DescriptionAbout the RoleWe9re hiring a Composite Process Engineer to own process development and improvement on our composite manufacturing floor, with a primary focus on filament winding. This is a hands-on engineering role. You9ll be on the floor, running trials, troubleshooting production issues, designing tooling in SolidWorks, and driving CI projects from idea through implementation. You9ll also work closely with operations and support the broader engineering team.
If you want a desk job, this isn9t it. If you want to get deep into composite process engineering at a company that9s actually building things, keep reading.
What You9ll Do- Lead process development for filament wound composite products - from equipment and tooling design through production launch
- Own continuous improvement initiatives: identify problems, build the project plan, drive resolution
- Support pultrusion and filament winding operations with root cause analysis and technical troubleshooting
- Design fixtures and tooling in SolidWorks
- Develop and maintain work instructions, troubleshooting guides, and process documentation
- Scope and manage capital projects - new equipment, new tooling, process upgrades
- Use our test lab to optimize composite designs for performance and manufacturability
- Support off-shift trials when needed
- Coach and train operations crews on composite processes and equipment
What We9re Looking For- Bachelor9s degree in Engineering (mechanical, manufacturing, composites, or chemical preferred); GPA 3.25+
- 2-4 years of hands-on process engineering experience in a continuous manufacturing environment; recent composites experience - filament winding or pultrusion - strongly preferred
- SolidWorks proficiency: parts, assemblies, drawings, GD&T per ANSI Y14.5
- Familiarity with thermoset resin systems (polyester, vinyl-ester, urethane) is a real plus
- You can work from a goal, break it into tasks, and execute without needing to be managed
- Strong communicator across all levels - line operators to executives
- Organized, detail-oriented, and consistent with documentation
Physical Work ConditionsTime should be split between the floor and the office or meeting rooms ranging anywhere from 25% to 75% on the production floor or engineering labs. While working on the floor there will be work with and around moving machinery, fumes and chemicals. Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone.
The compensation range for this position is $74,386 - $102,280. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications.
