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.
Due to a growing workload, we’re currently looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to undertake test rig design within our Design & Execution team in the Submarines business in Derby.
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.
Your role will involve you working in an exciting area supporting the design of new multi-million-pound test rigs and modifications to existing test rigs, most of which are located in our Centre of Excellence for Engineering Test Laboratory at our main offices at Raynesway in Derby. The bulk of the rigs are bespoke hot and pressurised water rigs. Experience of designing similar process plant facilities, such as oil and gas plant/pipework systems or chemical process facilities as well as designing complex mechanical components and assemblies is desirable.
Working in multi-discipline teams, working with internal resource, external design partners and equipment suppliers, you’ll work with like-minded mechanical and electrical engineers and our facilities/operations team to be the controlling mind and design intent owner for a range of different size rigs designed to deliver test data related to R&T, Verification and Validation, component qualification and through life performance requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Generating requirements, scoping work, and planning tasks in conjunction with stakeholders.
• Applying first principles to mechanical designs as well as standard fluid flow and thermal hydraulic theory to inform and justify design decisions around system and mechanical layout, component selection and sizing, manufacturability and fit form and function.
• Integrate design and conventional health and safety principles, as well considerations from other disciplines, into credible technical solutions and arguments.

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.

• Experience ideally in a relevant, heavily regulated industry, such as Aerospace, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Energy, Water or Nuclear.
• Experience of specifying, designing, justifying, building and commissioning of complex mechanical & fluid systems.
• Track record of delivering solutions against specific customer requirements to time, cost and quality.
• Sound knowledge of engineering principles, process safety, and applicable codes & standards.
• Experience in producing detailed component and assembly drawings to a high standard inclusive of GD&T.
• Experienced in the use of Unigraphics NX & Team centre is highly desirable.
• Experience of operating complex fluid/chemical or mechanical systems is desirable.
• Understand of design process and design and safety assessment processes and tools eg HAZOPs/FMEAs
• Degree (or equivalent) in mechanical engineering or another design engineering discipline
