Principal Engineer – Safety Engineering (Safety Requirements)

Responsibilities

• Manage all safety requirements flowing from whole boat into combat systems, ensuring accurate capture, traceability, and configuration control within DOORS in a complex engineering environment
• Lead requirements decomposition activities (including DSRs, 4SFRs and 5SFRs) following Safety Team analysis, aligned with the V lifecycle model and INCOSE systems engineering principles
• Maintain robust requirements governance, change control, and configuration management across the safety lifecycle
• Provide clear, concise, and evidence-based reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager on safety requirements status, progress, risks, and compliance
• Liaise with subsystem teams, suppliers, and safety engineers to ensure alignment, consistency, and effective communication of requirements
• Support gap analysis between formal safety requirements and supplier assumptions to ensure compliance and technical integrity
• Ensure safety requirements are appropriately defined, validated, and maintained using strong systems engineering practice
• Produce high-quality technical documentation and communicate engineering decisions effectively to stakeholders at all levels

Qualifications

• Degree qualified in a STEM discipline or equivalent experience
• Strong understanding of safety engineering or systems engineering principles within complex engineering environments
• Experience with requirements management tools (eg DOORS) and configuration control processes
• Knowledge of systems engineering lifecycle and V-model development approach
• Ability to analyse, structure, and decompose complex technical requirements
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage and influence multiple stakeholders
• Experience working in regulated or safety-critical environments (eg defence, maritime, nuclear, aerospace)
