What you will be doing
As a Component Design Engineer you will be part of the Global Mechanical Systems Capability function. You will create engineering solutions that satisfy functional and physical requirements symptomatic of Product System and Sub-System level environments. Crucially the engineered solutions must exhibit robustness for manufacturing capability.
Working within ET&S (Engineering Technology and Safety) you will be responsible for the on-time delivery and quality of component design definition artefacts i.e. documents models definitions that meet system level and sub-system requirements. You 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.
You will be responsible for sub-system integration of the technical activities for their design solutions and enabling lifecycle profitability through the Supply Chain Design.

- Deliver design solutions for component(s) complex assemblies and whole engines in consideration of safety manufacturing capability product physical and functional robustness. Design solutions also should address Unit Cost Lifecycle Cost Weight Maintainability Repair
- Create and use automated and integrated tool sets. When repeat design is anticipated create automated workflows to enable the design of the component utilising house style standard features and standard assessments to define the optimum design as part of automated MBD manufacture and measurement definitions
- Quality Assurance through checking of design documents models drawings in accordance with RRMS technical requirements and proactive Zero Defects approaches
- Carry out analyses using formula-based calculations and/or automated workflows for dimensioning of parts and components (e.g. stability stiffness profiles balance point weights) and where appropriate using analytical rules tools and methods to underwrite the design solution against requirements
