Composite Technician
About The Position
The Composite Technician is a key contributor to the fabrication and finishing of high-performance composite (carbon fiber and fiberglass) components used across the aerospace industry. Working with advanced pre-preg materials (no wet layup or harsh fumes), you’ll apply technical expertise and craftsmanship to produce precision parts through specialized layup, rolling, curing, machining, and inspection processes. This position demands more than basic production skills — it requires an experienced, detail-driven professional who can interpret technical instructions, meet demanding tolerances, and consistently deliver aerospace-grade quality.
Requirements
- A skilled composite fabricator or technician with hands-on experience in aerospace, motorsport, or high-performance manufacturing environments.
- Comfortable reading work orders, engineering drawings, and production specs to guide complex fabrication sequences.
- Motivated by quality, precision, and the knowledge that your work contributes directly to mission-critical aerospace applications.
- Self-driven, dependable, and passionate about continuous improvement — both in your craft and the process.
- Able to perform physically active work requiring manual dexterity, fine motor skills, and sustained focus.
- An effective communicator and team player who values professionalism, craftsmanship, and innovation.
- High school diploma or GED required; additional technical training or composite certification strongly preferred.
Nice To Haves
- 3+ years of composite manufacturing or advanced fabrication experience (aerospace, automotive, sporting goods, or similar precision environment).
- Expertise in carbon fiber pre-preg layup, vacuum processing, trimming, bonding, and finishing.
- Familiarity with machining, tooling preparation, or autoclave/oven operations.
- Proven ability to follow detailed work instructions and maintain aerospace-level quality standards.
- Proficiency with measurement instruments and documentation of inspection results.
Responsibilities
- Execute precise layup and lamination of composite materials using both hand and automated techniques.
- Perform advanced rolling of composite tubing with power-driven table roll systems, ensuring alignment, ply orientation, and structural integrity.
- Conduct cello-wrapping, vacuum bagging, and controlled curing in ovens and presses to achieve engineered specifications.
- Remove, de-tool, and prepare finished parts, ensuring zero-defect quality.
- Perform detailed finishing operations: trimming, bonding, machining, and inspection using precision tools and gauges.
- Support tooling preparation, maintenance, and fabrication for continuous production flow.
- Collaborate with engineering and quality teams to improve process efficiency, material performance, and part consistency.
- Maintain clean, organized, and safety-focused work environments that reflect the precision of our products.
- Uphold company standards for craftsmanship, documentation, and production quality that align with aerospace requirements.
Benefits
- Competitive pay commensurate with experience and skill level
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Bonus eligibility
- Paid Time Off (PTO), Holidays and Sick Leave
- Opportunities for professional growth and skill development in a high-tech, aerospace environment
