Zusammenfassung

Actalent is seeking a Composite Engineer to design and develop advanced composite structures and in-house manufacturing processes for aerospace applications. The role covers the full lifecycle from concept through launch, including tooling, molding, and testing in a hands-on setting.

Responsibilities include optimizing layup and curing processes, providing laminate design input, and supporting prototype builds and low-rate production while ensuring adherence to aerospace quality standards.

Qualifikationen

• Hands-on experience with composite design and manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency in composite laminate design for aerospace structures.
• Experience working with autoclave-based composite processing.
• Background in aerospace engineering or aerospace-related composite applications.
• Ability to develop and refine tooling for composite manufacturing and testing.
• Strong understanding of aerospace quality requirements and standards related to composite structures.

Aufgaben

• Design and optimize composite manufacturing processes, including layup, curing, bonding, trimming, and assembly for aerospace applications.
• Provide detailed input on composite laminate design to meet structural, performance, and reliability requirements.
• Develop mechanical tooling and ground support equipment (GSE) systems for composite structure manufacturing and testing.
• Design and oversee fabrication of mold tooling, layup tooling, precision trimming and machining systems, part transfer and handling fixtures, and verification tooling.
• Support prototype builds, first-article manufacturing, and low-rate production, ensuring smooth transition from development to repeatable manufacturing.
• Select and recommend materials for composite layup consumables, such as mold release agents, release films, peel plies, and bagging materials.
• Ensure all composite manufacturing activities comply with internal quality systems and applicable aerospace standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to take composite structures from initial concept through product development and readiness for launch.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of composite processes, tooling, and quality controls to enhance efficiency and product performance.
