The Opportunity: 

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big-picture thinking to make an impact in System Safety? Our team supports senior-level DoD and Service personnel with system safety implementation and oversight for DoD system programs. You’ll leverage your specialized knowledge and expertise in system safety, including applying scientific and engineering principles, criteria, and techniques to identify and assess system safety hazards and inform the implementation of mitigations to reduce warfighter risk.

As a system safety engineer (SSE) on our team, you'll enjoy a dynamic team environment of customer and contractor staff while executing comprehensive system safety programs or individual tasks on a variety of space systems. You will be familiar with typical work products, including System Safety Program Plans (SSPP), a variety of analyses, including Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), Subsystem and System Hazard Analysis (SHA/SSHA), Operating and Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA), Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) analysis, Safety Assessment Reports (SAR), and test report evaluations. You'll analyze data, develop written deliverables, assist with the presentation of results, and assist with the review of client system safety artifacts to verify compliance with requirements, policy, and guidance documents. You'll conduct these tasks following established plans and quality standards and the freedom to improve processes and advance the discipline of system safety.

Expectations are the Staff SSE can work independently with minimal oversight, based on professional experience and educational background, while helping mentor and train early career SSEs in the System Safety discipline.
