Moog Space and Defense Group is the premier motion and flow control solutions provider for the following markets: satellites, human-rated space vehicles, launch vehicles, missiles, military ground vehicles, and naval vessels.

Moog in Orrville, OH is a global designer and manufacturer of high performance hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical (EM) actuators for nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, as well as for some of the most demanding industrial applications. Our naval products comply with stringent qualification requirements such as shock, vibration, low acoustic signature, and seawater corrosion resistance, while our industrial products are often designed comply with API, ATEX, or other customer specific requirements.

Moog Orrville is looking for a Design Engineer in the Design Engineering group. You will report to the Engineering Section Head.

In this role, you will play a key part in the design process for new product development of hardware used on military and commercial vehicles and equipment.

Currently, most work for the Design Engineering group in Orrville is in the development of hydraulic actuation equipment for US Navy nuclear submarines with a growing need for electromechanical actuation solutions.
