Rolls-Royce Submarines develops safety critical, complex power and propulsion solutions for use in naval nuclear propulsion applications. We’ve provided power for Royal Navy submarines for over 60 years.

Role

Through a series of long-term placements, project-based work and shorter training courses, you’ll learn essential skills in each stage of the software development lifecycle – everything from software architecture and design, code implementation to verification and validation, methods to analyse complex design problems and digital data analysis.

Day to day, you’ll be developing software solutions for all areas of the company, ensuring you become a flexible, agile software developer, able to meet the needs of the Submarines business.

Training

Over four years, you’ll learn from the expert teams in our Submarines business working on a combination of embedded, real-time safety critical software, analysis software and digital application development.

As well as receiving on-the-job training, you’ll also study for a Nuclear Software Engineering Degree at the University of Derby. Together, this will give you a solid foundation for an exciting future, which could see you becoming a software specialist or leading large-scale projects in systems and software.

Become a Software Engineering Degree Apprentice and that’s exactly what you could be doing. As we develop new solutions to help our company and customers move towards a lower carbon future, the software that controls our power systems will be even more vital. Join our fast-paced and growing Submarines business and help shape our future as well as your own.
