# Landing Gear Engineer

Reports to: Director, Aircraft Systems Type: Full-Time The Role Dominion Scout is Canada's first autonomous collaborative platform (ACP) - a clean-sheet, sovereign aircraft built to operate in Canadian and Arctic conditions, with a support footprint well below a crewed fighter fleet. Landing gear takes the hardest loads the aircraft sees, packs into the tightest space on the airframe, and has to deploy every time, on northern runways, with no pilot onboard to work around a fault on approach. You take Scout's landing gear from requirements to a qualified, assembled system: structure, extension and retraction, shock absorption, brakes, and nose-wheel steering. The demonstrator reuses proven, flight-worthy components wherever possible, so a large part of the job is selecting, integrating, and qualifying the right hardware with suppliers, then getting it built, tested and flown. What You'll Do Design and integrate the landing gear system - structures, kinematics, extension/retraction mechanisms, shock absorbers, brakes, and nose-wheel steering control. Run trade studies and evaluate static and dynamic loads, shimmy, fatigue, and damage tolerance for landing gear components. Derive sy
