We are Rolls-Royce SMR and we’re doing something that’s never been done before. We’re revolutionising an industry. That’s a once-in-a-career opportunity for those excited by such a challenge. This is more than just a job; this is a legacy.

We are now recruiting for the exciting role of Senior Electrical Design Engineer, to be involved in industry leading, cutting-edge design project for a new type of power station.

Key Responsibilities:

• Reviews and agrees high level electrical requirements including their testability.
• Analyses and translates high level requirements into a validated design for the electrical system/component.
• Captures applicable design constraints (must meet conditions) and quality attributes (may be traded) that apply to the system/component.
• Captures requirements/constraints in line with the project’s processes for management of interfaces and requirements (e.g., requirements captured in IBM DOORS).
• Designs and implements electrical designs to meet design inputs.
• Works with the Verification team to define verification activities.
• Analyses electrical designs for functional behaviour, which may include modelling and simulation to demonstrate that the design meets the high-level requirements. Develops and reviews electrical tests that will provide evidence to demonstrate that the electrical requirements have been satisfied.
• Participates in and supports capacity planning and the development of long-term strategic goals for the team, in conjunction with managers.
