Purpose of the Role:
The Safety Engineering work is including but not limited to:
Requirements Analysis,
Hazard Analysis,
Safety Analysis – FMECA, FTA, ETA,
Analysis of Test Coverage and Completeness – sub-system testing to system level testing and field testing,
Analysis of remaining Non-Conformities from a Safety Impact perspective
Creation and Analysis of Safety Related Application Conditions and judge on the acceptance.
The Safety Engineering work encompasses the complete System Delivery for MAR, i.e. the CBTC System and other signalling and non-signalling systems that are part of the scope. It also requires understanding of the underlying generic products and how the complete System Solution comes together with the relevant processes and tools
Primary Responsibilities:
Producing Generic Application Safety Case and / or Specific Application Safety Case(s).
The Safety Cases shall be written in such a way that it is fit for purpose for the railway environment in Victoria and can be re-used for multiple specific applications. The Safety Cases shall encompass the full system solution, i.e. the CBTC System, other Signalling subsystems, potentially non-signalling subsystems and all relevant external interfaces
Producing key supporting documents to the Safety Cases
Documents that are needed in order to provide the evidence to support the safety case that are of technical safety nature e.g. Fault Tree Analysis Report, FMECA Report, various Hazard Analysis Reports and SRAC Reports. Other supporting documents could be separate sub-sections of the Safety Case itself, e.g. Safety Management Report, Quality Management Report or similar
Actively identify and manage the Safety Risks and Issues that emerge from the assurance work of the MAR System.
Ensure Hazard Identification and Management is correct and complete and that all hazards are mitigated So Far As Is Reasonably Possible (SFAIRP) for the intended purpose. Ensure the ISA’s List of Open Points (LOP) and the Validator’s List of Open Validation Points (LOVP) are frequently answered and that all open points have a clear way forward on how they will be closed out. Actively engage with the Validator and ISA.
Actively monitor and manage interface issues related to the MAR System.
Actively engage with the various teams that are working on requirements, design, implementation, and test related to interfaces (external and internal to MAR) to the Interlocking. Ensure all interfaces are correctly and completely covered to achieve all the necessary evidence of safety assurance.
Key Requirements:
Degree in Engineering, electronics, electrics, automation or similar
Experience in relevant standards and best practices, e.g. EN50126, EN50129, EN50128, CSM or similar.
Experience of tools for Quantitative Risk Assessment (FTA/ETA)
Experience with SW tools for Requirements Management (e.g. DOORS) and Configuration Management
Experience in Technical Safety Assurance
Problem solving capacity of complex railway signalling issues in the cross-section between traditional signalling and modern CBTC (Communication based Train Control) systems
