We're Hiring: Materials & Process Engineer
Full time | Core Team
LAT Aerospace | Civil

LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.
The Materials & Process Engineer role sits at the intersection of materials science, structural engineering, testing, and manufacturing. You will research and qualify materials for different aircraft applications, build reliable material databases and models, and translate those results into repeatable manufacturing processes.

What you'll do
- Research and evaluate composite materials for different aircraft structures and operating environments.
- Develop and characterize CFRP, GFRP, and honeycomb sandwich structures for primary and secondary aircraft applications.
- Understand material behaviour under tensile, compressive, shear, bearing, fatigue, and environmental loading.




- Design and execute coupon-level material characterization and validation programs.
- Develop and maintain material allowables, databases, and material models for structural analysis.
- Correlate material models and FEA with experimental test data.
- Develop and validate adhesive systems, including adhesive selection, characterization, modelling, and manufacturing application.
- Characterise different layup techniques, tooling boards and assembly techniques.
- Develop manufacturing processes that improve and quantify repeatability, quality, and scalability of composite structures using statistical analysis.
- Work closely with structural design, manufacturing, and testing teams to translate material technology into production-ready aircraft hardware.
- Investigate material and manufacturing failures and drive improvements through testing and process iteration.

What we're looking for
- 3-4 years of hands-on composite manufacturing experience in aerospace or
