You’ll be working at the forefront of propulsion technology, applying your expertise in RF engineering to deliver solutions across the lifecycle:
Responsibilities
* Defining RF requirements for adjacent functional disciplines and ensuring they are translated into relatable design constraints.
* Developing and evaluating powerplant geometric and material concepts that meet RF requirements using appropriate analytical methods.
* Collaborating across disciplines to mitigate technical development risks and deliver optimised solutions.
* Performing electromagnetic analyses of components, sub‑systems, systems and platform‑level integration using industry‑standard tools.
* Specifying and supporting verification and validation activities, including test, measurement, calibration of models and uncertainty quantification.
Qualifications
* Hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics or Engineering (or regional equivalent), or demonstrate equivalent experience.
* Bring strong technical knowledge in electromagnetic analysis and design methodologies, with awareness of cross‑discipline concepts such as manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, mechanical/thermal analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
* Have experience using commercial Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) tools such as FEKO, CST or HFSS, with a good understanding of the strengths and limitations of different analysis fidelities.
* Apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking to solve complex technical problems and make balanced decisions across both technical and business considerations.
* Communicate effectively, with the ability to present complex information clearly and confidently to stakeholders at all levels.
Security Clearance
To work for the Rolls‑Royce Defence business an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls‑Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.
Job Grade
Grade: 7 -10
