Job Description
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Design Engineer to join our team in Rolls-Royce.
Based in Bristol or Derby you will be part of a large multi-disciplinary organisation tasked with delivering novel gas turbine sub-systems and component solutions as part of a next generation power and propulsion system and supporting our in-service products
As a Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design of a variety of components and assemblies across a range of sub-systems. Duties can extend to supporting broader activities such as understanding in-service operation, testing and verification programmes, technology development activities, and development of tools and methods, to name but a few.
We have some of the most exciting engineering challenges in Rolls-Royce that would suit those with a talent for developing novel technology in a fast paced and sometimes ambiguous environment.
Why Rolls-Royce?
Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.
We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.
We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.
We'll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.
What we offer
We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.
Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location. It's a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum we're all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.
What You Will Be Doing
In this exciting new role, you will have a chance to:
Deliver design solutions for component(s) and complex assemblies in consideration of safety, manufacturing capability, product physical and functional robustness.
Evaluate how current products operate in service to improve their reliability.
Deliver definitions to appropriate stakeholder groups' requirements (e.g. manufacturing (domestic/external), project customers, analysis team etc) in accordance with associated agreed policies via conventional and future state approaches (Model Based Definition in association with the Model Based Environment).
Develop tool sets, methods, standards, best practice guidance for sub-systems and components. Capture lessons learnt.
Contribute to product safety through XFMEA and risk processes. Ensure design solutions adhere to quality systems.
Carry out analyses using formula-based calculations and/or automated workflows for dimensioning of parts and components (e.g. stability, stiffness, profiles, balance point, weights) and where appropriate, using analytical rules, tools and methods to underwrite the design solution against requirements.
Ensure delivery of work in line with priorities, manage work through an agile management framework, and contribute to planning within a multi-disciplinary team.
Who We're Looking For
At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.
Ideally a Master's degree in Engineering or Bachelors plus relevant work experience.
A registered Chartered Engineer (with UK Engineer Council or international equivalent) or working towards registration.
Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and have an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts which include but are not limited to manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, thermal and mechanical analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking on a range of technical problems and make balanced decisions across technical and business parameters
Good communication and presentation skills at all levels of the organisation and experience working with large multi-disciplinary teams.
Ideal but not essential, a broad and practical understanding of the design and manufacturing methods for components used within a gas turbine engine.
Ideal but not essential, experience in using Siemens NX (or equivalent CAD software), Teamcenter or other Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) suites.
Ideal but not essential, experience leading design activities, providing input to programme plans, contributing to the development of junior engineers.
*To work for Rolls-Royce you may need to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats to that clearance for some roles. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you don't currently already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, for some roles you must hold a UK nationality.*
We are an equal opportunities employer. We're committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving.
