Job Title: Composite Research Engineer
We are developing a novel composite material recycling technology to full industrial scale and with it solve key problems in the high-tech manufacturing industry related to cost, productivity, and sustainability of carbon fibre composites.
About Us
We are a clean-tech start-up based in Chepstow aiming to turn carbon fibre into the green material of the future with our novel water-based fibre alignment technology. Our technology enables re-use of carbon fibre waste by creating a new aligned fibre feedstock material that can substitute virgin material and produce world's strongest recycled fibre composite products.
Job Overview
As a Composite Research Engineer, you will be responsible for developing material testing and manufacturing procedures for our recycled material. You will lead all material testing efforts, from performing experiments to analysis and reporting of results.
Main Responsibilities:
* Develop and validate new testing methods to accurately and quickly confirm conformance of material produced.
* Perform composite manufacturing trials under varying processing conditions, map the effect on resulting composite material properties and develop best use guides.
* Identify opportunities to enhance product quality, from production to manufacturing methods.
Requirements:
* A degree in Engineering or material science is essential, with a MSc or PhD in fibre composites being desirable.
* Two years of experience working with composite materials and good knowledge of composite manufacturing processes, testing methods.
* Able to perform composite manufacturing and testing activities independently.
We offer a competitive salary package combined with excellent growth and development prospects.
