About the role
As a Composites Engineer, you’ll own the engineering, development, and production of our ultra-light deployable composite structures. This role sits at the intersection of design, analysis, and hands-on manufacturing: you’ll refine laminate schedules, develop new layup processes, design tooling and fixtures, run experiments, and drive the factory-floor workflows that take a concept from CAD to flight hardware.
What they're looking for
- 4–6 years of composites engineering experience spanning design, processing, and manufacturing
- Strong background in composite materials engineering, aerospace structures, or manufacturing engineering
- Experience designing and producing thin high-precision composite laminates (prepreg preferred)
- Hands-on experience with composite processing: layup, cure, debulk, trimming, bonding, inspection
- Experience developing tooling, mold design, or fixture design for composite components
- Familiarity with structural analysis of composite parts (FEA, laminate theory, material allowables)
More about this role
At Reflect, you will be expected to move fast, have a lot of ownership and, most importantly, be able to effect change. If this excites you, we are interested in hearing about your best work and accomplishments across any domain and from any points in your life.

You will be responsible for improving yield, repeatability, and performance across all composite processes—curing, layup, machining, bonding, inspection, and structural validation—while collaborating closely with design engineering, test, and manufacturing. Your work directly determines the performance of the composite structures we’re flying to space.
