Since 2024, I have been working as a system safety engineer for the EuroDrone Project an integral part of Airbus Defece and Space’s team. I have been an integral part of Turkish Aerospace's team, specializing in Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety, Supportability, and Testability (RAMSST) for the Turkish Fighter Aircraft Development Project between 2017 and 2024. In these capacities, I have taken on the critical responsibility of ensuring the safety, operational readiness, reliability and dependability of the aircraft throughout theirs lifecycle. Safety Engineering: As a Safety Engineer, my foremost duty is to guarantee that all aircraft products adhere to the highest safety standards in the industry. I meticulously apply industry-specific safety standards such as ARP4754, ARP4761, DO-178C, and DO-254 to every phase of the development process. This includes scrutinizing design, production, and support procedures to eliminate potential hazards and vulnerabilities. By doing so, I play a pivotal role in minimizing risks and hazards associated with the aircraft's operation, ultimately safeguarding the lives of the pilots and personnel involved. Reliability Engineering: In my role as a Reliability Engineer, I take a comprehensive approach to assess and enhance the aircraft's Reliability. I employ advanced analytical techniques to identify potential weaknesses in the aircraft's systems and subsystems. This involves conducting detailed failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and fault tree analysis (FTA) to pinpoint vulnerabilities and devise strategies for improvement. My efforts are geared towards ensuring that the aircraft can operate consistently and efficiently under various conditions, minimizing downtime and maximizing mission success. In summary, my role as a Safety and Reliability Engineer goes beyond conventional engineering practices. It encompasses the intricate process of upholding safety standards, minimizing risks, and optimizing the aircraft's performance and reliability. Through systematic analysis and continuous improvement, I am committed to ensuring that the Turkish Fighter Aircraft Development Project and the EuroDrone Project not only meets but exceeds industry standards for safety and reliability, setting a benchmark for excellence in the aerospace field.
In this role, I focus on ensuring that complex systems are designed and operated with safety as a priority. This involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating potential hazards throughout the system lifecycle. Using methodologies such as; * Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA); is a top-down, systematic safety assessment used in aviation to identify and evaluate the consequences of failures in aircraft functions in accordance with ARP4754 and ARP4761. It is an early-stage analysis performed during system design to ensure that critical functions are fail-safe and meet safety regulations, * Fault Tree Analysis (FTA); is a top-down, deductive safety assessment technique used in aviation to systematically identify the causes of system failures. It helps safety engineers determine how multiple failures or events can combine to cause a critical hazard (e.g., loss of flight control, engine failure), * Interface Hazard Analysis (IHA), to identify and mitigate hazards that are intrinsic to systems, components in the aircraft, * Common Cause Analysis (CCA), to ensure that single-point failures do not escalate into catastrophic events by eliminating or mitigating common causes of failure, * Common Mode Analysis (CMA), to prevent single-point failures from compromising redundant systems, ensuring aircraft reliability and safety, and * Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA), to ensure that all aircraft zones are designed and maintained safely, minimizing the risk of system failures, fire, and physical damage. As a safety engineer; * Experienced with playing a pivotal role in safety assessments and risk management, ensuring compliance with MIL‑STD‑882 and other relevant safety standards. * Experienced with ensuring compliance with DO‑178C and DO‑254 standards by overseeing safety‑critical software and hardware development processes. * Experienced with collaborating design and engineering teams to develop and implement safety measures based on FTA findings, enhancing system reliability.
