Senior RAMS Engineer

At our company, job titles and career progression are earned, not determined by years of experience alone. They reflect the responsibility you take on and the dedication you bring to each project. If you’re ready to rise to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities

• Establish and develop RAMS and safety-engineering processes across vehicles, propulsion systems, ground systems, facilities, and operations.
• Define, manage, and verify reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety requirements throughout the system lifecycle.
• Lead hazard identification, risk assessments, failure-mode analysis, fault-tree analysis, and other structured safety assessments.
• Develop and maintain safety cases, hazard logs, RAMS plans, safety assessments, compliance evidence, and technical justifications.
• Work with systems, propulsion, avionics, test, manufacturing, operations, and suppliers to identify hazards and implement effective risk controls.
• Support design reviews, test-readiness reviews, operational-readiness activities, incident investigations, change control, and corrective actions.

What we are looking for

• Proven experience in RAMS, safety engineering, reliability engineering, or systems engineering for high-reliability, high-safety, or mission-critical systems.
• Experience analysing complex hardware and operational systems, including interfaces, failure modes, hazards, and system-level risks.
• Strong understanding of safety-engineering methods and the ability to turn analysis into practical design and operational controls.
• Experience producing clear technical documentation, safety arguments, risk assessments, compliance evidence, and engineering reports.
• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to challenge technical decisions and work effectively with specialist engineering and operational teams.
• A degree in systems engineering, safety engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related discipline; equivalent practical experience may also be relevant.

Desirable experience

• RAMS or safety engineering within aerospace, space, defence, rocketry, missile systems, nuclear, rail, energy, automotive, or another high-consequence industry.
• Experience with FMEA, FMECA, fault-tree analysis, hazard analysis, HAZOP, STPA, bow-tie analysis, or similar techniques.
• Safety cases, functional-safety assessments, reliability predictions, maintainability analysis, or probabilistic risk assessment.
• Propulsion systems, solid rocket motors, hazardous materials, explosives, test stands, launch operations, or high-energy systems.
• Experience supporting verification and validation, qualification, acceptance testing, configuration control, and engineering change processes.
• Familiarity with applicable aerospace, defence, functional-safety, quality, or hazardous-operations standards and regulatory frameworks.
• Fluent German would be a significant advantage in this position.

Benefits and important information:

• We offer top-decile compensation packages, bonuses and meaningful equity, to attract exceptional aerospace talent.
• Every employee is awarded stock options in the company, you will directly benefit from your own hard work and success.
• Comprehensive relocation support including flights, shipping and visas.
