We are AMS, a global total workforce solutions firm that enables organisations to thrive in an age of constant change by building, re-shaping, and optimising workforces. Our Contingent Workforce Solution (CWS) acts as an extension of Rolls-Royce's recruitment team, providing professional interim and temporary resources. Rolls-Royce is a respected engineering organisation operating in many sectors including energy, aerospace, marine, and defence, pioneering cutting-edge technologies that deliver clean, safe, and competitive solutions to meet our planet's vital power needs.

Due to exciting change and transformational activities across the Rolls-Royce business, we are seeking to add a number of Systems Design Integration Engineers. As a Systems Engineer, you will extract, understand, and define technical requirements while working alongside stakeholders to develop potential solutions. You will have knowledge in problem resolution, designing and integrating products, both physical and functional systems, performing technical analysis, and defining verification strategies throughout the product lifecycle.

The Systems Design Integration Engineer will be based in Derby 3 days per week, with 2 days spent remote working.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Accountability for the execution of the sub-system design and integration process through APQP and integration of other team members.
• Design of sub-systems using Systems Engineering principles, including Robust Design, Risk Management (FMEA), and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques.
• Supporting the transition to model-based reusable product lines at system, product system, and component level.
• Creation and buy-off of sub-system requirements, and flow down of sub-system technical requirements to the appropriate Component Design and Functional teams.
• Ensuring the technical attributes of the sub-system design meet the agreed requirements on behalf of the Technical Lead and Product System Lead.
• Generating sub-system concepts that comply with both the product requirements and the intent of the sub-system strategy.
• Owning the functional and physical Interface Management.
• Coordinating extended multi-disciplinary teams.
• Integrating technical activities with the Product System level, other sub-systems, and commodity functions.
• Ensuring continuous improvement through effective lessons learned, knowledge capture, and process development.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong background in Systems Engineering, with experience applying APQP, Robust Design, FMEA, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
• Proven experience in requirement management, including creation, validation, and flow-down of sub-system requirements to component and functional teams.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex interface requirements, including ownership of both functional and physical interface management.
• Capability to lead and integrate multi-disciplinary and geographically distributed teams.
• Track record of driving engineering excellence through structured problem-solving, continuous improvement initiatives, and knowledge capture processes.
