Systems Engineer

Systems Engineer Location: 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, integration, performance and dynamics to contribute to innovative solutions within a highly regulated and technically challenging environment.

What You'll Be Doing

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

What We're Looking For Essential Skills & Experience

• 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

What's on Offer?

• 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

Apply today to be part of a team delivering excellence in Systems Integration & Test.
