Landing gear and actuation systems supplier for commercial and defense aircraft
Héroux-Devtek manufactures landing gear and actuation systems for Boeing, Airbus, and defense primes (Gripen, Hawk, KF21 programs). The tech stack is dominated by SAP (ERP backbone plus S/4HANA Cloud migration underway), CAD tools (CATIA, Solidworks), and simulation software (ABAQUS, MATLAB) — a classic aerospace-manufacturing footprint focused on design precision and compliance. Hiring velocity is accelerating across manufacturing and engineering (103 of 155 roles), with repeated pain points around production-cost reduction and machining automation adoption, suggesting capacity constraints on legacy platforms.
Héroux-Devtek is a publicly traded aerospace supplier headquartered in Longueuil, Québec, with facilities across North America and Europe. The company designs, manufactures, and services landing gear, actuation systems, and related components for commercial aircraft (Boeing 777 programs) and defense platforms (Gripen, Hawk, KF21). Operations span manufacturing, engineering, supply-chain, and repair-and-overhaul services. The active project list reflects tier-1 OEM relationships; cost and delivery time remain primary operational tensions, with internal focus on manufacturing-process optimization and regulatory compliance (MRB, AS/EN standards).
