Join Moog's Product Development team and help design, develop and qualify the next generation of flight-critical aerospace systems. Working on military and commercial aircraft programmes, you'll take ownership of complex engineering challenges from concept through to qualified hardware that flies worldwide.
Moog Aircraft Group Tewkesbury is seeking a Senior Product Development Engineer .
Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you'll lead the development of innovative aerospace products throughout the product lifecycle.
At Moog Tewkesbury, products progress from raw billet through manufacturing, assembly and testing to flight-ready hardware. Engineers work closely with manufacturing and test teams onsite, giving direct involvement across the full product lifecycle and the opportunity to see ideas become reality.
Due to the hands-on nature of development testing and prototype activity, engineers spend the majority of their time onsite, working directly with our laboratories, manufacturing teams and test facilities.
Why Join us?
As we celebrate 75 years of innovation and excellence ,
we're proud to continue building the future of aerospace and we're looking for exceptional talent to join us on the journey. As a generational company, we invest in people for the future. We build careers that last decades, with a vision to welcome not only you, but future generations of your family.
Our Product Development team works across a diverse range of military and commercial aerospace programmes and benefits from access to:
- Advanced CAD, CFD and FEA analysis tools
- High-performance computing resources
- Rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing facilities
- Bespoke in-house development and environmental testing equipment
- Collaborative multidisciplinary engineering teams
- Opportunities to work directly with customers and influence future product development
This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who enjoys tackling challenging technical problems, taking ownership of complex projects, and seeing products progress from initial concepts to certified aerospace hardware.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Senior Product Development Engineer, you will act as a technical focal point across product development programmes, providing engineering leadership throughout the development lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning the technical development of aerospace products from early concept through to flight qualification,
- Translating customer requirements into robust engineering solutions, along with customer facing activities
- Supporting the design and development of high-performance electrohydraulic aerospace components.
- Coordinating technical activities and engineering deliverables to support successful product development.
- Leading technical investigations and problem-solving activities to resolve complex engineering challenges.
- Coordinating development and qualification testing.
