Our Software Systems teams are responsible for developing the control, monitoring and software solutions that enable safe, reliable and high-performing aerospace products. These teams work across the full engineering lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through to development, verification and deployment.

We are interested in hearing from engineers with experience in software development, controls engineering, systems integration and model-based design.

What you could be working on

  • Control & Monitoring Systems

  • Control Systems Design

  • Embedded Software Development

  • Systems Modelling & Simulation

  • Software Verification & Validation

  • Software Architecture

  • Systems Integration

  • Safety-Critical Software Development

What we're looking for

  • Software, Controls, Electronics or Engineering degree (or equivalent experience)

  • Experience developing software or control systems

  • Understanding of systems architecture and integration

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Experience within regulated or safety-critical environments is advantageous

Why join Rolls-Royce?

At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

By joining Rolls-Royce, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.

Apply

If you have experience in software engineering, controls engineering or systems development and would like to contribute to future Rolls-Royce Defence programmes, we would be pleased to hear from you.

Our vision is to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that shaped our history continues into our future. Our multi-year transformation programme aims to turn Rolls-Royce into a high-performing, competitive, resilient and growing company. Join us, and it can be your future vision too.

Rolls-Royce are committed to being a respectful, inclusive, and non-discriminatory workplace where individuality is valued, diverse perspectives fuel innovation, and everyone can thrive.

To work for the Rolls-Royce Defence Early Life Cycle business an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently already have this in place.

Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.

As part of our selection process, candidates in certain locations may be asked to complete an online assessment, which can include cognitive and behavioural aptitude testing relevant to the role. If required, full instructions for the next steps will be provided.
