Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics Analytical Engineering Opportunities

Full Time- On-site

Derby;

Why Rolls-Royce?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics Analytical Engineers to join Rolls-Royce Team in Derby.

Our submarines business is responsible for the design, manufacture, supply and through-life support of nuclear propulsion plants to provide pioneering power to the Royal Navy's submarine fleet. You can find out more about the amazing projects that we are working on here:

Join us and we’ll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive, digital-first culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career.

Rolls-Royce Submarines are the UK thought leader for nuclear thermal hydraulics; we employ cutting edge analytical methods today, are championing the development of next generation methods for the future with academia, and have unique experimental testing capabilities. Thermal hydraulics is a pivotal part of the design and safety of each of our nuclear propulsion plants, and is central to the success of many other functions and disciplines.

The core thermal hydraulics team works to assess the performance and safety of the reactor core, by ensuring adequate heat transfer throughout its operational life; here analysis is undertaken to develop and optimise core designs, substantiate their thermal performance, and to support manufacturing campaigns. Teams within plant performance undertake a wide range of thermal hydraulic analyses ranging from detailed predictions of heat transfer in individual components using 3D computational fluid dynamics so that their operational life can be accurately assessed, to 1D systems code models of an entire plant to predict overall performance and ensure its safe operation. This gives rise to a wide range of exciting and interesting workstreams involving fluid dynamics and heat transfer with important real world applications.

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

What you will be doing:

You will be involved in all aspects of thermal hydraulic analyses of our products, with opportunities to rotate through the wide variety of our different methods and their applications:

Developing and implementing thermal hydraulic models of various levels of fidelity. Undertaking verification and validation activities of thermal hydraulic models, in some cases interacting with the Experimental Engineering Team who undertake testing using onsite rigs. Developing production analysis methods, including automation, data assimilation and uncertainty quantification. Conducting technical analysis of the core, plant, and specific components in support of safety cases. Supporting design and manufacture through bespoke thermal hydraulic assessments of our existing and future products. Connecting with other centres of thermal hydraulic knowledge and skills such as our industry partner, civil nuclear and academia.

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.

Thermal hydraulic engineering opportunities are available at all levels from those expecting to graduate in the near-future to experienced senior engineers, with the specifics of each role tailored to the successful candidate. We’re looking for candidates with:

Experience in thermal hydraulics, fluid dynamics and heat transfer. A strong academic background with a relevant degree (undergraduate, masters, or PhD) in engineering, physics or a scientific subject. An analytical mindset, critical thinking and attention to detail. The ability to communicate effectively with any audience, quickly establishing credibility and buy-in. A willingness to learn from others and collaborate to achieve wider goals.

For all the candidates applying for this role; We kindly request you to attach your cover letter answering the following questions:

Why ( based on your technical experience / skills in thermo-fluids /thermo-dynamics /fluid mechanics ) have you chosen to apply for this role? How can you apply this experience and knowledge to the challenges and example analyses listed in the job application?

Thank you very much.

We’re 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 who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.

You can learn more about our global inclusion strategy at

To work for Rolls-Royce Submarines you need to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats to that clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you don’t currently already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, you must hold a UK nationality. Any dual nationals will require additional scrutiny and background checks prior to commencing work with RRSL.
