Materials And Process Engineer

Our client is looking for a seasoned Materials Process Engineer to drive the design, assessment, and deployment of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques for aerospace platforms. This role will act as a technical authority in non‑metallic materials—especially polymer matrix composites and structural adhesives—providing support across the full lifecycle, from early concept development through production ramp‑up and ongoing process improvement.

• Research, develop, and qualify non‑metallic materials and related manufacturing processes for aerospace use.
• Define, document, and verify process control plans while ensuring adherence to applicable standards, including MIL‑STD‑11991.
• Analyze engineering drawings and technical requirements to confirm materials and processes align with program needs.
• Identify root causes and resolve production challenges related to materials and processing.
• Assist with the introduction of new materials and processes into manufacturing environments.
• Partner closely with design engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and quality teams to resolve material issues and enhance manufacturability.

• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline; advanced degrees are a plus.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in materials or materials process engineering within the aerospace industry.
• Demonstrated expertise in composites, adhesives, polymers, and other non‑metallic materials.
• Proven experience developing process control plans and evaluating engineering specifications and drawings.
• Working knowledge of military standards, including MIL‑STD‑11991.
• Hands‑on experience with polymer‑based or other non‑metallic material systems.
