Senior System Safety Engineer

• Job Title: Senior System Safety Engineer• Location: Tulsa, OK• Type: Direct Hire• Compensation: $175,000.00• Work Model: Remote – offsite• Hours: 40.0• Security Clearance: Not specified in the provided data or description

• Overview• The Senior System Safety Engineer is a hands-on technical leader responsible for identifying and reducing electrical, mechanical, and environmental risks in in-line inspection tools and associated equipment. This is a product-level engineering role, not a general EHS or workplace safety role.• The engineer will perform safety-related design reviews, make design recommendations, support test planning, review test results, and communicate system risk, unresolved assumptions, and residual risk to management.• This role operates as a product-safety function with cross-disciplinary review responsibility. It should not be embedded under a discipline-specific design manager whose team owns the designs being reviewed. The role informs risk acceptance but does not accept product risk on behalf of the company.• The role requires independent judgment, clear communication, and practical risk-based decisions grounded in sound engineering principles, accepted practices, and applicable standards.

Responsibilities

• Identify and reduce electrical, mechanical, and environmental risks in in-line inspection tools and associated equipment.
• Perform safety-related design reviews, make design recommendations, support test planning, and review test results.
• Communicate system risk, unresolved assumptions, and residual risk to management.
• Establish and maintain formal safety evaluation processes for tool design.
• Facilitate hazard analyses such as FMEA, fault-tree analysis, and related safety activities.
• Define and document credible threats, including justifications for excluding severe consequences.
• Review mechanical, electrical, and control system designs to ensure safety goals are met.
• Work with design and test teams to incorporate and verify safety recommendations.
• Manage and review safety-related supplier or contractor work.
• Report safety-case status, gaps, mitigation options, and residual risk to stakeholders.

• Operate effectively in situations lacking clear standards or complete data.
• Identify missing information and close safety-critical gaps through analysis, testing, or expert input.
• Make timely, justifiable recommendations while communicating assumptions and uncertainties.
• Avoid unsupported assumptions and controls that do not materially reduce risk.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience in electrical engineering, product safety, or related fields.
• Experience applying structured safety methods to complex engineered products, systems, or equipment.
• Knowledge of hazard analysis, risk reduction, safety verification, and residual-risk communication.
• Understanding of functional safety standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 61508, IEC 62061.
• Familiarity with hazardous-location, explosive-atmosphere, or ignition-risk concepts for electrical/electronic equipment.
• Strong knowledge of DC power distribution, batteries, protection circuits, fault currents, and thermal effects.
• Ability to review schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, test data, and safety documentation.
• Effective communication with technical and management audiences.
