Job description

Overview

Service Analysis Engineer – Derby Hybrid 3 days per week onsite. 37 hours per week - Full Time.

Rolls-Royce are looking to add a Service Analysis Engineer to the team based in Derby. The Service Analysis Engineer will work in the Engine Health Monitoring (EHM) Operational Support team, which is part of Engineering for Services, in the Civil Aerospace business. The team provides vital engineering support to a wide range of departments to help with design and in-service issues across all Civil Large Engines. By analysing service EHM data and other data sources, the team provides insights on engine performance and operation which can help investigate root cause, estimate effectiveness of fleet management, confirm design assumptions or monitor life usage.

What you will be doing

• In this role, you'll dive into real customer challenges, using data to uncover solutions that improve how our products perform in service. You'll gain a strong understanding of engine performance from end to end, develop expertise in using engine "big data," and see first-hand how your analysis makes a direct impact–boosting airline operational availability while helping reduce company costs.
• The work is varied and rewarding, ranging from quick problem-solving tasks to long-term projects that can run over a year. You'll build skills across multiple areas, including engine performance, component and system design, airline operations, programming, and data analysis. Flexibility is key, as priorities can shift with new challenges, but this variety keeps the role engaging and accelerates your growth as an engineer.
• Key Accountabilities include supporting Engine Project teams and/or the Major Event Centre by providing on-wing data analysis relating to in-service events or findings to aid root cause investigation or service management.
• Analysis of on-wing service operation data to provide diagnosis used as basis for troubleshooting advice.
• Analyse on-wing service operation performance, air systems and other functional/operational data for design input or feedback (e.g., Red Tops, Safety Alert Reports, Technical Life Reviews, or design improvements).
• Provide input to EHM system requirements for new engine projects.
• Analyse on-wing data for life management of Critical Parts, and provide input to Group A parts life usage monitoring methods.
• Support the development of engine monitoring capability through performing data analysis and providing technical buy-off of requirements and design of methods.
• Develop new and improved analysis capabilities in partnership with Civil Aerospace Digital groups and the Lifecycle Engineering EHM Capability.

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. We're looking for ambitious and curious individuals who are eager to grow their expertise and make a real impact in aerospace. Whether you have an engineering background with a passion for computer science, or a computer science degree with an interest in aerospace, you'll thrive in this role if you're excited to learn and apply your skills in new ways. Strong coding ability in languages such as Python, MATLAB or SQL will set you up for success, as will being self-directed, adaptable, and comfortable working in fast-moving, sometimes ambiguous environments.

Key Skills and Experience

• Engineering degree or equivalent with experience in one or more engineering disciplines
• An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking to a range of technical problems
• Proactive, persistent and customer focused with a high level of self-motivation and initiative
• Effective interpersonal and communication skills to work with, and influence Project leaders, specialists, or peers in other functional areas
• Capable of responding quickly to urgent requests from customers in addition to the longer term planning and technical activities
• Experience using coding languages such as Python, MATLAB or SQL is desired
• Previous whole engine experience or gas turbine performance experience is beneficial but not essential
• It would be preferable to have an appreciation of the EHM system

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.
