Job Description
Dynamics Engineer- Submarines
Full Time
Derby / onsite
We are currently looking for talented Engineers to join the Dynamics Group in Rolls-Royce Submarines.
As an engineer in the Dynamics Group, you will be engaging primarily in structural assessments relating to impact, seismic, shock and vibration scenarios for all components within the steam raising plant. We also assess a wide range of on-board and shore-based plant support equipment and radioactive material transport containers.
The work is interesting and varied; there will be situations in which you will be relied upon to respond rapidly to emergent challenges, providing a vital and valued service to the Submarines enterprise.
Why Rolls-Royce?
Rolls-Royce Submarines is a leader in propulsion systems design and development for the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine fleet.

They are the sole provider and technical authority for the Nuclear Steam Raising Plant, managing all aspects of plant design, safety, manufacture, performance and through-life support.
Powering the submarines of today and building solutions for tomorrow has never been more important. We're a leader in propulsion system design and development for the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine fleet and the sole provider and technical authority.
What we offer:
Join us and we'll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive, digital-first culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career.
We offer excellent development, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits.

These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.
What you'll be doing:
In this role you will:

• Undertaking a broad range of mechanical assessments, including linear, non-linear and dynamic finite element analyses.
• Making use of traditional hand calculation methods, commercial finite element codes and bespoke analysis codes.
• Using assessment work to develop and substantiate component designs, inform through-life management and, in many cases, pursue regulatory approval for current class, in-build and future class submarines.
• Development and implementation of methodologies to assess components, along with the definition of testing programmes to underwrite those methods.
• Relaying the method and outcome of assessments, clearly and efficiently, to a range of audiences at all seniorities within Rolls-Royce, industry partners and customer organisations.

Who we're looking for:
At Rolls-Royce we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviours and are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

• Essential:
  
• Qualified to degree level, or with equivalent experience, in mechanical engineering, physics or mathematics.
• Able to prioritise tasks and work effectively on multiple projects at the same time.
• Demonstrate interest in dynamic analysis and test.
• 
  Desirable:
  
• Good all-round knowledge of the fundamental failure mechanisms and the methods used to assess against them.
• Practical experience of using finite element methods for structural component assessment, along with experience of providing support to manufacturing engineers, designers and safety case authors.
• Good working knowledge of dynamics and non-linear events.
• Experience generating and working with finite element models, using industry standard tools such as LS-DYNA, Abaqus, ANSYS, HyperMesh and the Oasys suite.
• Experience of working in an industry where safety is a priority and in which components are justified to safety cases and/or design code requirements.
• Experience of working as part of a multi-disciplinary design team; particularly where concurrent engineering methods have been used.
• Membership, or Associate Membership, of a relevant professional institution and working toward chartership.

We're 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. And the more perspectives we have, the more successful we'll be. By building a culture of respect and appreciation, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
