Job Summary
We're looking for a detail-oriented Composite Technician to join an innovative advanced composites manufacturing team. In this role, you'll work with high-performance materials, including carbon fiber prepreg, to fabricate precision composite components from mold preparation through final assembly. The ideal candidate has a strong attention to detail, enjoys hands-on technical work, and is committed to producing high-quality products. Previous composite manufacturing experience is preferred, but on-the-job training is provided.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Composite Technician, your core responsibilities will include:
  • Mold Preparation & Handling: Inspect molds for cleanliness, damage, and wear, apply release agents, safely remove molds and cured parts from ovens or autoclaves, and carefully demold finished components.
  • Composite Lamination: Follow laminate schedules and work instructions while verifying material type, ply orientation, and ply count. Perform precise layups and debulk between layers to ensure proper consolidation.
  • Vacuum Bagging & Cure Operations: Build leak-free vacuum bags, inspect bag integrity, load parts into ovens or autoclaves, and execute cure cycles according to specifications.
  • Post-Cure Finishing: Mix and label solvents, paints, and finishing materials while maintaining proper inventory and storage practices.
  • Assembly & Inspection: Assemble composite components and hardware, inspect parts for defects such as delamination, wrinkles, voids, broken fibers, and foreign object inclusion, and report quality concerns to the Production Manager.
  • Packaging & Shipping: Prepare completed components for packaging and shipment according to customer purchase orders.
In addition, you will maintain a clean and organized work area, follow all process documentation, and support continuous improvement efforts while working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
What We're Looking For
Qualifications
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, work instructions, and laminate schedules.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Comfortable working in a cleanroom or controlled manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to safely lift and handle large molds and composite parts.
  • Willingness to learn advanced composite manufacturing processes through on-the-job training.
Skills
  • Composite Fabrication: Experience with composite layup and fabrication techniques preferred.
  • Vacuum Bagging & Cure Operations: Familiarity with vacuum bagging and autoclave or oven curing processes preferred.
  • Quality Inspection: Ability to identify defects including delamination, wrinkles, voids, broken fibers, bridging, porosity, resin-rich areas, blisters, and matrix cracks.
  • Blueprint Reading: Ability to interpret technical drawings and manufacturing documentation.
  • Attention to Detail: Commitment to producing precision components that meet quality standards.
  • Teamwork & Communication: Ability to collaborate effectively with production team members and communicate quality concerns.
  • Continuous Improvement: Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles is a plus.
Physical Requirements
  • Ability to stand for extended periods throughout the shift.
  • Ability to lift and safely handle large parts and molds.
  • Ability to bend, reach, and perform repetitive hand and arm movements.
  • Ability to work safely in a cleanroom or controlled manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to wear required personal protective equipment (PPE).
