Job Description
Job Title: Stress and Lifing Engineer
Industry: Defence
Years of Experience: 3 to 15 years
Why Rolls-Royce?
At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.
By joining Rolls-Royce, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.
Summary
As a Mechanical Integrity and Lifing Engineer will be responsible for the structural analysis of a variety of Critical Part components, ranging from Fan discs, Compressor discs, blisks & drums, Turbine discs & cover plates as well as Mainline Shafts and Stub-Shafts.
These components are subject to some of the most severe and complex loading conditions found in any engineering field, and they are designed and analysed with high fidelity against highly demanding safe life requirements.
What You’ll Be Doing
This role will offer you multiple interfaces with a wide range of other areas including Component Design teams, Design Integration teams, Engine Project teams, Engine Development teams, Services & Life Cycle Engineering teams, Materials teams, Manufacturing teams and Repair & Overhaul teams.
- To conduct mechanical integrity, stress and lifing assessments using finite element analysis and other numerical models.
- To specify and conduct mechanical experiments, for the purpose of underwriting designs, and validating analytical or empirical models. Also, you will identify root cause and resolve problems through evaluative judgements and analysis.
- To deliver against programme milestones within agreed cost, timescale and quality requirements.
- To be a point of contact between the mechanical integrity discipline and other functions and customers.
What We’re Looking For
At Rolls-Royce we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviours and are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.
- You will have Bachelor's degree or Master's in Engineering or regional equivalent qualification (or equivalent experience) in Mechanical or Aeronautical Engineering, Materials Technology, Mathematics, Physics or a similar related discipline.
- Knowledge and experience in Critical Part component lifing methods and analyses – e.g. LCF, HCF, damage tolerant/crack propagation (deterministic & probabilistic), corrosion, rotor integrity (disc burst, rim peel & blade release), or has keen interest in developing such skills at pace.
- Proficient in the use of 2D & 3D finite element stress analysis tools (e.g. SC03/ Abaqus/ ANSYS/ NASTRAN) – in elastic, inelastic, thermal-mechanical, contact and frictional assessments.
- Knowledge and experience of product integrity, liability and aerospace certification frameworks.
- Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and have an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts which include but are not limited to manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, thermal and mechanical analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
Our vision is to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that shaped our history continues into our future. Our multi-year transformation programme aims to turn Rolls-Royce into a high-performing, competitive, resilient and growing company. Join us, and it can be your future vision too.
Rolls-Royce are committed to being a respectful, inclusive, and non-discriminatory workplace where individuality is valued, diverse perspectives fuel innovation, and everyone can thrive.
As part of our selection process, candidates in certain locations may be asked to complete an online assessment, which can include cognitive and behavioural aptitude testing relevant to the role. If required, full instructions for the next steps will be provided.
