Job description

Overview

Electrical Systems Engineer - Submarines. Full Time / Hybrid. Derby / Permanent. Role to contribute to the Rolls-Royce Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Electrical Power System development, shaping electrical architecture from concept to implementation within a regulated, safety-critical environment.

What you will be doing

• Capture and agree relevant high-level electrical requirements
• Capture applicable design constraints and quality attributes
• Translate requirements into an architecture for the Rolls-Royce AMR Electrical Power System, considering defence-in-depth, single failure criteria, common cause failure, blackout conditions, loss of power conditions, and hazards (internal and external)
• Make design decisions relating to the electrical subsystems
• Define and oversee development of critical technologies
• Implement appropriate standards, regulations and best practice in the architecture for the Rolls-Royce AMR Electrical Power System
• Carry out appropriate technical reviews and provide the required electrical engineering inputs to project technical review gates
• Provide support to the broader EC&I Team and the wider Novel Nuclear and Special Projects area as required
• Discuss the architecture for the AMR electrical systems with external organisations including the nuclear safety regulator, potential customers and suppliers

Who we're looking for

• Qualified to degree level or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• Working knowledge of electrical design codes, standards and processes; knowledge of BS EN IEC 63046 and IEEE 15288 beneficial
• Working knowledge of electrical power systems and components
• Membership of a professional engineering institution or working towards membership
• Experience of working in the nuclear industry is desirable; experience within a regulated industry would be beneficial
• Experience in leading the development of design solutions from initial concept through to detailed design definition using a robust design process, including trade-off studies to ensure an optimum design
• Experience in planning and executing technical work packages and reporting progress as required
• Experience applying appropriate analysis methods to underpin concept definitions and support the justification of design solutions

We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment.

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 citizen or, in MoD approved cases, a dual nationality.
