KO2 is a recruitment agency with experience recruiting for safety critical software engineers, helping our clients ensure that their electronics and embedded systems are developed to the relevant safety-critical standards.
KO2 has helped a variety of businesses with recruitment in industries that would be classed as safety-critical and industrial. Our previous work has helped clients develop devices for non-destructive tests, control systems, rugged industrial displays, oil and gas umbilical test systems and electrofusion and butt fusion devices, to name just a few.
We cut our teeth on safety-critical and industrial businesses. Whilst electronics embedded systems businesses have realised the need to focus on modern techniques such as IoT, safety-critical and industrial recruitment within this sector remains at the core of what we do.
Electronics embedded systems businesses looking for skills within safety-critical often make their hiring decisions based on experience within sectors where key principles are similar. KO2 has found that companies within aerospace, automotive, defence, control systems, medical and oil and gas often utilise similar skills and techniques.
KO2 can provide the experience required to ensure compliance with all kinds of safety standards, including those involving MISRA, Automotive, Military, Medical and Defence technology. Previous clients we have worked with have required candidates with experience in standards such as DO-178B, ISO26262, IEC61508, IEC 62304, MISRA, IATF 16949, AEC-Q100, AEC-Q200 and IATF 1694.
At every stage of the lifecycle, from requirements capture to test, we’re a recruitment agency that can support you in finding the right candidates. Positions we have filled on safety-critical and industrial projects include embedded software engineers, electronic design engineers, verification and validation engineers and many more.
We source candidates with safety-critical and industrial experience that ensure a safe and high-quality product is delivered each and every time.
In the process industry, there are three main types of industrial safety systems. These are Process Safety Systems or Process Shutdown Systems (PSS), Safety Shutdown Systems (SSS) and Fire and Gas Systems (FGS). A process shutdown system automatically isolates and stops part of a process from functioning. A safety shutdown system automatically puts a process or piece of machinery in a safe state in an emergency situation, protecting both the people around it and the product or asset involved. Fire and gas systems detect fire and flammable gas at an early stage and automatically activate a fire protection system.
According to data from Glassdoor, the average annual salary for a system safety engineer in the UK is £54,915. In senior positions, salaries for this engineering role can be over £100,000, so it’s a role with a lot of salary potential if you’re successful.
