Stephen:

What do you mean by "safety engineer"?  I thought it was
someone who was primarily concerned with people and their
environment.  You seem to be describing someone who is
involved in the design of products.  I work in industrial
process control and about 1/2 of this involves safety
related interlock systems.  Would that qualify me as a
'safety engineer'?  Also, what do you mean by 'fail-safe
embedded control systems'?  I would imagine the control
system of an aircraft, a photocopier and and oil refinery
require quite different techniques and experience.

A common problem in industry is the use of the same word or
phrase for totally different applications by people with
backgrounds in different industries or even different
companies in the same industry.
