understanding of adjacent disciplines for efficient collaboration and trade-offs supporting all program objectives. The candidate must be capable of establishing software safety requirements in accordance with the appropriate standard and evaluating the functional impacts of noncompliance in coordination with design Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).
