Descripción de la vacante

Airbus in Filton seeks a Landing Gear Design Engineer to transform early-stage concepts into practical mechanical designs. You will develop 3D CAD models, perform spatial packaging studies and support kinematic analyses within a cross-functional team.

Working 80% in a hybrid setup, you will collaborate with senior engineers to translate research concepts into layout options, ensuring design principles meet manufacturing constraints and project timelines.

Formación

• Three to five years' hands‑on experience using major parametric 3D CAD software.
• CATIA or 3DX design experience.
• Mechanical and structural design experience.
• A practical understanding of kinematics and digital mock‑ups.
• Experience of spatial integration, interface management and packaging components within restricted geometric envelopes.
• Strong engineering fundamentals, including mechanics, materials, tolerance stack‑ups and manufacturing constraints.
• Experience converting initial requirements or research concepts into structured 3D layout options.
• The ability to take a concept from initial brief through to a completed 3D study with minimal supervision.
• A structured approach to solving technical problems and evaluating design trade‑offs.
• Clear communication skills, with the ability to present technical concepts to project stakeholders.
• Previous experience within aerospace engineering or landing gear design.
• Experience gained in automotive or another complex engineering product‑design environment.
• Exposure to research and development or early‑stage concept design activities.
• Experience collaborating with manufacturing, testing and systems engineering teams.

Responsabilidades

• Creating and developing early-stage 3D CAD models and mechanical design layouts
• Leading spatial packaging, envelope and component allocation studies
• Carrying out kinematic assessments and developing digital mock-ups
• Supporting active research and development projects with initial trade-off and feasibility assessments
• Producing parametric 3D models, basic assembly structures and supporting technical documentation
• Translating broad project requirements into clear layout options and practical design solutions
• Supporting the definition and application of design principles, standards and best practice
• Working with testing, manufacturing and systems teams to resolve interface and geometric conflicts
• Evaluating technical and spatial trade-offs where design constraints compete
• Presenting CAD concepts, design recommendations and technical updates to relevant stakeholders
