• Comfortable working to safety-critical / functional safety requirements
• Confident engaging directly with customers and cross-functional engineering teams
• Experience with ASPICE and/or automotive product development is a nice-to-have, not essential
• Experience with Jira and Confluence is useful

• Rate: Up to £65 per hour, outside IR35
• Contract length: 6 months initially, with strong potential to extend
