• Translating material and design requirements into robust manufacturing processes and clear work instructions in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
• Planning and executing material fabrication, including layup, preforming, infusion (VARTM/RTM) and curing.
• Developing and optimizing process parameters (resin systems, flow media, vacuum strategy, cure cycles).
• Designing and supporting tooling for complex preforms and infusion setups.
• Performing hands-on builds, trials and process validation on the shop floor.
• Developing and executing mechanical, thermal and environmental test plans.
• Analyzing test data to characterize material properties and drive continuous process improvements.
• Supporting process qualification and first-article activities.
• Investigating defects (voids, dry spots, delamination’s) and implementing root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Collaborating with design engineering on material selection, laminate stack-ups and DFM/DFA considerations.
• Interfacing with suppliers for fibers, resins, and preforms and supporting material down-select and qualification.
• Ensuring compliance with aerospace and defense standards and specifications.
• Evaluating emerging manufacturing technologies and conducting cost/benefit assessments for potential adoption.
