A cutting -edge startup founded by ex -ISRO scientists. Dedicated to affordable space


access, we're rewriting aerospace technology rules. Our energetic team fosters


inventiveness, collaboration, and relentless excellence. Join us on a transformative


journey to redefine space possibilities. Welcome to the forefront of space innovation


with Skyroot Aerospace!




Purpose of Role:


A Composites Methods Engineer specializes in the design, development, and


manufacturing processes of composite materials They ensure that composite materials


(like carbon fiber, fiberglass, and resins) are effectively integrated into product designs


and manufactured efficiently. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the roles and


responsibilities of a Composites Methods Engineer.




Roles and Responsibilities:


1. Design and Development


• Develop methods for the design and manufacturing of composite materials for


components and structures.


• Work with design teams to ensure composite materials meet the necessary


structural, thermal, and durability requirements.


• Evaluate and analyze product designs for manufacturability and suggest design


changes to optimize the use of composite materials.


• Generate CAD models, technical drawings, and tooling designs for composite


components.


• Provide recommendations to improve product designs, focusing on


manufacturability and material performance.


2. Material Selection and Testing


• Research and select appropriate composite materials (carbon fiber, Kevlar,


glass fiber, resins) for different applications.


• Perform material testing, including tensile, compression, and fatigue testing, to


verify that selected materials meet the required standards and specifications.


• Develop test methods for evaluating the performance of composite structures


under various conditions.


• Analyze and interpret test data to refine material choices and process


parameters.


3. Manufacturing Process Development and Optimization






• Develop and improve composite manufacturing processes (e.g., layup, curing,


resin infusion, and autoclaving).


• Optimize production methods to ensure efficiency, cost -effectiveness, and high


quality.


• Create work instructions and technical documentation to guide manufacturing


teams in the production of composite materials.


• Work closely with production teams to troubleshoot and resolve issues related


to composite manufacturing.


4. Tooling and Equipment Management


• Design and develop tooling, jigs, and fixtures required for the manufacture of


composite components.


• Coordinate the procurement and maintenance of specialized equipment for


composite manufacturing (e.g., autoclaves, vacuum systems, CNC machines).


• Evaluate tooling designs and make recommendations for improvement based


on production feedback.


5. Quality Control and Assurance


• Develop and implement quality control processes to ensure that composite


materials and components meet industry standards (e.g., AS9100 for


aerospace).


• Inspect and validate composite parts and structures during and after


manufacturing.


• Collaborate with quality assurance teams to create inspection protocols and


ensure compliance with safety and performance standards.


• Conduct failure analysis on defective parts and implement corrective actions to


prevent recurrence.


6. Project Management and Collaboration


• Manage projects related to composite material development, from concept to


final production.


• Work closely with cross -functional teams, including designers, engineers, and


production staff, to meet project goals and timelines.






• Provide technical support to manufacturing teams during the production


process.


• Prepare technical reports and presentations to communicate project progress


and outcomes to stakeholders.


7. Research and Innovation


• Stay updated on emerging trends and technologies in composite materials and


manufacturing methods.


• Conduct research on new materials, fabrication techniques, and potential


applications for composites in the industry.


• Experiment with advanced composites and nanomaterials to improve product


performance and reduce weight.


• Explore automation and digital technologies, such as additive manufacturing


and robotics, in composite manufacturing.


8. Compliance and Safety


• Ensure all composite materials and processes comply with industry regulations


and safety standards.


• Develop and implement health and safety procedures related to the handling


and processing of composite materials.


• Ensure that the manufacturing processes adhere to environmental regulations


and sustainability initiatives.




Skills:


• In -depth knowledge of composite materials and processes (e.g., resin infusion,


vacuum bagging, prepreg, and autoclaving).


• Proficiency in CAD software (such as CATIA, SolidWorks) and simulation tools


(FEA).


• Strong understanding of manufacturing techniques, tools, and equipment for


composites.


• Excellent problem -solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot production


issues.


• Knowledge of industry standards (AS9100, ISO9001) and compliance


regulations.


• Strong project management skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a


team.




Qualification:


• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials


Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.


• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in a related field (optional, but beneficial for advanced


roles and R&D; positions).
