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.

Qualifications:

1. Ideally a Master's degree in Engineering or Bachelor's plus relevant work experience.
2. A registered Chartered Engineer (with UK Engineer Council or international equivalent) or working towards registration.
3. Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts.
4. Ability to apply logical, analytical, and innovative thinking on a range of technical problems.
5. Good communication and presentation skills at all levels of the organisation.
6. Experience working with large multi-disciplinary teams.

Desirable Skills:

1. A broad and practical understanding of the design and manufacturing methods for components used within a gas turbine engine.
2. Experience in using Siemens NX (or equivalent CAD software), Teamcenter, or other Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) suites.
3. Experience leading design activities and providing input to programme plans.
