Control Systems Engineer

Job Description

Control Systems Engineer

The Controls Systems Engineer shall specify, design and validate complex sub-systems, including high-level requirements for the software and / or hardware system components, this will include creation of mathematical models and simulations of control and actuation systems. You will be responsible for the on time delivery and quality of the controls sub-system and the artefacts associated with the design, verification and validation of the system. This shall be achieved through decomposition of designs and development of tests, analysis to ensure that the system implementation satisfies the validated requirements.

To ensure we continue to be pioneers of our industry, Rolls-Royce has a team of over 16,500 engineers around the globe. They include everyone from world experts in their field to those who manage hundreds of people and millions of pounds worth of investments. We recruit engineers at all levels and in a range of disciplines. And while we encourage specialisation, we also offer freedom to cross-specialise and develop skills across a number of different areas.

Key Accountabilities:

• Captures applicable design constraints (must meet conditions) and quality attributes (may be traded) that apply to the control and instrumentation system.
• Designs and implements the control and instrumentation system to meet the high level requirements and design constraints/standards. Allocate control and instrumentation system requirements to test vehicles defined in the verification plan.
• Analyses the control and instrumentation system for functional behaviour, which may include modelling and simulation to demonstrate that the design meets the high level requirements. Develops and reviews control system tests that will provide evidence to demonstrate that the control system requirements have been satisfied
• May be required to develop, implement, document, and maintain policies, procedures, associated guidelines, tools and training as required.
• Develops the knowledge required to provide advice to project teams and be able to create, search, and reuse knowledge with some guidance from established practitioners.
• Designs sub-systems to meet the functional requirements and design constraints by analysis and translation of customer requirements into a set of validated functional requirements for the system or sub-systems. Creates and validates complex high-integrity mathematical models of control and actuation systems.

Key Skills& Experience:

• Working knowledge of domain plant and platform interfaces, component technology and behaviour during normal and abnormal operation, verification vehicles, controls design, system architecture, software and/or hardware architecture, and software and hardware development process constraints.
• Proficient in design and analysis tools. This can included an appreciation of the tools and what can be achieved through them.
• Professional courage to highlight areas of concern and risk with regard to suitability of a product to meet its requirements in a safe and functionally appropriate way.
• An ability to interpret test results and provide an informed opinion or conclusion as to the outcome of the analysis. This includes an understanding of measurement uncertainty.
• Good time management skills able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment. Dynamically respond to evolving objectives and emerging opportunities while working in coordination with a multidisciplinary, energetic team of engineers and scientists.
• Able to research application issues and products by being outward focussed and able to seek solutions/information from outside of immediate area, including suppliers, universities, customers, related industries

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