• Review and validate manufacturing processes to ensure compliance with engineering drawings and specifications.
• Collaborate with internal engineering teams to understand and communicate design intent.
• Recommend tooling, processes, and inspection methods to improve supplier performance.
• Assess supplier manufacturing capabilities and provide technical support to resolve issues.
• Review manufacturing specifications and provide guidance to ensure proper application.
• Identify manufacturability concerns on new designs and drive databased feedback to design engineering.
• Recommend product or process improvements to reduce risk and defect potential.
• Lead and participate in DFX/DFMA activities for new products.
• Review and approve PPAP submissions for accuracy and completeness.
• Create and support PFMEA activities with suppliers.
• Conduct Gage R&R and MSA evaluations with Moog and supplier teams.
• Analyze process capability data and drive improvement where needed.
• Support Moog's Zero-Defect journey using AS9145 methodologies.
• Travel up to 35%.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, or a related Engineering discipline with 3+ years of manufacturing engineering experience or 7+ years of equivalent hands-on experience for non-degreed candidates.
• Strong working knowledge of turning, milling, OD/, surface grinding, and jig grinding processes.
• Experience machining aerospace materials including carbon steels, stainless steels, carburizing and nitriding steels, and aluminum alloys.
• Solid understanding of heat treatment, plating, non-destructive testing (NDT), and aerospace painting processes.
• Proficiency in 3D modeling best practices and principles.
• Advanced ability to interpret and create engineering drawings, including expert-level application of GD&T.
• Hands-on experience with inspection methods, tools, and best practices to ensure conformance and quality.
• Proven experience using root cause analysis tools (5 Whys, Fishbone, etc.) to drive corrective actions and improve yield on low-performing or non-conforming processes.
