Define and derive system-level requirements for the landing gear system based on CONOPS, aircraft-level requirements and applicable regulations.
Perform system-level functional analysis, including functional decomposition and identification of system interfaces.

Contribute to the definition and development of the landing gear system to achieve the required level of maturity at each aircraft design phase.

Define and manage functional and physical interfaces between the landing gear system and other aircraft systems and structures.

Define system-level verification and validation strategies, including support for ground and flight test campaigns and qualification testing of landing gear equipment and assemblies.

Collaborate with partners and suppliers as a technical interface for landing gear system integration.

Support Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA) and system safety activities in accordance with ARP4754A, ARP4761A and applicable certification requirements.

Support system integration, verification, testing and certification activities.

Engineering degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
5+ years of aerospace experience, with a focus on aircraft retractable landing gear systems.
Experience with systems engineering, including requirements definition, functional analysis and system integration.
