Job Title:
Senior Engineer
Reporting To:
Engineer Sr., Project
Work Schedule:
Hybrid – Tewkesbury, GBR
Moog Aircraft Group is looking for a full-time Senior Engineer to join our business as a valued member of an established engineering team within the Product Development department at our Tewkesbury, UK facility.
The Product Development Engineering team leads new product development from initial concept design through to certification of mechanical hardware for use in aircraft applications. We work on a range of high-profile military and commercial aerospace programmes, providing electrohydraulic components for flight control and engine control applications.
We have moved into a state-of-the-art facility where we have direct access to the latest engineering design technologies such as design modelling software, stress FEA and CFD analysis software with associated high-performance computing, prototype manufacturing (3D printing and traditional manufacturing capability), and bespoke in-house development and environmental performance testing. The position supports the opportunity for training and development within these areas. Applicants should have a strong desire to work hands-on with the designed and developed hardware, supporting development build and testing during the various phases of a programme.
In this role, you will be responsible for leading/supporting complex technical assignments or programmes, acting as the engineering focal point in support of design and analysis activities. This will involve working on high-pressure hydraulic components with lightly damped mechanical assemblies where an understanding of hydraulic performance is required. You will guide the evolution of the conceptual design, technical project planning, cost estimates, detail design, and development testing. This requires occasional travel and the organisation of presentations to customers.
The nature of this role is extremely varied but with a bias towards component design, performance, validation, and project planning. This position will likely suit an individual who is proven to have a range of problem-solving skills in the field of project engineering and is prepared to turn their hand to new challenges.

Key Responsibilities & Essential Skills and Experience

• Ability to perform engineering tasks across a product development process (APQP).
• Can understand customer specifications and translate requirements into compliance statements and validation test procedures.
• Coordinate and support development test work in validating product performance (typical tests: static, fatigue, vibration, thermal, fluid dynamics, etc.).
• Report writing, presenting, and communicating technical work to engineers and non-technical individuals both internally and externally.
• Problem-solving skills and familiarity with 8D and DMAIC methods.
• Ensures successful completion of tasks and projects within budgeted time and cost constraints.
• Personally helps to solve/own difficult technical problems.
• Reviews technical feasibility of proposed solutions to engineering problems, leading trade study activities to gather required evidence, as needed.
• Provide technical leadership within programmes and assignments.
• Ability to delegate tasks clearly while being responsible for the quality of delivered work packages.
• Acts as an ambassador to the company, capable of considering commercial positioning without compromising safety or integrity.
• Eight or more years of relevant experience.

Desirable Skills and Experience

• Mechanical engineering experience and training.
• Problem-solving and investigation skills.
• Familiarity with Mathcad Prime.
• Proficiency in numerical analysis software.
• Advanced MS Office user (focused on MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Excel).
• Interpretation of engineering drawings, working knowledge of GD&T requirements, and experience with CAD software, preferably Siemens NX or equivalent.
• Analysis and report checking, signatory rights in previous positions would be desirable.
• Understanding of Project Management and MS Project.
• Knowledge and understanding of aerospace materials and a good understanding of the influence of manufacturing processes on the strength and cost of components.
• Leadership and mentor qualities to influence, support, and empower junior engineers in areas of expertise.
• A degree in Engineering is highly desirable, though not essential.
