Materials Engineer, High-Temp Composites

Materials Engineer High-Temp Composites

Position: On-Site Kent Washington (Must be willing to relocate to our Kent location)

About ContinuousComposites:

At Continuous Composites Inc. we are redefining what is possible in advanced manufacturing. Our unique CF3D technology for composite 3D printing opens new frontiers in Aerospace and Defense. We thrive on innovation rapid iteration and empowering every team member to take initiative and drive breakthrough solutions. Our mission is to transform industrial manufacturing through pioneering research creative problem-solving and relentless execution.

PositionSummary:

The Continuous Composite Engineering Team is seeking a Materials Engineer to support in-house efforts to develop High Temperature Composites for real world applications.

In this role you will lead the Materials Team to develop and define the method to create Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) leveraging our Continuous Fiber (CF3D) Printing technology. You will own the entire process from preform development to densification and have a team to support this effort.

The ideal candidate will have experience developing densified composites for high temperature applications (C/C C/SiC C/C-SiC) from scratch through a variety of methods (PIP CVI MI) and will be comfortable taking a methodological approach to develop test verify and validate their approach.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop the technique and process to manufacture high temp composites from proof of concept to production for real world applications i.e. thermal protection systems for aerospace.
• Own the research and development of CMCs to generate preforms and process them into a final densified part.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams(engineering operations business) as well as vendors and research institutions to execute multi-year development plans.

PreferredQualifications:

• Bachelors degree inchemical materials or manufacturing engineering
• 1 years of experiencein composites engineering with a strong focus on high-temperature materials (e.g. carbon-carbon ceramic matrix composites refractory metalsfiber layoutPIP & CVI densification optimization ofpyrolysis cycles).

• Proventrack recordin ownership optimization and executing R&D projects
• Experience with material characterization techniques(thermalmechanical microstructural etc.).

• Excellent communication and technical writing skillsfor proposaldevelopment report writing and presentations.

• Ability to work independently and mentor junior team members.

• Strong backgroundinstatisticsand problem-solvingtechniques.

Why Join Us:

At Continuous Composites you will be part of a team that is redefining how advanced composites are manufactured. We move fast communicate clearly and innovate constantly. If you thrive in a dynamic hands-on environment and are passionate aboutcutting-edgetechnologywe wantto hear from you.
