About the Role

We are supporting an international high-technology engineering organization developing advanced products and systems for demanding applications.

We are looking for a Composites Manufacturing Specialist Engineer to join its manufacturing engineering organization. The successful candidate will support the development, industrialization, qualification, and continuous improvement of composite materials and manufacturing processes, with a strong focus on prepreg technologies.

This position combines hands-on manufacturing engineering with materials and process expertise and will work closely with engineering, production, quality, supply chain, and external suppliers.

Key Responsibilities

-

- Develop and maintain engineering specifications for hand lay-up manufacturing processes for prepreg composite components.

- Define manufacturing routing sheets for prepreg parts in accordance with applicable engineering specifications.

- Establish, document, and control prepreg material handling requirements, including out-time tracking, storage conditions, material lot traceability, and shelf-life management.

- Lead and support new-part qualification activities, including definition of first-article build plans, preparation of process documentation, and support during qualification inspections.

- Develop, evaluate, and validate new composite manufacturing processes before their release to production, including lay-up configurations, cure cycles, and vacuum bagging techniques.

- Coordinate with new material and manufacturing process suppliers, establishing evaluation criteria, overseeing sample testing, and verifying compliance with applicable technical specifications.

- Support the introduction, transition,



and qualification of automated composite manufacturing technologies, particularly Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), including technical comparison and benchmarking against manual manufacturing processes.

- Define, update, and maintain routing sheets, work instructions, and manufacturing/process documentation for new and existing components and processes.

- Define ply kit requirements based on engineering ply books and established lay-up sequences.

- Provide engineering disposition and technical support for SCSRs and manufacturing non-conformances, including containment activities and corrective-action follow-up.

- Capture and document lessons learned from manufacturing and qualification activities.

- Update work instructions and process documentation as new components, manufacturing processes, materials, or suppliers are introduced and qualified.
