Senior Composites Manufacturing Engineer

We’re hiring a Senior Composites Engineer to support advanced composite programs from concept through production. This role blends hands-on composites engineering, program management, and customer-facing responsibilities—ideal for someone who enjoys owning projects end-to-end while mentoring junior engineers.

You’ll work closely with design, production, and customers to deliver high-quality composite solutions across multiple programs.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead multiple composite programs from concept through delivery
• Develop manufacturing processes, tooling plans, and work instructions
• Partner with design teams to define production-ready composite specs
• Support quoting, estimating, and cost analysis for new programs
• Manage budgets, timelines, materials, and labor planning
• Act as customer liaison—handling scope changes, updates, and milestones
• Oversee day-to-day build operations and ensure quality standards
• Mentor and support junior composite engineers

Must-Haves

• 4+ years of composites engineering experience
• Experience supporting composite manufacturing (process, tooling, production)
• Experience with CAD tools (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, etc.)
• Ability to manage multiple programs simultaneously

Nice to Have

• Automotive or aerospace composites experience
• Knowledge of AS9100 / QMS / quality systems
• Experience with FEA / CAE tools
• PMP or project/program management experience
• Exposure to mechanical testing of composites
