ESTIMATED PAYRATE: $55 per hour

Description

• TheComponent Design Engineer is part of the Global Mechanical Systems Capabilityfunction.
• TheComponent Design Engineer shall create engineering solutions that satisfyfunctional and physical requirements symptomatic of Product System andSub-System level environments.
• Crucially, the engineered solutions must exhibitrobustness for manufacturing capability.
• TheComponent Design Engineer is responsible for the on-time delivery and qualityof component design definition artefacts, i.e. documents, models, definitionsthat meet system level and sub-system requirements. The Component DesignEngineer will participate within an IPT described by Product Lifecycle System(PLS) and operate in accordance with applicable Rolls-Royce Management System(RRMS) policies and processes.
• TheComponent Design Engineer is responsible for sub-system integration of thetechnical activities for their design solutions and enabling lifecycleprofitability through the Supply Chain Design.

KeyAccountabilities

• Deliverdesign solutions for component(s), complex assemblies and whole engines inconsideration of safety, manufacturing capability, product physical andfunctional robustness. Design solutions also should address Unit Cost,Lifecycle Cost, Weight, Maintainability, Repair.
• Deliverdefinition to appropriate stakeholder groups’ requirements (e.g. manufacturing(domestic/external), project customers, airframers and partners, analysis teametc.) in accordance with associated agreed policies via conventional and futurestate approaches (Model Based Definition in association with the Model BasedEnvironment).
• Createand use automated and integrated tool sets. When repeat design is anticipated,create automated workflows to enable the design of the component utilizinghouse style, standard features, and standard assessments to define the optimumdesign as part of automated MBD, manufacture and measurement definitions.
• Eliminationof Non-Conformance/Zero Defects/Delivery of Producibility within aManufacturing Environment. This will be through analyzing customer andprogramme requirements, incorporation of manufacturing and measurement processcapability into the design solution rationale and associated manufacturingdefinition.
