Simon Brailsford is Professional Services Manager at Relyence UK and has spent more than 30 years working with engineering organisations involved in the design, development and support of complex products and systems.

Throughout his career, Simon has helped companies across aerospace, defence, automotive, electronics, rail and medical devices implement reliability, risk and safety methodologies including FMEA, FRACAS, Fault Tree Analysis and Reliability Prediction. His work focuses on helping engineering teams improve decision-making, maintain traceability and capture valuable engineering knowledge that can be reused across future programmes.

With the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence across engineering software and workflows, Simon has developed a particular interest in how AI can support structured engineering activities without compromising accountability, transparency or engineering judgement. His session at Vehicle Electrification Expo explores where AI can add genuine value within safety-critical design processes and where responsibility must remain firmly with the engineer.
