  • Identify potential hazards and work with engineering teams to eliminate them through design or establish effective engineering and administrative controls.
  • Evaluate system requirements, customer specifications, and applicable military standards from a safety perspective.
  • Translate safety objectives into clear requirements and guidance for hardware, software, firmware, systems, electrical, integration, and test teams.
  • Collaborate across Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to ensure safety considerations are incorporated throughout the system architecture and design.
  • Support technical reviews and brief program safety considerations as part of the formal safety approval process.
  • Prepare internal and customer-facing reports documenting hazard analyses, risk assessments, safety findings, and recommendations.
  • Interface directly with customer safety representatives and government approval authorities.
