• Two to five years of experience working with composite materials; strong student-team experience will also be considered.
• Genuine enjoyment of practical laboratory work, including specimen preparation, testing, and fixture troubleshooting.
• Experience handling resins and chemicals safely, with the ability to develop procedures where they do not yet exist.
• A methodical approach to experimental work, measurement, documentation, and data quality.
• Fluent English and the ability to communicate technical results clearly.

Desirable experience

• Carbon-fibre materials, resin systems, prepregs, laminates, or other aerospace composites.
• Composite test standards, including ASTM, ISO, or equivalent methods.
• Laboratory equipment such as DSC, DMA, tensile-test systems, microscopy, or similar materials-characterisation equipment.
• Working proficiency in German.

Benefits and important information:

• We offer top-decile compensation packages, bonuses and meaningful equity, to attract exceptional aerospace talent.
• Every employee is awarded stock options in the company, you will directly benefit from your own hard work and success.
• Comprehensive relocation support including flights, shipping and visas.
