Role Title: Engineer – Verification & Validation Capability
We are Rolls‑Royce SMR and we’re doing something that’s never been done before. We’re revolutionising an industry. That’s a once‑in‑a‑career opportunity for those excited by such a challenge. This is more than just a job; this is a legacy.
About the Team:
The Verification & Validation (V&V) Capability team is fundamental to the successful delivery of the Rolls‑Royce SMR programme.
The team provides the framework that connects requirements, verification and validation activities, and compliance evidence across the entire engineering lifecycle. Working across engineering disciplines, the team develops and continuously improves the capability, methods, processes and digital tools that enable independent, evidence-led compliance assessments needed to demonstrate that the Rolls‑Royce SMR power station meets its requirements, fulfils stakeholder needs and performs as intended.
The team develops integrated processes, standards, templates and guidance, enhances digital toolsets and automation, builds engineering competence through coaching and subject matter networks, and ensures V&V is effectively integrated with Systems Engineering, Requirements Management, Configuration Management, E3S, Test and Commissioning.
Our mission is simple: to prove that the power station design and implemented solution meets its requirements and satisfies intent in the most efficient and effective way, from first-of-a-kind through to fleet deployment.
About the Role:
As an Engineer – Verification & Validation Capability, you will play a crucial role in ensuring that Rolls‑Royce SMR methods, processes and digital tools are effective, integrated and capable of supporting successful programme delivery.
You will be responsible for creating, developing and maintaining tools and methods that enable the implementation of Design Verification and Product Validation processes. Working closely with engineers, subject matter experts and stakeholders across the business, you will identify user needs, define workflows, implement practical solutions and integrate them into the wider engineering environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a passion for engineering capability development, digital transformation, systems engineering and continuous improvement to influence how verification and validation is delivered across one of the UK's most exciting engineering programmes.
We’ll Need You To:
Develop and maintain methods and digital tools that support Design Verification and Product Validation activities
Identify user requirements and translate them into practical workflows and engineering solutions
Create and maintain integrated digital processes across the engineering lifecycle
Develop guidance, training material and supporting documentation
Deliver training sessions and coach engineers with varying levels of experience
Drive continuous improvement activities and implement lessons learned
Work closely with subject matter experts and other capability engineers to ensure technical excellence
Support the application of best practices and emerging technologies, including automation and AI-enabled solutions
Ensure engineering tools and methods are aligned with programme and quality requirements
Support technical assurance activities across the development organisation
Improve the efficiency, consistency and traceability of V&V activities
Promote adoption of new tools, processes and ways of working across engineering teams
