Job description

Reliability , Maintainability and Safety Engineer

Step into a role where Reliability, Maintainability and Safety (RMS) engineering sits at the heart of shaping the next generation of aerospace systems. Join a globally respected engineering organisation with a long-standing heritage of innovation, supporting advanced aircraft programmes that demand exceptional performance, precision and safety.

This is a rare opportunity to influence high-reliability, mission-critical technologies used across a diverse range of aerospace platforms. If you're passionate about designing systems that perform flawlessly in the real world, and ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety and reliability, this role places you at the forefront of that mission.

They believe great engineering thrives when people feel supported. Many teams benefit from a 9-day fortnight and agile working arrangements (subject to agreement), giving you greater flexibility, balance and control over how you work.

Investment in Your Career & Growth

They are committed to helping you grow, both technically and professionally. You'll have access to:

• Structured Personal Development Plans aligned with your ambitions
• Ongoing training, upskilling and certification opportunities
• Clear career progression pathways within a global organisation
• Opportunities to broaden your expertise across complex engineering domains

Your development is a long-term investment, one they take seriously.

What You'll Do

As part of the RMS team, you'll help embed world-class reliability and safety practices throughout the entire product lifecycle. You will:

• Perform reliability, maintainability and safety analyses at both component and system levels
• Produce reliability predictions, maintainability assessments and detailed FMECA reports
• Support risk management processes, including DFMEA, robustness modelling and programme risk tracking
• Interpret engineering requirements and recommend design improvements based on analytical insights
• Contribute to system safety assessments aligned to recognised aerospace standards
• Drive continuous improvement through structured problem-solving and FRACAS activities

This is a hands‑on role where your expertise directly influences design decisions and product safety.

What You'll Bring

• Engineering degree or equivalent
• Minimum 2 years' experience in a technical engineering environment
• Experience working with new electrical/electronic product development
• Familiarity with FMEAs, FMECAs, reliability modelling and fault tree analysis
• Understanding of structured risk tools and problem-solving methods
• Experience with ALT/HALT/HASS techniques and RMS software tools

Security Clearance will be required for this position.
