Mechanical Integrity Specialist; Stress, Lifing, or Rotor Dynamics

Mechanical Integrity Specialist

Mechanical Integrity Specialists ensure the integrity of our products. You will work across a wide variety of commodities from critical parts (e.g. Discs, Blisks, Shafts and High-Pressure Casings) through blades and vanes to structures and installation components. Depending on the specialty, you will predict the mechanical behavior of components and sub-systems considering various failure mechanisms (e.g. proof, ultimate, fatigue (low & high cycle), creep, flutter, damping, mistuning etc.)

and contributing factors (e.g. vibration, thermal induced loads, inherent manufacturing anomalies, corrosion, extreme operating conditions such as over-speed etc.).

What You Will Be Doing

• Perform analytical assessments (stress, lifing and/or rotor dynamics) to support new design concepts, evaluate production variance, and maintain support to in-service operations.
• Complete test planning and analysis
• Serve as a technical focal point within a program or set of programs for all whole system level mechanical integrity issues
• Facilitate teamwork between many disciplines (i.e.
  
  - manufacturing, quality, engineering, product support, etc.).
• Communicate technical and business results via reports and presentations to senior engineers both within and external to Rolls-Royce.
• Initiate and execute work packages to address emerging technical challenges relating to the structural behavior of current and future Rolls-Royce products

Who We're Looking For:

• A Bachelor's degree in Engineering with 5+ years of related experience OR;
• A Master's degree in Engineering with 3+ years of related experience OR
• JD/PhD
• In order to be considered for this opportunity, you must be a US Citizen

Preferred Requirements:

• Previous experience building and running stress, lifing or rotor dynamics simulations
• Experience with a variety of FEA codes including ANSYS, SC03 and AU3D
• Programming skills such as Visual Basic, MATLAB, Python, PERL, C++
• Analytical ability to deal with challenging engineering problems and to determine root cause and corrective action
• Interpersonal skills to work effectively in a team environment; willingness to accept responsibility and take initiative
• Ability to plan and coordinate assigned work with other groups and drive to finish assigned tasks on schedule

What We Offer

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonuses, employee support assistance and employee discounts.
