This position is being advertised to form a pipeline of candidates for future positions within Rolls-Royce Submarines in Derby , therefore applicants should not expect feedback immediately. However, we will endeavour to review your CV in a timely manner.

Rolls-Royce has an exciting opportunity for a Human Factors Engineer within its Submarines Business.

We’re a leader in propulsion system design and development for the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet and the sole provider and technical authority.

As a member of our Human Factors Team, you will play a key role in the delivery of work packages in support of design and safety assurance programmes for the Royal Navy's current and future nuclear submarine fleet. This will involve undertaking assessments of human interactions with complex systems across the various phases of our product lifecycle, from design and build to plant operation aboard a submarine. Working closely with other specialist areas, you will undertake qualitative and quantitative human factors assessments, provide sound ergonomic design advice and make clear recommendations to assure design for safe operation. As somebody who can integrate within engineering teams and possesses the ability to interpret engineering design solutions, you will drive to ensure that Human Factors is at the heart of a safe and operable system.

You will be interfacing with the safety and engineering teams to ensure the incorporation of Human Factors requirements in design. You will prepare Human Factors documentation demonstrating the role of the operator in maintaining safe operation. You will be undertaking Human Factors assessments such as task analysis to inform design and support both qualitative and quantitative human error assessment. You will be planning and conducting user trials to assess developing design and optimise user interaction. You will develop and assess Human Machine Interface (HMI). You will apply anthropometry and assessment of spatial layout design including working with 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools.

Who we are looking for :

At Rolls-Royce we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviours and are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

Degree level in Human Factors and Ergonomics (Msc) Currently recognised or aspiring to become a Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF) A demonstrable ability to work in multidisciplinary teams to tight deadlines. An understanding of the role of Human Factors in complex and safety-critical systems. The ability to provide clear, concise and accurate assessments and to communicate ideas and important issues clearly, both in writing and verbally. Appreciation of the role of Human Factors and human reliability as part of safety cases would be an advantage. Experience in the design or operation of Naval Reactor Plant.

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.
