Why Rolls-Royce?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Safety & Reliability Engineer to join our team in Bristol. In all areas you will working with a range of key business stakeholders both internal and external to support the delivery of key programme milestones thus enabling the delivery of our Defence strategy. This is how we create brilliance, which we should sell by letting the facts communicate for themselves.

Defence Services is at the heart of the Defence business delivering the contracts and supporting our products in their day-to-day operations. Supporting today’s products means ensuring Safety is at the heart of everything we do, whilst enabling our customers to keep doing what they need to do. Rolls-Royce’s customers have entrusted us to deliver excellence, successful delivery against these programmes will ensure a satisfied and safe customer enabling the company to maintain our market share in the Naval, Defence Aero and combat markets.

Work with us and we’ll welcome you into an inclusive culture, one that invests in your continuous learning and development, and gives you access to a wide breadth and depth of experience.

We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and notable benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. So we encourage flexible working arrangements and support hybrid working wherever possible, so you can always be at your best - wherever and whenever you work.

What you will be doing:

The Safety & Reliability Engineer supports the team in understanding how the engine or system will deteriorate as it progresses through life and ultimately fail, establishing what the resulting failure effects might be and helping quantify the risk using statistical tools. There are several skills that are necessary to enable you to do this effectively:

You need to be able to think about how things can fail as well as how they work. Whether failures are theoretical, or we are responding to actual events, an understanding of failure mechanisms and recognising possible event scenarios is key for this role.
Failures will inevitably influence the product’s operation, so the ability to think “big picture” and to identify how a component failure will escalate to impact the engine, platform, and ultimately the customer experience of the product is required.
Failures are enumerated using statistical mathematics. You should be comfortable with mathematics, and experience with statistical techniques to address uncertainty would be an advantage.
Because of the wide range of systems that can fail in an engine, you will interact with a wide range of specialists and senior project figures. Key interactions are with the Life Cycle Engineering and Design Engineering functions. The ability to work with a broad range of specialists and projects and to be able to put multi-layered ideas across to senior engineers is therefore desirable.
A logical approach to problem solving and the ability to collect, filter and evaluate data from design, test and service using various statistical techniques is relevant.

Who we’re looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration and seek simplicity in everything we do. These values 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 be educated to degree level in a STEM subject and/ or have experience in a relevant engineering environment (Mechanical, Aeronautical, Electrical or Coordinates). Other qualifications, in combination with relevant experience, may also be considered.
You will also be a Chartered Engineer or hold an affiliate / associate membership of a relevant professional body or be working towards Chartered/Incorporated status.
Familiarity with the design, operation and environment of gas turbine engines.
Knowledge and experience in applying Reliability & Safety processes and tools like Hazard Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Quantitative Risk Assessment or Comfortable using statistical tools that you can read across to the Safety & Reliability toolset ( Weibull, Monte Carlo).
Bachelor's degree or higher with Gas Turbine engine content. Where you do not hold a degree, relevant experience will be considered.
To understand how engineering systems fail and to characterise those failures numerically using deterministic and probabilistic mathematical methods.
To influence design through understanding how failures will affect system operation, and to evaluate the resulting design, providing feedback on any impact this will have to the safety or reliability of the system.
To advise the Chief Engineer on the risks that will affect the safety or reliability of his fleet. Work with the engineering teams to formally ensure and mitigate these risks and ensure product safety is maintained.
Move out Safety & Reliability Evaluation using techniques such as FMECA, Fault Tree Evaluation, Quantitative Risk Assessment, and Functional Hazard Assessment
To capture and numerically assess the causes of system rejections and provide them to the Services organisation to allow operational availability and cost to be coached.

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. And the more perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of respect and appreciation, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.

We welcome applications from people with a refugee background.
