Job Description

Are You Driven by Complex Materials Challenges?

Do you enjoy turning ambitious ideas into manufacturable composite parts? Can you move fluidly from CAD modeling to FEA validation, then into a build review with process engineering? If you’re nodding yes, you’ll thrive with our Bennington, VT team.

Your Mission

Transform requirements into elegant, build-ready composite structures. Collaborate across disciplines, validate performance before the first ply is cut, and document everything clearly so production and testing run smoothly.

What You'll Do

• Design composite components for diverse applications, optimizing layups and architecture.
• Use analysis and simulations to verify strength, stiffness, and durability.
• Work closely with manufacturing and other stakeholders to ensure DFM/DFA feasibility.
• Create complete technical packages—specifications, drawings, and formal reports.
• Stay at the forefront of composite materials, processes, and tooling trends.
• Engage in design reviews, offering focused, constructive insights.
• Assist with prototype test planning and evaluation to meet program targets.

What You'll Need

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or equivalent.
• Proven composite design experience, ideally in a manufacturing setting.
• Expertise in composite materials and processes, plus CAD and FEA proficiency.
• Detail-oriented problem solver with strong analytical judgment.
• Team-first collaborator with clear communication skills.
• Experience coordinating projects and balancing multiple priorities.

Your Skillset Toolkit

• GD&T and blueprint literacy.
• CAD/CAM software proficiency for end-to-end development.
• FEA and tolerance analysis for predictive validation.
• DFM and DFA to ensure smooth production and assembly.
• Process engineering understanding and PFMEA practice.
• Mechanical design & engineering fundamentals applied to composites.
• Product design experience across the lifecycle.
• Bachelor's Degree.

Where You'll Work

On-site with a collaborative, multidisciplinary group in Bennington, VT—close to the action where decisions turn into hardware.
