Direct message the job poster from Rolls-Royce

When you join as a Product Definition Engineer in our Digital Design and Industrialisation (DD&I) team in Rolls-Royce Group Engineering, Technology & Safety (ET&S). You’ll be responsible for producing and checking component definitions (such as Model Based Definitions - MBDs) in line with engineering standards to meet design intent. You’ll ensure components satisfy fit, form, and function requirements while being optimised for manufacture.

This is a key role supporting our wider engineering transformation and digitalisation strategy — enabling efficiencies in design, manufacture, and lifecycle management. Whether you're looking to grow your technical expertise or make a real impact in our automation workstreams, this role offers long-term development and visibility across the business.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be delivering critical product definition support throughout the full engineering lifecycle:

• Preparing and maintaining 3D master CAD models, Model Based Definitions (MBDs) and technical drawings to meet engineering standards and downstream requirements.
• Working collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure component definitions are aligned with design intent and manufacturability.
• Producing tolerance stack-ups to support new product validation and in-service investigations.
• Managing and incorporating Drawing Alteration Requests (DARs), concessions and continuous design updates.
• Supporting the delivery of the DD&I Automation Strategy (including MBD and High-Value Digital Design) and championing continuous improvement across tools, methods, and standards.

Why Rolls-Royce?

You’ll be joining our Group Engineering, Technology & Safety (ET&S) business area – the central function driving engineering innovation and excellence across Rolls-Royce.

Work with us and we’ll welcome you into a culture of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. We will listen first, embrace feedback and act with integrity. We will invest in your continuous learning and development, and make sure you have access to a wide breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career and make a difference.

What we offer

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include a performance-related bonus, employee support assistance and a range of employee discounts.

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, with an average of three days per week.

Who we’re looking for

Being a part of Rolls-Royce means living our behaviours — putting safety first, doing the right thing, keeping it simple and making a difference. These values underpin everything we do and form a core part of how we assess talent for this and all roles.

You’ll need to demonstrate:

• Proficiency in Siemens NX and Teamcenter (Or similar CAD and PLM tools).
• Experience using ISO/British Standard and/or ASME Y14.5M drawing standards.
• Degree qualification in a STEM subject and relevant experience in an engineering environment (equivalent experience will also be considered).
• Strong technical, analytical and problem-solving skills, with a systems-level mindset.
• Experience in conceptual/detail design, design definition methods, and understanding of manufacturing processes.

To work for Rolls-Royce you may need to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats for some roles. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, for some roles you must hold a UK nationality.

We are 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 the opportunity to realise their full potential.
