• Experience with MIL-STD 882, JSSSEH, and DO-178/DO-254 standards.
• Aircraft design experience involving hardware and software, strong critical-thinking skills, and the ability to work collaboratively and build relationships with teammates and customers.

Responsibilities

• Participate in research and analysis to identify potential or reported manufacturing issues, risks, and safety concerns, including non-conformances, quality escapes, and foreign object debris.
• Participate in system research and analysis to identify potential or reported in-service fleet hazards, risks, and safety concerns.
• Support identification of systemic root causes for safety and mission assurance issues and recommend corrective actions using industry best practices.
• Support defining and validating safety, mission success, and airworthiness, and help incorporate them into designs, operations, and procedures.
• Participate in tests, analyses, inspections, audits, and simulations to verify that systems meet defined safety and mission assurance requirements.
• Assist with creating and maintaining aerospace safety and mission assurance tools and processes.
• Document safety analysis, hazard mitigation, and validation and verification activities in compliance with relevant customer and regulatory safety standards.
