Product Definition Engineer

Full-Time

Bristol

*NB: First Stage telephone interviews will be held on the following dates: 14th-18th of April.

*Second stage Face to Face interviews: (TBC)*

As a Product Definition Engineer, your main task will be to produce and (where adequate capability has been demonstrated) check Component definitions (such as Model Based Definitions - MBDs) in line with Engineering Standards to meet design intent, satisfying fit, form, and function of the component whilst optimising for manufacture.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

As a Product Definition Engineer, you’ll play a vital role in enabling the delivery of our Group Engineering, Technology & Safety (ET&S) Strategy. This role sits within the Digital Design and Industrialisation (DD&I) Team.

We’ll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

This role includes an opportunity to grow technically alongside driving forward the Product Definition Capability. It also includes supporting the delivery of the automation workstreams (such as MBD) and Digital Transformation Strategy, enabling future efficiencies within Engineering.

What we offer

We offer excellent development opportunities, 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.

What you will be doing

The Product Definition role includes being influential during all stages of the design cycle (e.g. creating analysis models, producing tolerance stack-ups, creating the master model and producing the component definition - MBD & 2D), manufacture of the part (e.g. supporting Design For Manufacture activities and the manufacturing buy-off process), right through to supporting parts in-service (e.g. managing and incorporating Drawing Alteration Requests, supporting concession activities and supporting in-service investigation work). Managing and maintaining data integrity is vital to this role so attention to detail is an important quality.

1. Prepare, develop, and maintain the 3D master CAD model, definition (MBD/technical drawing) and relevant documentation in accordance with company procedures, engineering drawing standards, design intent (fit, form, function), manufacturing & build capability, project costs, timescales, enable downstream automation and quality requirements.
2. Work as part of a multi-discipline team to ensure new and revised component definitions are fit for purpose (meets design intent, manufacturable etc.).
3. Create specialised bespoke CAD models for analysis purposes and the management, update and incorporation of Drawing Alteration Requests.
4. Produce tolerance stack-ups to aid new product creation & validation and to support in-service investigation work.
5. Support the delivery of DD&I Automation Strategy (including Model Based Definition and High Value Digital Design). Actively promote, encourage and support the identification and implementation of continuous improvement (of tools, processes, methods and guidance material).

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.

To be successful in this role you will need to be:

1. Experienced in using Siemens NX and Teamcenter is essential and experience in using ISO/British Standard and/or ASME Y14.5M drawing standards is essential.
2. Degree level qualified in a STEM subject and experience in a relevant engineering environment. Other qualifications, in combination with relevant experience, may also be considered.
3. Highly numerate with good technical and analytical skills, problem-solving ability and capable of systems level thinking.
4. Have appropriate engineering experience in conceptual and detail design, detail definition methods and a good understanding of manufacturing techniques.

*To work for Rolls-Royce you may need to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats to that clearance for some roles. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you don’t currently already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, for some roles you must hold a UK nationality.*

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. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
