Senior Composite Manufacturing Technician

Lyten is leading an industrial revolution through Lyten 3D Graphene™ a breakthrough supermaterial unlocking a new generation of products — from lithium–sulfur batteries and energy storage systems to concrete admixtures, lightweight composites, and next‑generation sensors that are revolutionizing industries. Together, these innovations are making a massive global improvement and driving real‑world impact across energy, mobility, construction, and defense. At Lyten, we believe the most meaningful careers begin with purpose — and with people who want to make a difference.

We’re not just developing advanced supermaterials — we’re about to change the world as we know it, reshaping how energy is stored, how products are built, and how progress is made. We’re entering an exciting growth phase, scaling production across the U.S. and Europe and expanding our team of engineers, scientists, and innovators. Be part of something bigger than yourself — where collaboration, creativity, and purpose come together to build the technologies that will define the next century.

We are seeking a highly skilled, hands‑on Senior Composite Manufacturing Technician to play a foundational role in scaling our new motorsports composite facility in Indianapolis. You will be the backbone of the shop floor, directly responsible for producing premium Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) parts that meet the ultra‑exacting standards of top‑tier motorsports. In this role, you will lead the end‑to‑end fabrication process—from precision layup on molds to demolding finished parts—while taking ownership of our autoclave operations and material inventory.

Because we are building this business from the ground up, we are looking for a proactive leader who leads by example, takes pride in their craft, and thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑performance racing environment.

• Composite Fabrication & Layup: Execute precision layups of prepreg carbon fiber and other advanced materials onto complex molds for high‑performance motorsports components. Perform meticulous vacuum bagging, debulking, and leak testing to ensure zero defects during the cure cycle. Safely and carefully demold cured CFRP parts, ensuring the integrity of both the part and the precision tooling. Perform surface preparation, trimming, and basic finishing of composite parts.
• Autoclave Operations & Management: Manage the loading and unloading of parts into and out of the autoclave. Set up, monitor, and record cure cycles (temperature, pressure, and vacuum curves). Ensure the autoclave is running smoothly by conducting routine inspections, troubleshooting minor issues, and coordinating with maintenance/vendors for major servicing.
• Materials & Shop Management: Own the inventory management of the composites shop. Ensure all prepreg materials, resins, cores, and vacuum bagging consumables are properly stocked and ordered ahead of time. Strictly track and log freezer life and out-life for all temperature‑sensitive prepreg materials. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment (5S methodologies).
• Team Leadership & Quality Support: Act as a leading technician on the floor, providing guidance, support, and troubleshooting expertise for the manufacturing of complex parts. Collaborate with composite design engineers and managers to refine manufacturing processes, improve ply‑books, and increase throughput. Perform visual and dimensional quality checks to ensure parts meet the stringent aerodynamic and structural requirements of motorsports.

• Experience: Bachelor’s degree in unrelated field AND 5+ years of hands‑on experience in advanced composite manufacturing,…
