We are looking for a Composite Development Engineer to build the material foundation of our rocket structures and generate material data that design and analysis can trust.
You will work across material selection, process development, specimen preparation, laboratory testing, and component validation. Your work will ensure that material properties are measured on the materials we use, made with the processes we intend to employ, and suitable for real engineering decisions.
Key responsibilities
Define material requirements based on system, component, manufacturing, and structural interfaces.
Select composite material systems and qualify suitable manufacturing processes.
Plan and run coupon-level characterisation campaigns, from specimen preparation and testing through to usable design values.
Develop and characterise new material systems and processing methods.
Validate material properties on manufactured components and feed results back into design and analysis.
Help develop the materials laboratory, including procedures, safety practices, equipment capability, and material-handling standards.
What we are looking for
A Master’s degree or PhD in materials science, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline.
Two to five years of experience working with composite materials; strong student-team experience will also be considered.
Genuine enjoyment of practical laboratory work, including specimen preparation, testing, and fixture troubleshooting.
Experience handling resins and chemicals safely, with the ability to develop procedures where they do not yet exist.
A methodical approach to experimental work, measurement, documentation, and data quality.
Fluent English and the ability to communicate technical results clearly.
Desirable experience
Carbon-fibre materials, resin systems, prepregs, laminates, or other aerospace composites.
Composite test standards, including ASTM, ISO, or equivalent methods.
Laboratory equipment such as DSC, DMA, tensile-test systems, microscopy, or similar materials-characterisation equipment.
Working proficiency in German.
