Gloucester

This is an exciting opportunity for a Systems Engineer to join a growing engineering team in Gloucester. Working on cutting‑edge aerospace programmes, you will play a key role in the development, analysis and validation of aircraft landing gear systems, supporting everything from research and technology projects through to full product development and in‑service support.

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer with a passion for systems analysis, simulation and integration to contribute to innovative solutions within a highly regulated and technically challenging environment.

As a Systems Engineer, you will work across complex mechanical and hydraulic aircraft systems, helping to ensure products meet performance, safety and certification requirements throughout the development lifecycle.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing computational models and conducting system simulations
• Performing static and dynamic load calculations
• Conducting performance, frequency response, modal and stability analyses
• Investigating shimmy behaviour and failure scenarios
• Correlating and validating models against test data
• Defining and validating system performance requirements
• Creating simulation test cases and establishing pass/fail criteria
• Collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to optimise system designs
• Supporting test activities and interpreting results
• Ensuring delivery against programme schedules, quality standards and cost targets

• Degree (or equivalent qualification) in an Engineering discipline
• Experience in systems modelling, analysis and simulation
• Knowledge of landing gear extension and retraction systems
• Experience analysing shock absorber performance
• Understanding of recoil analysis, system loads generation and model integration
• Experience conducting shimmy and stability analysis
• Proficiency in industry-standard tools such as:
  • MATLAB/Simulink
  • MSC ADAMS
  • AMESim
• Strong understanding of mechanical principles and dynamic system behaviour
• Ability to interpret requirements and translate them into robust engineering solutions

• Hybrid working arrangements.
• Opportunity to work on major aerospace development programmes
• The chance to contribute to the design and development of world‑class aerospace systems
