- Partner with R&D and manufacturing to scale lab formulations into full production.
- Evaluate and implement new raw materials, coatings, and fire-retardant technologies.
- Design and execute experiments, analyze data, and prepare reports validating product performance.
- Support customer‑specific projects for aerospace and industrial OEM applications.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to solve production challenges and drive cost‑effective improvements.
- Ensure compliance with FAA, NFPA, ISO, AS9100/IA9100, and ASTM standards.
- B.S. or M.S. in Materials Science, Materials Engineering, or related field.
- 3+ years of experience in materials R&D, composites, or insulation manufacturing.
- Hands‑on experience with textile‑based composites, ceramic fibers, or refractory materials.
- Proficiency in thermal/mechanical testing methods and data analysis.
- Strong problem‑solving skills, with proven ability to collaborate cross‑functionally.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non‑engineers.
- Experience in aerospace, automotive, or industrial insulation/fireproofing.
- Familiarity with advanced coating technologies and polymer formulations.
- Knowledge of FEA/CFD thermal analysis tools.
- Background with textile processing (weaving, automated sewing, CNC textile cutting, and coatings).
- Health, dental, and vision insurance, plus HSA.
- Paid time off and discretionary quarterly performance bonus.
- Long‑term disability insurance.
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
