Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and meticulous Composite Technician to join our team. This role is focused on the critical final stages of high-performance carbon fiber manufacturing, final fitment, and structural restoration. You will be responsible for cured carbon fiber components and bringing them to a flawless final finish for both elite motorsport projects and premium street car applications.

This role focuses on reading technical specifications to deliver high-quality work from the start and managing rapid structural crash repairs under tight turnaround constraints to support active racing and demanding in-house and client schedules.

This is not an entry-level position. Proven, hands-on experience working with advanced composites (carbon fiber/prepregs) in a professional automotive, aftermarket, or motorsport environment is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Rapid Crash & Damage Repairs: Expertly diagnose structural damage on returned, track-damaged components. Execute proper scarfing techniques, laminate schedules, and vacuum-bagging protocols to structurally restore components under tight turnaround constraints without compromising safety, structural integrity, or cosmetics.
• Trimming & Pre-Fitting: Precisely trim, drill, and scribe cured carbon fiber components according to CAD drawings, engineering briefs, and strict tolerance specs using air tools, routers, and precision hand tools.
• Final Assembly & Bonding: Execute final assembly of multi-piece components utilizing structural adhesives (e.g., Hysol) and mechanical fasteners. Ensure perfect fitment, body lines, alignment, and gap tolerances for both race and high-end street aesthetics.
• Quality Control: Inspect parts post-cure, post-repair, and post-assembly to ensure they meet strict structural and cosmetic shop standards.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum 5 years of professional experience as a composite technician, with a heavy emphasis on trim, final assembly, panel fitment, and structural repair.
• Technical Skills: Clean execution of scarf repairs, core replacement, vacuum bagging, precise bonding, and surface preparation. Must have a proven track record of working efficiently under pressure to meet fast-paced shop deadlines.
• Tool Proficiency: Expert handling of pneumatic tools, perimeters, diamond wheels, measuring equipment, basic hand tools, and appropriate safety gear.
• CAD & Blueprints: Ability to read, interpret, and accurately follow CAD drawings, complex laminate schedules, technical layouts, and assembly instructions.
• Attributes: Exceptional eye for detail (especially regarding cosmetic weave alignment on street parts), a strong work ethic, and the ability to maintain a fast pace in a high-productivity shop environment.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive Compensation with an attractive 401(k) retirement plan.
• Paid Holidays and generous Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription Drug coverage.
• Company-Paid Short & Long-Term Disability and Life Insurance.
• Opportunities for advancement within the organization.
