Moog
About Moog
Moog, the aerospace and defense supplier based in East Aurora, New York, builds for space in its Space and Defense group: the METEOR and METEORITE satellite buses integrated in Arvada, Colorado, spacecraft avionics, propulsion systems made in Niagara Falls, New York, actuation and mechanisms for spacecraft and launch vehicles in East Aurora, Gilbert, Arizona and Chatsworth, California. Space is a little under half of that group, the rest is defense. Only its space roles are listed here: the board reads the postings its own search finds for space and judges each one before it is listed, so its defense, aircraft and industrial work stays off.

Our methods page explains where each pay number comes from and how sure we are of it.
