Component Design Engineer - LW Survivability Technologies

Rolls-Royce is a leading company in engineering and manufacturing, known for its commitment to safety and innovation. The Component Design Engineer will be responsible for delivering robust design solutions for components and assemblies while ensuring quality and compliance with technical requirements.

Responsibilities

• 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
• Deliver definition to appropriate stakeholder groups’ requirements (e.g. manufacturing (domestic/external), project customers, airframers and partners, analysis team etc.) in accordance with associated agreed policies via conventional and future state approaches (Model Based Definition in association with the Model Based Environment)
• Create and use automated and integrated tool sets. When repeat design is anticipated, create automated workflows to enable the design of the component utilizing house style, standard features, and standard assessments to define the optimum design as part of automated MBD, manufacture and measurement definitions
• Elimination of Non-Conformance/Zero Defects/Delivery of Producibility within a Manufacturing Environment. This will be through analyzing customer and program requirements, incorporation of manufacturing and measurement process capability into the design solution rationale and associated manufacturing definition. Establish and adoption of lean principles like standardization/house style to achieve deterministic solutions and producible components in a repeatable fashion. Improvements to design methods, rules and tools to achieve robustness. Application of Robust Design, Systems Engineering, Risk Management (xFMEA) and Design in Context to ensure right first time can be achieved
• 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
• Create technical documents to comply with process, knowledge management, information and data policies
• Enable through life Supply Chain Design and Lifecycle profitability for mature product fleets through the application and possibly creation of various mechanisms (non-conformance management, drawing alteration requests, repair instructions, engine manual limits and technical variants (TV))
• Plan, manage and execute external designs via orders placed at design service providers or suppliers with design and production authorization for complete devices (Design only / Design and Make Package) leading to approval of the designs and all documents
• Manage product configuration and assure data integrity
• Execute sub-system integration process including the appropriate use of Systems Engineering and Robust Design tools to ensure that the technical attributes of the Sub-system design meet the agreed requirements
