  • Responsible for identifying existing and/or conceptual landing gear systems to meet requirements, creating 3D models and layouts, and performing trade studies to analyze the impact of integrating proposed mechanisms systems onto aircraft, as well as identify main driver variables that most significantly impact top level program requirements.
  • Responsible for supporting the supplier management team by being the primary technical interface between NGAS and landing gear supplier subject matter experts.
  • Participate in internal program, customer and supplier technical exchange meetings and formal program milestone reviews to provide and/or obtain progress status updates.
  • Provide technical guidance to, and coordinate with, multiple engineering design teams, including the aircraft configuration team, the structures team, sub-systems team, and supplier management teams supporting the conceptual, preliminary, and detail design and development of the aircraft.


The successful candidate will be a self-starter, well-organized with good problem-solving skills, able to perform effectively despite concurrent work tasks and will possess strong communication, leadership, team coordination and mentoring skills. The successful candidate will also thrive in the advanced design environment and be able to react and quickly adapt to changes in aircraft configuration (including, but not limited to, structural layouts, aircraft weight, landing speeds, etc.) to identify existing and/or develop new landing gear systems to satisfy program requirements.
