Design/Development Engineer (Special Purpose Machines) - Submarines
We have an exciting opportunity for a Design/Development Engineer to join the Special Purpose Machines Team within the Rolls-Royce Submarines business.
This is a great opportunity for you to get involved in all stages of product development, from feasibility and concept, through design, build, development, training and implementation, as necessary. You will have the chance to see your ideas become reality in a fast-paced environment, where your problem solving and engineering skills will be challenged and developed.
As part of the Services Delivery Business Unit, the Special Purpose Machines (SPM) Team develop bespoke repair, inspection and maintenance capabilities, against challenging constraints, in support of the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet. SPM has developed a particular expertise in the design of portable cutting/dressing machines, compact material sampling equipment and inspection manipulators. This is an excellent opportunity to make an impact within an interesting and exciting area of the business.
What you will be doing:
* Delivering SPM solutions through management of own day-to-day activities and risks.
* Producing design solutions and engineering drawings, then presenting at gated design reviews to demonstrate all key requirements have been met.
* Providing technical support to sub-contract manufacturers and then undertaking equipment build/assembly activities.
* Producing development test plans, then performing trials and demonstrations to fully validate and commission capabilities.
* Producing operating procedures, training personnel, and supporting initial on-site implementation activities.
Who we’re looking for:
* An understanding of sound engineering principles, including: design for manufacture, design for assembly and maintenance, health and safety, concurrent engineering, and ideally an appreciation of the protocols associated with nuclear applications.
* Experience of the practical application, and ideally ‘hands-on’ experience, of a broad range of machining processes and tools, for example: cutting machines, dressing machines, manipulators and mechanisms.
* Previous machine design and development experience, preferably bespoke special purpose machines, and the production of the associated technical documentation.
* Familiarity with design tools/techniques and proficient in the use of CAD, ideally Siemens‑NX.
* A Mechanical Engineering related degree, or equivalent experience.
To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines business an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently already have this in place.
Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.
