Aerospace Composites Fabrication Specialist

A day in this role

You arrive at the composites cell, review the latest engineering drawings, and prep molds for today’s build. You cut plies, stage materials, and perform precise layups that follow specifications down to the ply orientation. You complete secondary bonding with epoxies and resins, vacuum bag the assemblies, and prepare them for cure. Afterward, you trim, sand, and drill features to exact tolerances, inspect your work, and collaborate with engineers and quality to refine the process for the next iteration. That’s a typical day for our Aerospace Composites Fabrication Specialist—hands-on craftsmanship powering aerospace innovation.
