Ready to ScanRole Overview
As a Composites Engineer, you’ll own the engineering, development, and production of our ultra-light deployable composite structures. This role sits at the intersection of design, analysis, and hands-on manufacturing: you’ll refine laminate schedules, develop new layup processes, design tooling and fixtures, run experiments, and drive the factory-floor workflows that take a concept from CAD to flight hardware.
You will be responsible for improving yield, repeatability, and performance across all composite processes—curing, layup, machining, bonding, inspection, and structural validation—while collaborating closely with design engineering, test, and manufacturing. Your work directly determines the performance of the composite structures we’re flying to space.

Responsibilities
- Own the engineering and process development for all in-house composite structures
- Develop, validate, and optimize laminate schedules, cure cycles, and layup techniques
- Design tooling, molds, fixtures, and inspection methods for thin high-precision composite parts
- Run experiments to characterize materials and processes (fiber alignment, void fraction, cure kinetics, spring-in, etc.)
- Implement manufacturing controls: travelers, process specs, inspection criteria, and QA workflows
