What we offer
We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.
Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location. It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.
What you will be doing:
The Safety & Reliability Engineer supports the team in understanding how the engine or system will deteriorate as it progresses through life and ultimately fail, establishing what the resulting failure effects might be and helping quantify the risk using statistical tools.
* Because of the wide range of systems that can fail in an engine, you will interact with a wide range of specialists and senior project figures. Key interactions are with the Life Cycle Engineering and Design Engineering functions. The ability to work with a broad range of specialists and projects and to be able to put multi-layered ideas across to senior engineers is therefore desirable.
* Applying Reliability & Safety processes and tools like Hazard Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Quantitative Risk Assessment.
* Utilise Safety & Reliability Evaluation using techniques such as FMECA, Fault Tree Evaluation, Quantitative Risk Assessment, and Functional Hazard Assessment.
* To capture and numerically assess the causes of system rejections and provide them to the Services organisation to allow operational availability and cost to be determined.
Who we’re looking for:
* You will be educated to degree level in a STEM subject and/or have experience in a relevant engineering discipline. Other qualifications, in combination with relevant experience, may also be considered.
* You need to be able to think about how things can fail as well as how they work. Whether failures are theoretical, or we are responding to actual events, an understanding of failure mechanisms and recognising possible event scenarios is key for this role.
* Failures will inevitably influence the product’s operation, so the ability to think “big picture” and to identify how a component failure will escalate to impact the engine, platform, and ultimately the customer experience of the product is required.
* Failures are enumerated using statistical mathematics. You should be comfortable with mathematics, and experience with statistical techniques to address uncertainty would be an advantage.
* Familiarity with the design, operation and operating environment of gas turbine engines.
* A logical approach to problem solving and the ability to collect, filter and evaluate data from design, test and service using various statistical techniques is relevant.
* To influence design through understanding how failures will affect system operation, and to evaluate the resulting design, providing feedback on any impact this will have to the safety or reliability of the system.
We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
We welcome applications from people with a refugee background.
