JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

As a Producibility / Component Design Engineer in the Civil Engineering Delivery Team you will be part of a team at the forefront of Rolls-Royce’s drive to establish World Class Technical Response and Fix. Focused primarily on Control System Units you will be delivering Minor Design Changes and Design Engineering Support for both Original Equipment (OE) and Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Operations.
You will be responsible for the on-time delivery and quality of component design definitions that meet system level and sub-system requirements. You will participate within a cross functional Integrated Project Team (ITP) and operate in accordance with applicable Rolls-Royce Management System (RRMS) policies and processes. You will be responsible for sub-system integration of the technical activities for their design solutions and enabling lifecycle profitability through the Supply Chain Design.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

• Delivery of design solutions for component(s) and complex unit assemblies whilst considering Safety, Manufacturing Capability, Product Physical and Functional Robustness, Unit Cost, Lifecycle Cost, Weight, Maintainability, Repair.
• Delivery of definition to appropriate stakeholder groups’ requirements (e.g. manufacturing (domestic/external), project customers, airframers and partners, analysis team etc).
• Creation and use of automated and integrated tool sets. When repeat design is anticipated, create automated work flows to enable the design of the component utilising house style, standard features, and standard assessments to define the optimum design as part of automated MBD, manufacture and measurement definitions.
• Elimination of Non-Conformance and delivery of Zero Defects/Producibility within the Operations Environment through analysis of customer and programme requirements and incorporation of manufacturing and measurement process capability into the design solution. Adoption of lean principles such as standardisation/house style to achieve deterministic solutions and producible components in a repeatable fashion. Improvements to design methods, rules and tools to achieve robustness. Application of Robust Design, Systems Engineering, Risk Management (xFMEA) and Design in Context to ensure right first time can be achieved.
• Quality Assurance through checking of design documents, models, drawings in accordance with RRMS technical requirements and proactive Zero Defects approaches.
• 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.
• Create technical documents to comply with process, knowledge management, information and data policies.
• Enable through life Supply Chain Design and Lifecycle profitability for mature product fleets through the application non-conformance management, drawing alteration requests, repair instructions, engine manual limits and Technical Variances (TV).
• Plan, manage and execute external designs via orders placed at design service providers or suppliers with design and production authorisation for complete devices (Design only / Design and Make Package) leading to approval of the designs and all documents.
• Manage product configuration and assure data integrity.
• Execute sub-system integration process including the appropriate use of Systems Engineering and Robust Design tools to ensure that the technical attributes of the Sub-system design meet the agreed requirements.

KEY EXPERIENCES AND ANY QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree or Master’s in Engineering or regional equivalent qualification, or equivalent experience
• 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
• Knowledge and experience of product integrity / liability and certification frameworks
• Membership of a relevant professional body appropriate to region. In the UK - attained/ working towards Chartered status is preferred (and equivalent regional variations)
• Good communication and presentation skills at all levels of the organisation
