Role & responsibilities

RAMS & Safety Governance Strategy

- Establish, implement, and maintain the overarching RAMS Program Plan and Safety Management Plan across all lifecycle phases (V-Model) for SIL 4 products.
- Apportion safety targets (THR, TFFR) and RAM metrics (MTBF, MTTR, Availability) down to hardware, software, and architectural sub-systems.
- Lead risk management activities to ensure all identified hazards are mitigated to acceptable levels in accordance with ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) principles.

Safety Analysis & Hazard Management

- Facilitate and lead cross-functional hazard identification sessions (HAZOP, HAZID, PHA, FMEA / FMECA, FMEDA, FTA, and ETA).
- Maintain and own the System Hazard Log, ensuring strict end-to-end traceability from hazard identification through to mitigation verification and safety requirement validation.
- Perform quantitative and qualitative Safety Integrity Level (SIL) assessments, calculating hardware probabilistic metrics (PFH / PFD) and architectural constraints.

Compliance, Verification & Safety Case Authoring

- Author, review, and finalize SIL 4 Safety Cases (Generic Product, Generic Application, and Specific Application) for regulatory approval and certification.
- Verify that hardware design, software architecture (EN 50128 / IEC 61508-3), and cross-acceptance meet rigorous SIL 4 compliance standards.
- Serve as the main technical point of contact for external audits, certification bodies, and Independent Safety Assessors (ISA) to achieve product homologation.

Reliability & Maintainability (RAM) Engineering

- Oversee reliability modeling (Reliability Block Diagrams, Markov Chains) and system availability forecasting.
- Conduct Maintainability and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analyses to define optimized maintenance intervals, diagnostic coverage goals, and field repair strategies.




- Drive the FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System) process during integration, commissioning, and operational phases.

1. Qualifications & Requirements

Education: Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline. Experience: Minimum 10+ years of progressive experience in RAMS / Functional Safety engineering, with a proven track record of successfully delivering or certifying at least one SIL 4 product through ISA sign-off.

Industry Standards: Deep technical mastery of domain safety standards:

- Railway Domain: CENELEC standards (EN 50126 / IEC 62278, EN 50128 / IEC 62279, EN 50129 / IEC 62425, EN 50159).
- Industrial / Generic Domain: IEC 61508 (SIL 4), ISO 26262 (ASIL D), or DO-178C / DO-254 (DAL A).

Technical Tooling: Advanced proficiency in RAMS tools (e.g., Isograph FaultTree+, Ansys Medini Analyze, Windchill / Relex, PTC Reliability, CARA Fault Tree). Architectural Knowledge: Strong expertise in hardware metrics (SFF, DC, FIT rates) and high-integrity safety architectures (e.g., 2oo3, 2oo2D redundancy patterns).

Certifications (Preferred): Certified Functional Safety Engineer / Expert (TV, CFSE, or equivalent).

Preferred candidate profile

1. Key Competencies
