An exciting opportunity for a Producibility Manufacturing Engineer role has arisen within Rolls Royce Submarines.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Our submarines business is responsible for the design, manufacture, supply and through-life support of nuclear propulsion-related products and systems in support of the Royal Navy's submarine fleet. You can find out more about the amazing projects that we are working on here: https://youtu.be/x19YSPecrf8

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.

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.

Rolls-Royce Submarines are looking to recruit a group of self-motivated Manufacturing Engineers who enjoy learning new skills, have a positive approach and enjoy resolving a wide range of challenges that a Manufacturing Engineer can face.

As part of the Engineering Producibility Team, a Manufacturing Engineer is expected to influence new designs using New Product Introduction tools to ensure manufacturability and continually improve upon existing product designs, then translating these into world class processes which meet business and customer requirements for Safety, Quality, Cost & Delivery.

What we offer:

We offer excellent development, 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.

Within this exciting opportunity you will get a chance to have an input into the development of manufacturing processes and/or methods of manufacture and the continuous improvement of these areas.

What you will be doing:

The product and materials are somewhat novel when compared to other vessel fabrications, pumps, valves and assemblies for a Pressurised circuit. The optimal candidate would:

• Execute Manufacturing Product Introduction activities, including the design of the overall Method of Manufacture and of individual process steps using the Product Quality Planning toolset
• Apply fundamental knowledge of DFMEA / PFMEA to influence Product definition / final form manufacture
• Create and validate Production Technical Instructions capable of delivering design intent and meeting customer and business requirements for safety, quality, cost, delivery rate & leadtime (SQCD).
• Be accountable for being the manufacturing technical authority for the product and manage First offs, new part numbers, significant method resequencing and introduction of new tooling
• Act as the primary Manufacturing Engineering representative within a cross-functional team for owned parts

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, are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

• Experience with fabrications, valves, complex assemblies, machining, and critical classified components.
• A degree or equivalent in an engineering or related technical discipline with previous experience in manufacturing or process engineering.
• Strong analytical skills and a proven record of technical problem-solving, with knowledge of Six Sigma / Lean techniques.
• Excellent communication skills to liaise with all levels of staff.
• Organizational and presentation skills, comfortable presenting at all levels.

We are an equal opportunities employer committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that diverse perspectives foster innovation and success. We support your full potential through a culture of respect and appreciation.
