Are you passionate about composite materials and innovation in the aerospace industry?
Join a leading international company with over 40 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of aerostructures and engine components for major OEMs. We are launching a new composite engineering technical center at our site in Vila Nova de Gaia (Portugal)—and we want composite materials engineers to help build it from the ground up.
Why join us? (And why now?)
This is more than just a job. It's an opportunity to:
- Be part of a strategic project with high visibility in the company.
- Join a team where your technical expertise drives innovation.
- Work in an environment that fosters collaboration, continuous learning, and shared success.
- Grow inside a company that promotes long-term careers, internal mobility, and cross-border teamwork.
- Contribute to shaping a new center of excellence in composites—you won't be replacing someone… you'll be creating something.
What you'll do
As a key team member, you'll:
- Design and implement composite processes (RTM, prepregs, dry fiber).
- Create technical documentation for production and inspection.
- Provide hands-on support in manufacturing issue resolution.
- Manage non-conformities and coordinate with engineering teams.
- Contribute to new product development and proposal preparation.
- Act as a technical liaison with international clients and group R&D centers.
What you bring
- Degree in aerospace, mechanical, or industrial engineering (or equivalent proven experience).
- 4–6+ years of experience in composites, ideally in the aerospace industry.
- Knowledge in:
- Auxiliary processes: machining, inspection (CMM, ultrasound), painting.
- CAD/CAM tools: Catia V5 or Siemens NX.
- Simulation software for materials/processes.
- Technologies: RTM, prepregs, dry fiber.
- Fluent English is required; Spanish is a must.
What we offer
- Attractive salary package + annual performance bonus
- Relocation support if you're coming from another country or region
- The chance to build something from scratch, not maintain legacy
- Join a human-focused company recognized for its sustainability, digitalization and culture of innovation
