5+ years of experience in composites engineering, with a strong focus on high-temperature materials (e.g., carbon-carbon, ceramic matrix composites, refractory metals, fiber layout, PIP & CVI densification, optimization of pyrolysis cycles). The ideal candidate will have experience developing densified CMCs (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.
