Onsite – Torrance, CA

Moog Military Aircraft Group has an immediate opening for a Supply Chain Manufacturing Engineer. Reporting to the Supplier Quality & Development Manager. This on-site position is based in Torrance, CA (Los Angeles area) and offers a 9/80 work schedule.

As Moog expands the volume of components sourced through our external Supply Chain, we are strengthening our Manufacturing Engineering team to ensure suppliers can deliver high-quality parts at customer demand rates. Our Manufacturing Engineers play a critical role throughout the product lifecycle—from early design influence and supplier selection to process development, capability analysis, and ongoing risk mitigation.

This role partners closely with cross-functional teams and suppliers to establish stable, capable, and compliant manufacturing processes as parts transition from internal production to our global supply base.

As a Supply Chain Manufacturing Engineer, you will:

• Support the manufacturing of complex machining, gear, and motor components within the supplier network.
• Conduct part risk assessments and drive mitigation plans with suppliers.
• 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 data-based 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%.

• Bachelor's degree in manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, or a related Engineering discipline with 3+ years of manufacturing engineering experience
• 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

It would be great if you had:

• Experience with NX & Team Center
• Previous experience with creating manufacturing processes for aerospace components with gears and/or splines
• Knowledge of gears/splines manufacturing processes
