We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Electrical System Architect to play a pivotal role in the development of the Rolls-Royce Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Electrical Power System. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge nuclear programme, where you will be responsible for shaping the electrical architecture from concept through to implementation.
Working within a dynamic and forward-thinking team, you will help define system requirements, oversee critical technology development, and engage with key stakeholders including regulators, suppliers, and customers. If you are driven by technical excellence and thrive in a highly regulated, safety-critical environment, we want to hear from you.
The Novel Nuclear and Special Projects Electrical Control and Instrumentation (EC&I) Team are developing the Electrical Power System for the Rolls-Royce AMR and the Electrical System Architect will take a leading role in this development.
As technology evolves, the hunger for secure energy grows with it. Our deployable Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs) will provide off-grid power to data centres, defence locations, remote industries or communities, and marine applications.
Why Rolls-Royce?
Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world, with over a century of innovation. We design, build, and service systems that provide critical power where safety and reliability are paramount.
We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting, and connecting people everywhere.
We offer an inclusive, innovative culture that invests in your growth and allows you to make a difference. We provide excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and benefits including bonuses, employee support assistance, and discounts.
What you will be doing:
* Capture and agree relevant high-level electrical requirements.
* Define design constraints and quality attributes.
* Translate requirements into an architecture for the AMR Electrical Power System, considering defence-in-depth, single failure criteria, and other safety and reliability factors.
* Make design decisions relating to electrical subsystems.
* Define and oversee development of critical technologies.
* Implement standards, regulations, and best practices.
* Conduct technical reviews and support project gates.
* Engage with external organizations including regulators, customers, and suppliers.
Who we're looking for:
* Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
* Knowledge of electrical design codes and standards such as BS EN IEC 63046 and IEEE 15288.
* Experience in electrical power systems and components.
* Membership or working towards membership of a professional engineering institution.
* Experience in the nuclear industry or regulated environments is desirable.
* Proven experience in leading design solutions from concept to detailed design.
We are committed to diversity and inclusion. To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines business, applicants must hold or be supported to obtain a Security Check clearance, and must be UK nationals or dual nationals in MoD-approved cases.
