Landing Gear Dynamics Engineer

About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced Landing Gear Dynamics Engineer to join a growing engineering team supporting the development analysis and verification of advanced landing gear systems. This role will focus on multibody dynamics modelling simulation and analysis supporting the full engineering lifecycle from concept development through to customer demonstrations and design reviews.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in dynamic systems analysis and multibody simulation using industry-standard tools to assess the performance stability and behaviour of landing gear systems in complex operational environments.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on technically challenging aerospace programmes within a collaborative engineering environment contributing to the development of high-integrity engineering solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain multibody dynamics models for landing gear systems and associated mechanical assemblies.
• Perform dynamic simulations and analyses to evaluate system performance loads stability and behaviour throughout operational scenarios.
• Support design activities through the interpretation of simulation results and provision of engineering recommendations.
• Produce technical reports analysis documentation and verification evidence to support engineering requirements.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams including systems structural mechanical and integration engineers.
• Support technical reviews including Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs) and customer-facing engineering demonstrations.
