JOB SUMMARY

Moog Aircraft Group is looking for a full time Senior Mechanical Engineer to join as a valued team member in an established engineering team within the Product Development department at our Tewkesbury UK facility.
The Product Development Engineering team lead new product development from initial concept design through to certification of hardware for use on aircraft applications. We work on a range of military and high-profile 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: stress FEA and CFD analysis software with associated high-performance computing, prototype manufacture (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.
In this role, you’ll be working on high pressure hydraulic components and with lightly damped mechanical assemblies where an appreciation of hydraulic performance and associated load conditions would be desirable. You will be supporting the growth of the analysis function within the Product Development team, this covers a broad range of engineering skill sets (Stress, CFD, Magnetic Modelling, Fluid Mechanics & Performance Modelling).
The nature of this role is extremely varied but with a bias towards stress analysis. This position will likely suit an individual who is keen to develop a range of problem-solving skills in the analytical fields of engineering and is prepared to turn their hand to new challenges.

DESIRABLE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

Familiarity in Mathcad Prime
Proficiency in a numerical analysis software, preferably ANSYS Workbench, Siemens NX or equivalent.
Advanced MS Office user (focused on MS Word, MS Excel).
Familiar with linear and non-linear analysis techniques
Vibration and thermal analyses of metallic structures.
Experience with computational calculation methods for fluid flow or magnetic modelling.
Understanding and developing Methods and Tools of Analysis.
Test correlation activities.
Analysis and report checking, signatory rights in previous positions would be desirable.
Understanding of Project Management and MS Project.
You are likely to have knowledge and understanding of aerospace materials and a good understanding of the influence of manufacturing processes on the strength of components.
Report writing, presenting and communicating technical work to engineers and non-technical individuals.
A degree in Engineering is highly desirable, though not essential

Ability to perform stress analysis with classical calculation methods as well as Finite Element Analysis, make design recommendations, assess part non-conformances, support failure investigations, and produce analysis reports
Coordinate development test work in validating analytical models (typical tests: static, fatigue, vibration, thermal, fluid dynamics etc).
Ensures successful completion of the assigned project phase within the budgeted time and cost constraints.
Seven or more years of relevant experience
