Full Time
Location: Derby
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.
What we offer:
We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home or another remote location.
What you will be doing:
* Developing fit-for-purpose, innovative engineering solutions, from concept to implementation, against customer and governance requirements.
* 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.
* Providing technical support to sub-contract manufacturers and undertaking equipment build/assembly activities.
* Producing development test plans, then performing trials and demonstrations to 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, and ideally an appreciation of protocols associated with nuclear applications.
* Experience of practical application and ideally 'hands-on' experience of a broad range of machining processes and tools.
* Previous machine design and development experience, preferably bespoke special purpose machines, and the production of associated technical documentation.
* Familiarity with design tools/techniques and proficiency in CAD, ideally Siemens-NX.
* A Mechanical Engineering related degree, or equivalent experience.
To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines business, an individual must hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently have this in place. Due to the nature of work, we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.
We are an equal opportunities employer committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment.
