At Rolls‑Royce we are pioneers of power. When we talk about innovation within this business, it's essential we demonstrate how we do this. We don't just imagine great possibilities – we push boundaries at every stage and bring our innovative ideas to life through impressive engineering. This is how we create brilliance, which we should sell by letting the facts speak for themselves.

Rolls‑Royce has customers in more than 150 countries, comprising more than 400 airlines and leasing customers, 160 armed forces and more than 5,000 power and nuclear customers. From combat to transport, from trainers to helicopters, our engines and pioneering service solutions ensure that our Defence customers have world‑leading engine technology available, whatever the mission demands. As an integral partner in the Tempest programme, the programme to develop the next generation of combat aircraft, we're developing innovative capabilities and technologies to revolutionise air power.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen in our Test Facility Design team to join this exciting world‑class group in preparation for our future programmes including Tempest, which will provide successful applicants with opportunities to expand their knowledge across all areas of gas turbine operation and development testing. This is a hands‑on role working in our labs and test facilities: you'll develop software that interfaces with real hardware and instrumentation, and you'll spend time commissioning, testing and troubleshooting on rigs.
