  • Process Optimization : Identify opportunities to improve composite manufacturing processes, reduce waste, and improve efficiency while maintaining the highest quality standards.
  • Training & Mentoring : Train, coach, mentor, and develop junior composite technicians and fabricators. Ensure that the team is properly equipped with the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to perform at a high level.
  • Collaboration with Engineering & R&D : Collaborate closely with the engineering team to understand design requirements and provide feedback on manufacturability of composite components. Work with the R&D team to experiment with new materials and techniques that improve performance and reduce costs.
  • Safety & Compliance : Ensure all safety protocols and best practices are followed in the composite manufacturing area. Comply with all relevant environmental regulations and internal safety standards.
  • Documentation & Reporting : Maintain detailed records of material usage, production progress, and quality control inspections. Report production status and any issues to management on a regular basis.

Qualifications :

  • Education : Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related field preferred. Relevant technical certifications in composite materials and manufacturing processes are a plus.
  • Experience :
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in composite manufacturing, preferably in the aerospace, defense, or marine industries.
  • 2+ years of experience in a supervisory or lead role in a composite fabrication environment.
  • Technical Skills :
  • Expertise in composite materials (e.g., fiberglass, carbon fiber, vinyl ester resins) and fabrication techniques (layup, infusion, RTM, vacuum bagging, etc.).
  • Familiarity with automated composite manufacturing techniques (CNC routers, robotic arm systems) is a plus.
  • Strong understanding of quality control procedures for composites (e.g., ultrasonic testing, visual inspections, manual inspections).
  • Knowledge of DoD Standards : Understanding of military specifications and regulatory standards, including MIL-STD and MIL-PRF, is highly desirable.
  • Leadership : Proven ability to lead and motivate a team, maintain productivity, and ensure safety and quality standards.
  • Problem-Solving : Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with the ability to address technical challenges in a fast-paced, startup environment.
  • Communication : Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to effectively communicate with internal teams, vendors, and customers.
  • Physical Requirements : Ability to lift and move composite materials (up to 50 lbs) and work in a hands-on production environment.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience with autonomous systems or maritime vessels.
  • Familiarity with advanced CAD / CAM software and 3D modeling for composite parts.
