Role Title: Senior Systems Engineer - Power Station Integration

Location: Hybrid working with one of the following locations as your primary site: Derby, Warrington or Manchester.

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 Systems Engineer - Power Station Integration, to be involved in industry leading, cutting-edge design project for a new type of power station.

The Senior Systems Engineer willdevelop & deliver power station design solutions that meet the required attributes of the RR SMR power station by integrating functional design and undertaking design optioneering as a key member of the Power Station Integration team.

The Power Station Integration team deliver the overarching functional plant design and manage the associated measures of performance. This role may undertake aspects of both these areas using systems engineering methods to integrate solutions across the power station, as well as flowing requirements to lower tier systems ensuring the whole power station requirements and identifying and driving improvements and risk mitigations where the attributes are affected

Key Results & What can be Achieved in the Role

• Own and run independently the design of Power Station Capabilities/Features and manage the performance and attributes of the power station in relation to these. (E.g. net power output, availability, product cost etc.).
• Use experience and systems engineering techniques to deliver Power Station design solutions against product requirements.
• Ensure requirements flow to the lower tier systems enables the overarching power station attributes and objectives to be met.
  • Elicit capability requirements.
  • Integrate across multi-level disciplined design teams to develop the design capability.
  • Deliver the plant level solutions to meet key attributes.
• Drive the delivery of performance opportunities and risk mitigations.
• Develop the business understanding and impact on performance from alternative power station variants.

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we'll let you in on a secret: there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. If you feel you meet 75% of the requirements for this role, we would love to hear from you.
