You will join a growing organization that places a strong emphasis on culture and shared mission, valuing passion, drive, and intangible qualities as much as experience. The team is expanding significantly, offering clear growth potential, including multiple shifts and opportunities to move into different departments and develop new skills. After 12 months of employment, you become eligible for an equity package, and you receive a daily lunch allowance, supporting both your long-term financial well-being and day-to-day comfort.

This position is based in a production and manufacturing environment at a facility that builds composite over wrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for advanced aerospace applications. You will work with filament winding machines, resin mixing equipment, hoists, extractors, curing ovens, and other high-speed machinery, as well as hand and power tools. The standard shift runs Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with approximately 50-hour work weeks and occasional Saturdays as needed.
