Job Description

Electrical Systems Engineer

Full Time- Hybrid

Derby

The Electrical Systems Engineer team will be part of the Novel Nuclear EC&I Team and will be responsible for the architecture of the electrical systems associated with the Novel Nuclear micro-reactors. The electrical systems will include the systems performing electrical power generation, conditioning, transmission and distribution; the systems supplying power to the plant equipment (eg, pumps, valves, heaters); and the supplies for the EC&I.

You will work within the Novel Nuclear EC&I Team, and will interface with the wider Novel Nuclear area to capture requirements for the electrical subsystems, inform whole plant systems engineering and design, identify architecture options, determine the architectures that best meet the requirements and restrictions, and derive the design definitions.

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 exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home or another remote location. 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'll be doing:

You will be responsible:

• To capture and agree relevant high-level electrical requirements;
• To capture applicable design constraints and quality attributes;
• To translate requirements into an architecture for the Novel Nuclear micro-reactor electrical systems, being cognisant of:
  • Defence in depth;
  • Single failure criteria;
  • Common cause failure;
  • Black out conditions;
  • Loss of power conditions;
  • Hazards (internal and external).

• To make design decisions relating to the electrical subsystems;
• To implement appropriate standards, regulations and best practice in the architecture for the Novel Nuclear micro-reactor electrical systems;
• To carry out appropriate technical reviews and provide the required electrical engineering inputs to the project technical review gates;
• To provide support to the Novel Nuclear EC&I Team and the wider Novel Nuclear area as required;
• To discuss the architecture for the Novel Nuclear micro-reactor electrical systems with external organisations including the nuclear safety regulator, potential customers and suppliers.

Who we are 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.

Preferred qualifications and areas of experience include:

• Qualified to degree level or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline;
• Working knowledge of common electrical design codes, standards and processes. Knowledge of BS EN IEC 63046 and IEEE 15288 will be beneficial;
• Working knowledge of electrical power distribution systems and components;
• Membership of a professional engineering institution or working towards membership;
• Experience of working in the nuclear industry or other areas where high reliability and safety are required;
• Experience in leading the development of design solutions from initial concept through to detailed design definition using a robust design process, including experience of trade-off studies to ensure an optimum design solution is produced;
• Experience in planning and executing technical work packages and reporting progress as required;
• Experience in using system modelling tools (Cameo, for example);
• Experience applying appropriate analysis methods to underpin concept definitions and support the justification of design solutions.

We're 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.

To work for Rolls-Royce Submarines you need to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats to that clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you don't currently already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, you must hold a UK nationality. Any dual nationals will require additional scrutiny and background checks prior to commencing work with RRSL.
