Who is Moog?
With Headquarters in the US and a global reach, Moog Inc is a world-leading integrator of precision motion control systems for aerospace, defence, industrial and medical applications.
Over the last 65+ years, our engineers have developed the capability to design and manufacture the most advanced products for application where precise control of velocity, force, acceleration, and fluid flow are critical. Moog Inc is split across three operating groups: Aircraft Group, Industrial Group and Space and Defence Group.
We are proud that our people and products represent a culture where the opportunity to solve a challenging control problem is always welcomed. This Internship is available at our Wolverhampton facility within our Aircraft Group, which focuses on the design, test and manufacture of our high-spec primary and secondary flight control actuation products which are used on both Commercial and Military aircraft.
We strive to foster a close relationship with our Interns from day one so that they can return to the business where possible as a member of our Graduate Engineering Programme.
We are currently recruiting for a number of Engineering Industrial Placements within the following areas of our business in Wolverhampton:
Military Actuation Engineering
The Military Actuation Engineering team is part of the Engineering function within Moog Aircraft Group and is responsible for the product development of hydraulic primary flight control actuators, predominantly for military and rotor-bladed aircraft. This team is responsible for the full development cycle from concept design through to introduction into service and support of legacy products.
You will be embedded within one part of the Military Actuation Engineering team (design, analysis, or test) where you will gain hands-on experience contributing to real projects while working alongside experienced Engineers.
The range of activities that you will be involved with is quite broad and will be tailored to suit your strengths. Typically, you will get the experience of performance analysis, simulation, report writing, component or test fixture design and also test activities.
You will gain exposure to all aspects of the product development cycle: concept development, project planning, requirements management, design reviews, testing and certification and support of legacy products.
You will get to experience interactions with both customers and suppliers and see how our equipment forms part of overall aircraft systems. You will also have exposure to the industry standards, processes, and tools that we apply when developing our products.
Commercial Actuation Engineering
The Commercial Actuation Engineering team is part of the Engineering function within Moog Aircraft Group and is responsible for the design and development of secondary flight control actuators, predominantly for the actuation of the high lift systems on large Commercial aircraft. This team is responsible for the full development cycle from concept design to introduction into service and support of legacy products.
You will work on legacy and sustaining projects where you will gain hands-on experience contributing to real projects involving aircraft currently in service working alongside experienced Engineers.
You will gain exposure to many aspects of the product development cycle including project planning, requirements management, design review, testing, and certification. You will take part in project reviews involving suppliers and customers and will generate documents in support of these reviews.
You will have exposure to and learn to assess engineering drawings and technical documents and will generate technical specifications and reports that you will release in accordance with company standards. You will be involved with in-house test activities on flight control actuators that can include testing, data validation, and test report compilation and release.
Here are the skills and qualifications that will suit this internship
- Working towards a relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree in Engineering (E.g., Aerospace, Mechanical, Mechatronics).
- Strong mathematical and analytical skills and a passion for Engineering.
- Good communication skills, both verbal and written.
- An interest in the Aerospace industry.
Next Steps
We are recruiting for many opportunities across the business, and we are happy to consider your application across multiple Internships. If you progress to the next stage of the screening process, we will ask you which other internships you’d like to be considered for. The selection centre stage will be focused on the two Actuation Engineering internships and at that point, you’ll be asked which one you’d prefer to be considered for.
For your application to be considered please apply with a CV and Cover Letter via our Careers Page.
You must include your predicted grade for your degree, and where possible each grade attained for your completed modules thus far (our top tip is to go the extra mile and tell us all about your hobbies and projects which are relevant to this Internship!).
The application deadline is 31st January 2023. However, we will begin to review applications on a rolling basis from January 2023, so we encourage you to apply ASAP. Vacancies will close once filled.
The selection stages include a video interview and an in-person interview/assessment Centre.
All placements are available to penultimate/final year students and the paid internships will start between August and September 2023, for a duration of 12 months.
