Bertrandt is an independent and international development service provider with long years of automotive expertise. With cross-industry know-how and a holistic understanding of systems and products, we create technological solutions at any stage of the product development process. We deal with a focus on hot topics such as digitalization, e-mobility and autonomous systems, mainly for the automotive, aerospace and mechanical engineering sectors, and consistently facilitate the development of tailored solutions in these areas. Our goal: to accelerate technological progress and make a relevant contribution to a sustainable future. We work on this every day – with around 14,000 employees at more than 50 sites worldwide.
We are recruiting for a Functional Safety Systems Engineer for our customer.
Our customer is seeking a Functional Safety Systems Engineer to join their core team in the Dunton Technical Centre in Laindon, Essex. You will be a key player in ensuring their complex, distributed technologies—including powertrain, infotainment, and active safety—meet the highest safety standards. Using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), you will bridge the gap between research and production, turning "what if" into "what’s next."
