About this role
We're Hiring: Materials & Process Engineer
Full-Time | Core Team
LAT Aerospace | Aircraft
LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.
The Materials & Process Engineer role sits at the intersection of materials science, structural engineering, testing, and manufacturing. You will research and qualify materials for different aircraft applications, build reliable material databases and models, and translate those results into repeatable manufacturing processes.
What you'll do
- Research and evaluate composite materials for different aircraft structures and operating environments.
- Develop and characterize CFRP, GFRP, and honeycomb sandwich structures for primary and secondary aircraft applications.
- Understand material behaviour under tensile, compressive, shear, bearing, fatigue, and environmental loading.
- Design and execute coupon-level material characterization and validation programs.
- Develop and maintain material allowables, databases, and material models for structural analysis.
- Correlate material models and FEA with experimental test data.
- Develop and validate adhesive systems, including adhesive selection, characterization, modelling, and manufacturing application.
- Characterise different layup techniques, tooling boards and assembly techniques.
- Develop manufacturing processes that improve and quantify repeatability, quality, and scalability of composite structures using statistical analysis.
- Work closely with structural design, manufacturing, and testing teams to translate material technology into production-ready aircraft hardware.
- Investigate material and manufacturing failures and drive improvements through testing and process iteration.
What we're looking for
- 3-4 years of hands-on composite manufacturing experience in aerospace or high-performance builds.
- Postgraduate degree (M.Tech/MS/PhD http://M.Tech/MS/PhD) in Materials, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
- Strong fundamentals in mold design, layup development, prepreg/autoclave processing, and cure cycle optimization.
- Deep understanding of composite mechanics, failure modes, material characterization, and manufacturing processes.
- Experience designing and executing coupon and sub-component testing programs.
- Strong understanding of adhesives, bonding processes, and adhesive characterization/modelling.
- Experience developing material databases, allowables, and inputs for structural analysis.
- Strong statistical/data analysis skills for understanding material and manufacturing variability and establishing process repeatability.
- Comfortable troubleshooting on the floor and working in fast-paced prototyping environments.
- Experience with non-destructive testing (UT, thermography, tap testing) and quality inspection methods.
Why LAT?
- No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
- Rapid hardware iteration culture.
- Own the complete journey from engineering design to flight-ready hardware.

Published on Ashby under the board identifier Lat, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
