Summary
Ben Merange is a chartered Senior Systems Engineer with 12 years’ experience designing, implementing and assuring safety-critical, software-intensive systems across rail, aerospace and automotive sectors. He specialises in end-to-end systems engineering—requirements, architecture, V&V, risk modelling and safety cases—and has led independent reviews and trial designs for multiple government transport agencies. Ben combines hands-on software development and verification with rigorous safety assurance, having delivered SIL-rated software, automated dependent-failure detection R&D, and risk frameworks used by national rail and transport bodies. He holds a Master of Systems Engineering (Space Systems) from UNSW Canberra and a Mechatronics engineering degree from UQ, and has upskilled in deep learning tooling. Based in Queensland, Australia, Ben brings a pragmatic, research-informed approach to reducing systemic risk in complex engineered systems. Colleagues describe him as someone who translates regulatory rigor into practical, auditable engineering outcomes.
