The primary role of an Experimental Composite Technician III is to efficiently and accurately, fabricate and assemble composite parts needed to support Product Development programs. Many of these parts are new designs that may require revisions and adjustments to determine the best way to fabricate. For this reason, experimental technicians must have excellent communication skills to efficiently communicate with design engineers and other team members. Parts are primarily fabricated from either prepreg or hand layup process using either carbon fiber or fiberglass materials. The execution of these parts and assemblies may come from mental concepts, verbal instructions, hand sketch drawings, or blueprints. The candidate must be well versed in common tools used in the finishing of composite parts and prepping new molds.? A wide range of skills and a willingness to learn new ones is essential to being effective in a very diverse and dynamic environment. In addition to responsibility outline in Experimental Composite technician II, the ideal candidate would show a strong understanding of the following responsibilities.??

• GED or HS degree required minimum 5 years of direct industry experience.

• Strong creative mind that excels at solving problems along with successfully collaborating with a diverse team during the development of new technologies and designs.

• Ability to teach the setup of laser aids.

• Able to complete complex assemblies and installations of next higher assemblies.

• High understanding of composite process specs and their application.

• Able to identify damage, the extent of the damage and able to remove damage before repair is started.

• Proficient in bagging and curing complex layups.

• Ability to cut and modify ply files.

• Ability to bond and build 3D printed tooling.

• Ability to create nonstandard parts using nonstandard processes. 

• A general understanding of small airplane architecture including airframes.
