Composite Technician – Combat Jet & Cryogenic Engines

Scope of Work

As a Composite Technician, you will be responsible for supporting the design, prototyping, and manufacturing of advanced carbon fiber and ceramic matrix composite parts for high-performance combat jet engines and cryogenic propulsion systems. Your role will span from CAD-based layup planning to hands-on laminate fabrication, curing, trimming, and quality assurance. You’ll collaborate closely with design engineers and material scientists in building next-generation propulsion components with extreme thermal, structural, and weight performance.

Nature of Work

• Preparation and layup of carbon fiber, aramid, and ceramic fiber laminates using dry and pre-preg methods
• Use of CAD/CAM software (SolidWorks, NX) to interpret component drawings and ply schedules
• Vacuum bagging, autoclave operation, and out-of-autoclave (OOA) composite processing
• Hand-finishing, trimming, drilling, bonding, and assembly of composite parts
• Participation in prototype mold creation, tool prep, and demolding operations
• Inspection of cured parts via visual, ultrasonic, and C-scan techniques
• Documentation of work processes, inspection results, and repair operations

Job Requirements

• Diploma/B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in composite manufacturing (freshers with training may be considered)
• Familiarity with layup techniques, vacuum infusion, or RTM processes
• Working knowledge of autoclaves, ovens, and cleanroom best practices
• Basic CAD literacy and ability to read technical drawings
• Awareness of health and safety standards and PPE compliance in composite handling
• Prior experience with high-temperature or aerospace-grade composite systems is a plus

Eligibility

• Indian nationals or persons legally eligible to work in India
• Willingness to work in a hands-on lab/manufacturing environment
• Strong attention to detail, discipline, and quality-oriented mindset
• Candidates with prior experience in aerospace/defense composite manufacturing preferred
