The posting

At Layup Parts, we're developing the technology that will build the future.

We're a manufacturing technology company replacing months of lead time with days, using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems built for speed. Our customers are inventing what's next, in aerospace, defense, robotics, and beyond. To keep up with them, manufacturing has to change. That's what we're building.

We value initiative, teamwork, and a get-it-done attitude. We’re building a crew of outstanding individuals who take pride in their work, learn from one another, and aren’t afraid to tackle challenges head-on.

What You’ll Do:

  • Manufacture composite tooling from plugs, masters, and patterns
  • Perform wet layup, resin infusion, and prepreg lamination for tooling applications
  • Lay up fiberglass, carbon fiber, and other reinforcements using templates, dimensions, or projection systems
  • Mix, degas, and apply resins, gel coats, and surface coats as required
  • Build and install vacuum bags, perform leak checks, and run assigned cure cycles
  • Place and manage consumables including release film, peel ply, breather, thermocouples, and related materials
  • Prepare and maintain tooling: sand, polish, seal, release, and maintain molds
  • Demold tools and parts and perform trimming, sanding, polishing, and surface improvement
  • Perform cosmetic refinement to meet surface finish and durability requirements
  • Apply tool sealing systems, mold release agents, and surface treatments
  • Support tooling repairs, rework, and ongoing maintenance as needed
  • Inspect tooling surfaces for defects, print-through, porosity, and dimensional issues
  • Follow travelers, drawings, and process documentation
  • Document material usage, freeze/thaw status, cure data, and production activities in Layup’s internal systems
  • Maintain clean, organized workspaces and tooling assets
  • Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams
  • Provide hands-on feedback to engineering for process and tooling design improvements
  • Identify issues early and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives

What We’re Looking For:

  • Be awesome! Be the kind of person you want to work with!
  • Have 3+ years experience as a technician in composites manufacturing, and have an understanding of industry best practices
  • Have a high sense of urgency, with a strong attention to detail and a resolve to deliver the highest quality.
  • Identify and solve problems quickly and communicate issues clearly to leadership and engineering to prevent recurring issues.
  • Be comfortable to read and interpret layup books, as well as working from process controlling work instructions.
  • Be proficient in using common measuring and assembly tools such as calipers, scales, tape measures, torque wrenches, hand drills, etc.
  • Be comfortable learning new methods and technologies, and incorporating them into your workflow.
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs, stand for long periods and work hands-on in a production setting.

Preferred:

  • Have experience in aerospace and/or motorsport.
  • Have experience in multiple aspects of the manufacturing process such as: operating ply cutter, mold finishing and releasing, mold maintenance, lamination, bagging, curing, de-molding, trimming and/or finishing.
  • Have the flexibility to work extended hours/weekends when required to meet customer timelines.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
