• Assemble composite structures using RTV, epoxy, and fasteners
• Assist with aerospace painting, priming, finishes, and coatings
• Support testing, inspection, fabrication, and engineering projects
• Keep the shop, tools, and work areas organized and safe
• Learn and contribute across composites, electronics, welding, woodworking, additive manufacturing, and engineering testing

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Associate degree or vocational/technical training preferred
• 1-2 year of composite or manufacturing experience preferred
• Basic computer skills and ability to learn CAD software
