Would you like to be involved in the design and delivery of submarine power, generation and distribution for the Successor Programme? We currently have a vacancy for a Principal Engineer – Power at either of our sites in Barrow-in-Furness OR Filton, Bristol.

As a Principal Engineer – Power, you will be liaising with customers to ensure technical requirements and design standards are fully specified and liaising with relevant design authorities and internal stakeholders.

This role will involve supervising undergraduates or young persons assigned for training to assist in the development of their knowledge and skills.

Your main responsibilities as a Principal Engineer – Power will involve:

• Leading and providing electrical design solutions to agreed time, cost and quality to meet project or business milestones
• Conducting activities including feasibility studies, research, design, development and post design services to meet requirements
• Producing outline functional system diagrams
• Preparing design calculations to demonstrate designs meet performance requirements i.e. Load, Volt Drop, Fault Levels or discrimination
• Undertaking power systems modelling and analysis
• Leading technical development studies to verify compliance with design requirements
• Working across project groups to ensure designs meet the required operability, safety, security, compatibility and supportability requirements
• Responsible as the engineering lead for equipment Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs)
• Being the focal point for electrical power design guidance and advice

Your skills and qualifications:

• Degree (Honours) in Electrical or Electronics Engineering or equivalent experience with some accreditation of power theory knowledge

Maritime – Submarines
Our Submarines business has been safely delivering world class submarines to the UK Royal Navy for more than a century.

The Astute class will equip the Royal Navy with its largest and most capable generation of attack submarines. We are responsible for the design, build, test and commissioning of these state-of-the-art vessels. In total, seven boats will make up the fleet, each weighing a mighty 7,400 tonnes.

Dreadnought is the successor to the Vanguard class of nuclear deterrent submarines. We will deliver four submarines to the Royal Navy, with the first submarine entering service in the early 2030s. Dreadnought is widely considered to be one of the world's most complex engineering challenges.

We have sites in Barrow-in-Furness, Filton, Frimley, Ash Vale, Broad Oak and Weymouth, and we pride ourselves on employing the best professionals around. Join us and you'll be part of something important; something you can be proud of.
