Landing Gear Design Engineer

Working across our engineering teams and external partners, you’ll contribute to or take ownership of:

• →

  Managing partners, consultancies and suppliers to deliver technical solutions, setting clear expectations and resolving engineering issues.

• →

  Developing design solutions that meet challenging requirements for weight, safety, maintainability and manufacturability.

• →

  Contributing to design reviews, tolerance analysis and configuration management.

• →

  Supporting trade studies and programme maturity gates.

• →

  Preparing verification and certification evidence.

• →

  Preparing and reviewing drawings and technical reports, with delegated signatory responsibilities where appropriately authorised.

• →

  Supporting the build and maintenance of our demonstrator aircraft.

We’re interested in your engineering skills, how you apply them and the outcomes you’ve delivered. We’re looking for:

• Demonstrated experience managing engineering suppliers, including setting technical requirements, monitoring progress and resolving issues to ensure delivery.

• Experience in landing gear, brake, hydraulic and/or comparable mechanical system design.

• A sound understanding of mechanical engineering principles and a practical approach to design challenges.

• Experience contributing to one or more stages of the product development lifecycle.

• The ability to take ownership of engineering tasks, solve problems and exercise sound technical judgement.

• Experience using CATIA and 3DEXPERIENCE, or transferable skills from comparable CAD tools.

• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise and complete detailed work.

• Clear communication and effective collaboration across engineering disciplines.

Experience leading wider technical activities, coordinating others or holding delegated signatory authority is welcome, but isn’t essential.
