This position requires a full physical which includes bloodwork and pulmonary function testing.
As a Propulsion Systems Engineer, you will:
Lead the overall propulsion design and development necessary to support customer missions, starting from initial conceptual design from high-level customer requirements with a blank sheet of paper, all the way through development, qualification, production, and in some cases, large-scale industrialization for high-rate production.
Lead and/or oversee the detailed systems and fluidic analyses for generating initial conceptual designs, selecting and baselining proper components, and working with Moog's internal and external supply bases to marry component capabilities to distilled-down system level requirements.
Oversee and drive overall detailed design and verification plans for propulsion systems, planning or overseeing the planning of all component, subsystem, and propulsion system level design activity, build process, and test campaigns necessary to demonstrate compliance and deliver a high-quality product to customer requirements.
Mentor and coach other engineers in propulsion systems design.
Be able to work in Teamcenter/NX or comparable CAD application, frequently guiding and directing other engineers to generate conceptual designs/drawings.
Develop new product requirements through consulting with customers and sales personnel and help translate those requirements to actionable engineering development strategies for the product area. Help build and establish contacts with the customer base and be a recognized subject matter expert.
Often support the pursuits and/or provide guidance to other Moog business units.
