  • Design and develop fiber-reinforced composite systems.
    • Design and formulate polymer matrices.
    • Evaluate and select fiber/fabric reinforcements.
    • Conduct and analyze curing and process optimization, mechanical performance, and thermal and fire behavior.
  • Lead multidisciplinary project teams to scale, qualify, and commercialize composite prepreg solutions.
  • Provide technical application support to sales, marketing, and customers.

KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT

  • Bachelor’s degree related to composites technology, such as materials science and engineering, polymer chemistry and engineering, or a related field; advanced degree desirable.
  • Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in composites, including polymeric matrices formulation, fabrication, material testing, lab-scale development, and fiber or textile handling.
  • Solid understanding of thermoset resins and engineering thermoplastics used in high-temperature applications.
  • Familiarity with fibers and textiles such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, ceramics, and aramids.
  • Application knowledge of ablatives or thermal protection systems is a strong plus.
  • Travel as needed; up to 10–20% travel may be required.

WORKING CONDITIONS

This position requires both office work and the ability to work in a material manufacturing and warehouse environment. The position will require frequent sitting, during office work, and walking and standing for long periods while working with the operations team which is located within three separate buildings at the site.
