Product Definition Engineer - Combustion, Turbines & Exhaust

Job Title: Product Definition Engineer - Combustion, Turbines & Exhaust

Working Pattern: Full Time

Location: Bristol

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Product Definition Engineer to join our Combustion, Turbines & Exhaust Engineering Team in Bristol supporting all mature engine programmes. Working in UK&I Combat and Adour Defence, we are looking to welcome a talented engineer into an established team, whose role will be to create component models and definition drawings in line with company practices to meet design intent, satisfying fit, form and function of the component whilst optimising for manufacture.

This will mean that the chosen individual will need to be capable of working with existing legacy and fleet drawings as well as working on new component definitions being created wholly in a digital format. Managing and maintaining data integrity is vital to this role so attention to detail is an important quality.

As a Product Definition Engineer, you will be 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), 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). You will be providing input to planning activities and be prepared to deliver to challenging deadlines.

Although you will be working primarily on the Adour engine, when required you may be supporting other engineers across our product portfolio. You will work closely with talented professionals from across the full engineering spectrum including those from other Rolls-Royce sites, as well as with external suppliers.

Working with Rolls-Royce, you’ll be working with high performing individuals, teams & departments. Rolls-Royce is willing to put employees through additional training where required to further your knowledge & experience.

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

• Prepare, develop, and maintain the master model, definition drawing and relevant documentation in accordance with company procedures, engineering drawing standards, design intent (fit, form, function), manufacturing & build capability, project costs, timescales and quality requirements. Manage, update and incorporation of Drawing Alteration Requests and creation of specialised bespoke models for analysis purposes.
• Work as part of a multi-discipline team to ensure new and revised component definitions are fit for purpose (meets design intent, manufacturable etc.)
• To produce tolerance stack-ups to aid new product creation & validation and to support in-service investigation work.
• To 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.
• Experience in a relevant engineering environment (Mechanical, Aeronautical, Electrical or Controls). Additional qualifications in combination with relevant experience are advantageous.
• Have appropriate engineering experience in conceptual and detail drafting techniques with a good understanding of manufacturing techniques.
• Experienced in using Siemens NX and Teamcenter experience is essential.
• Experienced in using ISO/British Standard and/or ASME Y14.5M drawing standards.
• Appreciation of gas turbine operation and System Design concepts are advantageous.

Qualifications:

• Qualification to degree level in a STEM subject and with experience in a relevant engineering environment (Mechanical, Aeronautical, Electrical or Controls).
• Good holistic approach to problem solving.
• Analytical and logical approach.
• Familiarity with the design, operation and environment of gas turbine engines (advantageous).

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.

We welcome applications from people with a refugee background.
