Electro-Mechanical Technician – Production (Cockpit Controls)
About Stirling Dynamics
Stirling Dynamics is recruiting an Electro-mechanical Technician to join the Production team. Due to upcoming projects and continued growth, we are seeking a skilled engineer to become part of our team, which designs, develops, and produces high-end aircraft simulator ‘inceptors’ – pilot-machine interface devices.
Stirling specialises in active controls, producing a range of feature-rich, highly reconfigurable solutions for single or dual (linked) cockpit configurations. Our product portfolio includes:
- Side sticks
- Throttles
- Collectives
- Cyclics
- Tillers
- Pedals
Our controls are:
- Extremely compact
- Fully active
- Cost-effective (low acquisition and through-life costs)
Since the early 1990s, we have pioneered active control technology, achieving several industry and technology firsts. Notably, we supplied the controls for:
- The first ever fully-active fly-by-wire helicopter flight
- The F-35 pilot training simulators
