Mechanical Control Units - Performance Analysis
Job Description
Job Title: Mechanical Control Units - Performance Analysis
Working Pattern: Full time
Working location: Solihull
This position is being advertised to form a pipeline of candidates for current and future positions within Civil Aerospace, therefore applicants should not expect feedback immediately. However, we will endeavour to review your CV in a timely manner.
What you will be doing
As a Performance Analyst within the Mechanical Control Units Design team, you will be part of a multidisciplinary environment, contributing to the design, development, and lifecycle support of aero-engine fuel system components. You will play a key role in translating functional requirements into analytical models to represent and derive the design characteristics of fuel pump elements or means of fuel flow and pressure control.
This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technologies in gas turbine design, and to help shape the performance, efficiency, and reliability of Rolls-Royce products globally.
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.

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.
Responsibilities
We are recruiting candidates for both Fuel Pump Performance and Fuel Control Performance analysis. Potential tasks include:
* Running a range of multi-physics fuel pump analytical models to look at the tribology of fuel pump bearings, bearing journal and thrust face loading, gear mesh cavitation and fuel pressure distribution models.
* Creating and maintaining fuel system analytical models to replicate the steady state fuel control performance and size valves and metering profiles appropriately for the system requirements.
* Deploying analytical techniques to optimise the stability of fuel control system operation.
* Working with the Design Engineers to optimise the component sizing and geometry in line with the model output.
* Providing technical support to in-service engine investigations and contributing to fleet issue resolution.
* Participating in and contributing to research and technology projects aligned with future product development, working with university partners to help new model development.
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.
* Degree in Physics, Maths, Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
* Advantage to have knowledge of fluid mechanics, engineering mechanics, aerospace fuel pumps and fuel control systems.
* Good knowledge of numerical analysis techniques.
* Programming methods - object-oriented an advantage.
* Advantage to have experience of any of the following:
o Programming language(s)
o MATLAB
o Ansys Mechanical
o Mathcad Prime
* Ability to work effectively in a technically challenging and interdisciplinary environment, with a solution-oriented mindset.
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. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we'll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
We welcome applications from people with a refugee background.
