    Position Overview
    We are seeking a Composite Manufacturing Specialist/Technician to lead the hands-on fabrication of carbon fiber, Kevlar, and epoxy components for fixed-wing UAVs and aircraft. The ideal candidate will be highly skilled in composite layup and mold-making, with an eye for craftsmanship and a passion for high-performance materials.

    • Design and build molds for composite layups, including plug construction, tool prep, and vacuum bagging
    • Comfortable with hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), autoclave modeling, and compression molding techniques.
    • Collaborate with engineering staff to develop manufacturing workflows, workspaces, and specialized tools
    • Perform field repairs, composite part modifications, and rapid design iterations
    • Ensure a clean, safe, and organized shop environment with a focus on consistent, top-tier fabrication quality
    • Maintain documentation for fabrication processes, material usage, and design changes
    Qualifications
    • Proven hands-on experience in composite fabrication-ideally from aerospace, marine, motor sports, or performance product sectors
    • Strong portfolio showcasing past projects and physical components (photos required)
    • Skilled in mold-making, layup, vacuum bagging, and finishing techniques
    • High attention to detail with a commitment to producing both mechanically sound aesthetically pleasing parts
    • Self-driven, reliable, and focused on quality and committed to deadlines
    • Excellent organization, cleanliness, and shop discipline are essential
    Preferred Skills
    • Experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and structural optimization of composite components
    • Comfort with CNC machining, hand tools, and general shop equipment
    • Familiarity with small aircraft or UAV structures and aerodynamic design principles
    Benefits & Perks
    • Flexible PTO: We value work-life balance and encourage time to rest and recharge.
    • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage-you choose what works best for you.
    • Equity Participation: Permanent employees receive RSUs (Restricted Stock Units).
    • 401(k) Match: We offer a 401k w/100% matching up to 3% of your salary and then 50% of contributions between 3-5%
    • Career Growth: Ongoing training, mentorship, and learning opportunities to accelerate your growth.
