Work Schedule
Hybrid – Tewkesbury, GBR
Moog Aircraft Group is looking for a full-time Senior NPI Engineer to join our business as a valued member of an established engineering team within the Product Development department at our Tewkesbury, UK facility.
Candidates are required to have 8 years aerospace engineering experience, with a working understanding of airworthiness requirements and ideally awareness of EASA Part 21 regulations.
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.
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. 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.
