Role details
The Sr. M&P Engineer is responsible for developing, validating, and implementing composite materials and manufacturing processes that support the full product lifecycle—from concept design through production readiness. This role focuses on advanced textile-based composite technologies, including 3D Jacquard weaving, conventional 2D weaving, contour weaving, steered weaving, braiding, tufting, and fiber placement.
The Sr. M&P Engineer provides technical leadership within the DFW Group, serving as a subject-matter expert, consultant, and reviewer for materials (composite, metallic, and non‑metallic), process plans, producibility, environmental compliance, and finishes. This role supports both static systems (airframe, propulsion, interiors) and dynamic systems (blades, rotors), and collaborates closely with supply chain, supplier quality, procurement, operations, and manufacturing engineering. A working knowledge of non-destructive inspection methods is essential.
Core Values
All employees are expected to demonstrate Safety, Accountability, Integrity, Respect, Passion, and Innovation. Safety is paramount and must not be compromised. All employees are responsible for their own well-being and the well-being of their coworkers.
Job ResponsibilitiesTechnology Development • Develop novel composite preforming processes using weaving, tufting, braiding, fiber placement, and related textile-based manufacturing methods. • Innovate with 2D/3D woven textiles, unidirectional fabrics, and multi-material preforms. • Lead the design, verification, and validation of new materials, products, technologies, fabrication methods, and test programs.
Process & Manufacturing Support • Identify opportunities for improving existing processes in collaboration with manufacturing engineering. • Assess cost/benefit of proposed improvements and implement approved changes. • Monitor industry technologies and identify new techniques beneficial to AEC operations.
Customer & Cross‑Functional Collaboration • Build and maintain strong relationships with customer technical staff and represent AEC professionally. • Provide technical updates, presentations, and communications to stakeholders.
