Job description

Component Design Engineer
Full time
Solihull/Hybrid

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Component Design Engineer to join our team at Rolls-Royce.
The Electronics and Electrical team is seeking mechanical engineers to develop design solutions for hardware used within all areas of our diverse business. Our portfolio of products is broad - we cover electrical machines and structural components within Electronic Control Units and Power Electronics.

The team supports programmes across the lifecycle, from research and technology to finding solutions to keep in-service products operating. Our challenge is to ensure designs are optimised within the sub-system wherever they are deployed and meet the requirements for safety, performance, cost, and durability.

Based in Solihull, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary organisation tasked with delivering component solutions.

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.

What you will be doing:

1. Generate and interpret design solutions for components and complex assemblies in 3D (CAD).
2. Evaluate and adapt designs taking into consideration safety, DfX, manufacturing capability, materials and processes, product physical form, and functional robustness.
3. Generate and review 2D drawings, including applying knowledge of GD&T and other drafting principles.
4. Create technical documents to comply with process, knowledge management, information, and data policies.
5. Manage product configuration including operating the design change process.
6. Ensure design solutions adhere to external and internal design standards and best practices.
7. Carry out analyses where appropriate, using analytical rules, tools, and methods to underwrite the design solution against requirements.
8. Ensure delivery of work in line with priorities and contribute to project planning within a multi-disciplinary team.

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-qualified in an Engineering discipline (e.g., BSc, MSc, MEng) or equivalent relevant experience.
• Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies with an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts such as materials and processes, manufacturing engineering, cost engineering, and structural analysis.
• An ability to apply logical thinking to a range of technical problems and make balanced decisions.
• Good communication and presentation skills and experience working with multi-disciplinary teams.
• Experience in using Siemens NX (or equivalent CAD software), Teamcenter, or other Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) suites.
• Ideal but not essential, experience leading design activities and contributing to the development of junior engineers.
• Ideal but not essential, experience of working within an agile management framework.
• Ideal but not essential, experience of Lean Practices for developing improvements to methods and techniques.

*To work for Rolls-Royce, you may need to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats to that clearance for some roles. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you don't currently have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, for some roles you must hold a UK Security Clearance.

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.
