Senior Safety Engineer (all genders)

As a Senior Safety Engineer (all genders) you will help us design and develop our battery-electric aircraft and ensure it meets the highest standards regarding safety and reliability. As an all-electric aircraft, this may entail new design approaches to meeting compliance with regulations and working together with regulatory bodies to establish new regulations. This will be a broad role covering design support, analysis, test and compliance finding. In this role, you will provide specialist support to all other engineering groups including propulsion, systems and structures.

• Conduct safety and risk assessments on aircraft and system level, i.e., Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), Preliminary Safety Assessment (PASA/PSSA), Safety Analysis (ASA/SSA).
• Apply and support with safety analysis methods, such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA), Particular Risk Analysis (PRA) and Common Mode Analysis (CMA).
• Develop, manage and verify safety requirements and support other engineering groups with systems engineering to ensure safety and reliability are well integrated in the design and development.
• Ensure compliance with aviation safety standards and support aircraft certification efforts with EASA, FAA and other regulatory bodies.
• Develop safety test plans and conduct system reliability analysis.
• Prepare safety related documentation and act as the main internal and external interface at various levels.

• Engineering degree in Aerospace Engineering or equivalent (e.g., mechanical or electrical Engineering).
• 5 years of experience in aircraft and system safety engineering.
• Background in (hybrid-)electric aviation and strong understanding of aircraft systems.
• Knowledge of aviation systems & safety engineering principles for safety critical systems (i.e. SAE ARP 4754 and 4761, Do-178C, DO-254).
• Experience with the full development lifecycle from conceptual design through to certification (EASA/FAA Part 23 or 25).
• Experience working in an EASA Part 21J Design Organization, or international equivalent.
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills in English, other European language would be a plus.
• Positive thinking, “Can do” attitude and working nature characterized by self-initiative, solution orientation, eagerness to learn, grow and apply new skills.
• Passioned about aviation and electrification of aviation industry.

• Be part of an ambitious team determined to shape the future of aviation.
• Enjoy flexible working hours: we believe in ownership and trust.
• Subsidized EGYM Wellpass membership: your (mental) health is important for us.
• Become a part of our success with virtual stock options.
• Work in one of our offices in Munich or Delft. Enjoy the modern Balan Campus in Munich or work close to the innovative Aerospace TU Delft.
• Boost your professional as well as personal growth executing your own ideas and independent projects.
• Join our internal social events and retreats (e.g. cooking, game nights, sports).

VÆRIDION is a fast-growing deep tech start-up based in Munich, Germany. Since the restrictions by law on CO₂ emissions for domestic and short-haul air travel will stimulate Green Regional Air Mobility, we believe it's our mission to provide an aircraft for Zero emission regional flights.
At VÆRIDION our goal is to develop, build and certify a full electric microliner carrying up to 9 passengers for Short-Haul and Regional Air Mobility by 2030. A full electric microliner is cleaner and cheaper to operate than other aeroplanes in its class, it provides a better travel experience door to door up to 500 km. We offer new optimized design based on proven principles, around proven and available technology in electric motors and batteries, that brings lowest risk and shortest route to certification.
