About the Role 

We are seeking an experienced Safety Engineer to lead product safety across the development, integration, and assurance of complex defence and aerospace systems. You will ensure that system architectures and integrations meet rigorous safety, reliability, and compliance standards, while guiding multidisciplinary teams and driving robust, mission critical engineering practices.

At Frankenburg Technologies, you will join a skilled and ambitious team and working on defence technologies in a fast-growing international environment. We value ownership, collaboration, and an engineering mindset, offering you the opportunity to make a real impact on products that matter.

Key Responsibilities 

• Safety Engineering Leadership
  Own system safety architecture, hazard analysis, fault tree analysis, and safety case development and contribute to general systems engineering tasks (e.g. system architecture, requirements, and modelling and analysis) as needed.

• Requirements & Assurance
  Define, manage, and verify safety and reliability requirements; ensure compliance with relevant defence and aerospace standards.

• Analysis & Modelling
  Lead safety focused system analysis, including FMEA, performance impact studies, and behavioural modelling.

• Governance & Documentation
  Produce high quality safety reports, assurance documentation, and safety artefacts for internal and external stakeholders.

• Collaboration
  Partner with engineering teams, programme management, suppliers, and customers to ensure safety is embedded from concept to deployment.

• Process Improvement
  Drive adoption of industry best practice, safety standards, and continuous improvement in engineering processes.

We Would Love You to Have

• Educational Background 
  Degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace, Electronics, or a similar; advanced safety qualifications desirable.

• Experience
  Strong background in defence or aerospace; significant experience in safety-critical systems, preferably involving missile, weapon, or air defence technologies.

• Technical Skills
  Good knowledge of system safety methods (FMEA, FTA, FHA), safety case development, and lifecycle safety assurance. Experience with safety/reliability tools (e.g. Isograph Availability Workbench or similar). MBSE experience is a plus.

• Soft Skills
  Proactive and solution-oriented, with strong communication and influencing skills. A structured thinker and mentor, able to lead safety discussions across diverse audiences and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Mission Alignment
  Strong alignment with our mission to build affordable and mass-manufacturable defence technologies — ensuring every euro spent moves us closer to our goal. 

• Security Clearance
  Willingness to undergo a background check as a condition of employment. 

Our Values

Our mission is ambitious, and it takes a team that works with the same intensity.

• Own the Mission: Mission first. Always.
  We choose impact — we focus on what moves the mission forward fastest instead of “nice-to-haves". We fix it now — when delays or problems appear, we step up, rally the right people, and solve them immediately. We keep momentum — when time matters, we stay focused and move forward without waiting for perfect conditions.

• Strive for More: Dare more. Do more. Achieve the impossible.
  We challenge the status quo — we question, test, and improve instead of accepting “the usual way.” We embrace discomfort — we step outside comfort zones and turn challenges into growth. We anticipate the future — we build solutions that scale and set higher standards each time.

• Build with Trust: Be open. Keep promises.
  We walk the talk — what we say, we do. No excuses, no exceptions. We share openly — we communicate clearly and early, even when the news is hard. We own outcomes — we admit errors quickly, fix them, and prevent them from repeating.
