Job Title: Manufacturing Engineer – Sliding Head / Precision Machining

Reporting To: Manufacturing Engineering Manager

Work Schedule: Onsite – Tewkesbury, GBR

At Moog Commercial Aircraft Group Tewkesbury, we’re looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to play a key role in shaping how complex, precision-machined aerospace components are brought into production.
This isn’t just a support role — you’ll influence design for manufacture, define machining strategy, and drive process capability across a technically demanding, high-spec environment.
You’ll work closely with design, quality, and operations teams, contributing to New Product Introduction (NPI) while also elevating existing processes through continuous improvement.
If you’re not actively looking but open to hearing about technically engaging roles, this is well worth a conversation.

About You
You’re an experienced Manufacturing Engineer with a strong background in precision machining, taking pride in developing robust processes that consistently deliver high-quality results. You bring hands‑on expertise in sliding head CNC machining, ideally with Star platforms, and are comfortable working in environments that demand tight tolerances and high standards.
Confident across the product lifecycle—from Design for Manufacture (DfM) through New Product Introduction (NPI) to production support—you enjoy solving complex technical challenges in a practical, shop‑floor‑focused way.
Whether you’re already operating at a senior level or ready to step up into a more influential position, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Join Us
As we celebrate 75 years of innovation and excellence, we’re proud to continue building the future of aerospace. We are growing exponentially and we’re looking for exceptional talent to join us on the journey. As a generational company, we invest in people for the future - we build careers that last decades, with a vision to welcome not only you, but future generations of your family.

What You Bring

• Have significant experience within aerospace or another regulated industry
• Are comfortable using CAD/CAM tools such as Siemens NX, PartMaker, FeatureCAM, or Vericut
• Understand APQP, lean manufacturing, and zero-defect principles
• Take a proactive approach to continuous improvement and problem-solving
• Enjoy sharing your knowledge and supporting others in developing their capability
• Most importantly, you care about doing things properly, improving how things are made, and making a real impact on the shop floor.

Why This Role?

• Work on complex, high-value aerospace components where engineering quality is critical
• Influence manufacturing strategy from early design through to production
• Join a team that values practical engineering expertise and continuous improvement
• Opportunity to mentor others and shape best practice across the function

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and flexible benefits package (dependent on experience)
• 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
• Private medical insurance, mental health support, and financial advice
• Generous life assurance and company pension contributions (from 6%)
• Employee share options
• Free onsite parking, EV charging, and 24/7 gym facilities
• Ongoing development opportunities to support career progression
