Role Title: Senior C&I Functional Design Engineer

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.

The Control & Instrumentation (C&I) capability at Rolls‑Royce SMR is responsible for defining, designing and delivering the control, protection and automation architecture that underpins safe and efficient operation of the power station. The Functions Control and Automation team sits at the heart of this, defining the plant’s functional behaviour, control philosophy and system‑level requirements that drive the design of C&I systems across the entire RR SMR plant.

About the Role:

As a Senior C&I Functional Design Engineer, you will lead the development of C&I functional specifications for systems across the RR SMR power station. You will capture, structure and define plant control functions and translate them into implementable system requirements, ensuring clarity, traceability and alignment with plant‑wide objectives.

You will collaborate closely with C&I architects, component owners, system owners, plant system engineers and modelling teams to ensure functional requirements support the plant’s operating philosophy, system interactions and overall design intent. You will take responsibility for packages of work, supporting technical decision‑making and ensuring cross‑disciplinary alignment throughout the design lifecycle.

This role provides the opportunity to shape the behaviour of a next‑generation nuclear power plant, working at the interface between systems engineering, plant operations, safety, modelling and C&I system design.

We’ll Need You To:

Lead the development of C&I functional specifications for systems across the RR SMR plant
Capture, structure and define plant control functions and translate them into implementable system requirements
Support the development of the plant operating philosophy and ensure functional requirements align with overarching plant needs
Develop well‑defined functional designs that articulate complex system interactions and dependencies
Collaborate with C&I architects, system owners, plant engineering teams and modelling & simulation teams
Lead work packages, including work breakdown, planning and delivery
Support technical decision‑making and ensure alignment across multidisciplinary teams
Produce clear functional documentation, diagrams, descriptions and structured design justifications
Contribute to verification and validation of functional designs and requirements
Present functional designs and decisions to technical and non‑technical stakeholders
Mentor and support junior engineers within the C&I function

Key Skills Required:

We know there’s no such thing as the ‘perfect’ candidate. If you meet around 75% of the criteria below, we’d love to hear from you:

Experience of power plant operation and control, or equivalent industrial experience in system/plant control
Strong understanding of control theory and its application to complex systems
Experience producing functional designs and specifications for C&I systems
Knowledge of C&I lifecycle activities including V&V, commissioning and maintenance
Understanding of designing systems resilient to faults (redundancy, diversity, defensive design principles)
Knowledge of key C&I standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 61513 and IEC 61226, or equivalents from other safety‑critical industries
Strong systems engineering capability, including requirements management, interface management and structured problem‑solving
Experience with MBSE and requirements tools such as Capella (preferred), DOORS or Polarion
Excellent communication skills, able to present technical information clearly to internal and external stakeholders, including regulators
Strong stakeholder management skills and proven ability to work collaboratively across disciplines
Ability to provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers
Degree in electrical, control, instrumentation, systems engineering or related technical discipline (or equivalent experience)

We welcome applicants from a wide range of regulated, safety‑critical industries.

Location:

Hybrid working with one of the following as your primary site:
Derby, Manchester or Warrington.

Salary and Package:

The salary band for this will be between £53,700–£70,500 dependent on the skills, values and knowledge you bring. There may be some flexibility with the starting salary in exceptional cases, and there is potential for future progression.

Benefits include:

Bonus – Performance‑related target opportunity 12.5%
Benefits Allowance – £2,200 per annum for a bespoke package
Pension – 12% employer and 6% employee contributions
Holidays – 28 days (+ public holidays) with ability to buy or sell up to 4 days
Private Medical Insurance – BUPA single cover
Life Assurance – 6× pensionable pay
Home Office Support – £250 one‑off payment for new starters

You’ll be joining a forward‑thinking organisation that values transparency, fairness and innovation. We offer a flexible, inclusive and supportive working environment, opportunities for career growth in a rapidly scaling business, and a culture that values diversity, collaboration and continuous learning.

Selection Process:

The closing date for this role is 5th July 2026. The process will begin with an introductory call with the Talent Acquisition Partner, with interviews being able to take place straight away.

Pay Range:

£50,600.00

£66,465.00

Why Join Us?

You’ll be joining a forward-thinking organisation that values transparency, fairness, and innovation. We offer:

A flexible, inclusive, and supportive working environment.
Opportunities for career growth in a rapidly scaling business.
A culture that values diversity, innovation, and continuous learning.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds. Inclusivity is important to us, and as a Disability Confident organisation, we are committed to fair, supportive, and continually improving recruitment practices that ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we'll let you in on a secret: there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. If you feel you meet 75% of the requirements for this role, we would love to hear from you.

Also, if you are considering a career move or a sector-jump, please get in touch – we welcome applications from people with transferable skills.
