Job description

Performance and Dynamics Engineer Location: Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom Join to apply for the Performance and Dynamics Engineer role at Safran. Company Overview We are a global leader in aircraft landing and braking systems, from commercial and business travel to military and defence fleets. Our expertise covers the entire life cycle of our products from end-to-end: design, manufacturing, maintenance and repair. We're at the forefront of aerospace technology, creating safer, more sustainable aviation for the next generation of aerospace. It's easy to take flying for granted, or forget the incredible amount of technical skills, capability and co-ordination required to create an aircraft. At Safran, we never take it for granted. Our people's talents and skills come together to make the feat of flying possible. Here, you can create an impact you're proud of, where you're rewarded for your dedication and willingness to learn. Benefits

• We value your time: We have an early finish on a Friday, giving you time to recharge.

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.

• Multi-body dynamic modelling and simulation
• Recoil analysis
• Shimmy and stability analysis
