Job Description

Light Composites is an AS9100:D / ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of advanced carbon fiber composite structures for aerospace, defense, and medical customers in Poway, CA. We are a small-batch, high-mix shop where engineers own problems end to end - some days you are designing tooling and programming toolpaths at a desk, other days you are on the floor making a build work.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

- Manufacturing process development from prototype through production

- Tooling and fixture design

- CAM programming and CNC support

- Manufacturing documentation: work instructions, travelers, MBOMs, process specifications

- Shop-floor problem solving, MRB dispositions, and corrective actions

- Continuous improvement in cost, cycle time, and quality

WHAT YOU BRING

- 3+ years of manufacturing engineering experience (composites strongly preferred)

- Hands-on knowledge of composite processes: prepreg layup, oven/autoclave cure, trimming and machining

- CAD/CAM proficiency (Fusion 360 preferred)

- Blueprint fluency and GD&T

- Experience working in AS9100 or a similar quality system

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience

- A bias for the floor: we hire problem solvers, not spectators

REQUIREMENTS

- Reliable transportation to and from work

- Legally authorized to work in the United States; must meet the U.S. Person definition per ITAR

- Consistent, punctual attendance; willingness to work occasional overtime to meet production schedules

- Commitment to shop safety practices and required PPE

- Physical requirements: able to lift up to 50 lbs and stand/walk for extended periods, with or without reasonable accommodation

- Ability to pass a background check and drug screen

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Salary range: $95,000 - $120,000 depending on experience

- Medical, dental, and vision through ADP TotalSource

- 401(k)

- Paid time off and paid holidays
