What will I be doing?

In this role you will be working on major programmes within the Systems Engineering team, which will include Research & Technology projects, development programmes and in-service support.

You will be delivering performance and dynamic analysis for the mechanical, hydraulic and occasionally basic electrical systems as they relate to the operation of aircraft, landing gear, shock absorbers, extension/retraction and steering.

You will be able to understand and derive requirements and how these impact the validation and verification of the product utilising standardised methods and tools. Possessing good knowledge of mechanical and hydraulic system products, you will help guide product development to ensure the performance and dynamics of the integrated system meet the program requirements.

What do I need to succeed in the role?

Knowledge of:

• Multi‑body dynamic modelling and simulation
• Recoil analysis
• Shimmy and stability analysis
• Working knowledge of Python, MATLAB/Simulink, MSC ADAMS, MSC EASY5 and AMESim
• Knowledge of nose‑wheel steering analysis, vibration analysis, electrical systems engineering, airworthiness requirements and aircraft systems certification
• Experience on requirements management and DOORS

Educational skills and experience

• A degree, or equivalent, in an Engineering discipline.
