Mechanical Integrity Specialist (Stress, Lifing, or Rotor Dynamics)
About The Position
Mechanical Integrity Specialists ensure the integrity of our products. You will work across a wide variety of commodities from critical parts (e.g. Discs, Blisks, Shafts and High-Pressure Casings) through blades and vanes to structures and installation components. Depending on the specialty, you will predict the mechanical behavior of components and sub-systems considering various failure mechanisms (e.g. proof, ultimate, fatigue (low & high cycle), creep, flutter, damping, mistuning etc.) and contributing factors (e.g. vibration, thermal induced loads, inherent manufacturing anomalies, corrosion, extreme operating conditions such as over-speed etc.). Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount. We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.
