  • Collaboration & Continuous Improvement:

What We're Looking For:
  • Be awesome! Be the kind of person you want to work with! 
  • Have 3+ years experience as a technician in composites manufacturing, and have an understanding of industry best practices
  • Have a high sense of urgency, with a strong attention to detail and a resolve to deliver the highest quality. 
  • Identify and solve problems quickly and communicate issues clearly to leadership and engineering to prevent recurring issues. 
  • Be comfortable to read and interpret layup books, as well as working from process controlling work instructions. 
  • Be proficient in using common measuring and assembly tools such as calipers, scales, tape measures, torque wrenches, hand drills, etc. 
  • Be comfortable learning new methods and technologies, and incorporating them into your workflow. 
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs, stand for long periods and work hands-on in a production setting. 
Preferred:
