Do you want to develop and design composite components for future electrical flights?

For over 100 years, Rolls-Royce has been creating groundbreaking products. We are now working to create cleaner and safer solutions that will contribute to net zero emissions by 2050.

The Rolls-Royce site in Trondheim consists of one unite team within different competence groups. Our strong relation to each other and passion to explore new designs has resulted in different unique solutions. These solutions are the basis for our growth, a growth that is only made possible by the people who work here. We have several exciting assignments in the years ahead. To strengthen the team, we are looking for a composite materials engineer.

About the position: Future machines are made of materials where specific properties are utilised in the best way. We aim for compact designs with high strength and low mass, hence composite materials are favourable for some components. Our focus on development of manufacturing processes ensures high and consistent quality for our future products.

As a composite materials engineer you will be responsible for designing, developing and optimizing composite structures and components for high-performance application. The role requires a strong understanding of composite materials, manufacturing processes (preferable filament winding), structural analysis, and testing methodologies. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, materials, R&D and external suppliers to ensure innovative and cost-effective composite solutions. You may also be involved in build planning and work related to verification of our digital models through prototyping and physical testing of sub-systems.

We are looking for a highly skilled person who has practical understanding of composite structures combined with higher education and a drive to solve complex challenges with a passion for pushing boundaries of innovation. We encourage you to apply even if not all the qualifications are met.

Qualifications:

·        M.Sc. in materials, mechanical or structural engineering

·        Modelling skills using NX or similar CAD tool

·        Simulation skills on composites using ANSYS or similar simulation tool

·        High competency on material mechanics and behaviour of composite structures

·        Hands-on experience with prototype development and validation.

·        Manufacturing knowledge of composite structures, like filament winding, roll wrapping and automated fibre placement.

·        Good at documenting and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

·        Problem solving skills to address design, production and material challenges.

·        Knowledge of composite failure modes, creep and fatigue behaviour.

Personal characteristics:

·        Ability to adapt and see solutions to new challenges.

·        Take ownership of problems and strive for quality on every level.

·        Curious and theoretically strong

·        Proactive and self-propelling

·        Desire to and capable of working in teams, but able to work independently

·        Work well with others and help contribute to a positive team spirit

·        Share information and experience willingly

·        Has structured and orderly working methods

·        Is focused on quality and process control

·        Good communication skills both in Norwegian and English

We can offer:

·        An opportunity to develop new products for one of the strongest brands in corporate history

·        A team that is committed to make each other shine

·        The chance to work with one of the world’s largest and most innovative development teams focusing on electric machines, drives and controls.

·        A position with access to a large organization full of career opportunities

·        An agile and engaged working environment

·        Favourable pension and insurance

·        Flexible working hours
