Mix, handle, and apply resins and adhesives per process specification, including pot life, mix ratio, and material traceability
Cure COPV overwraps and bonded assemblies in ovens or autoclaves, including thermocouple placement and process monitoring
Trim and finish composite and composite-metallic COPV assemblies to drawing requirements
Assemble COPV hardware, including setup, bonding, and fastener installation at bosses, fittings, and related structure

Experience reading and interpreting engineering drawings, including drawing symbols, flag notes, and general notes
Ability to follow written and verbal instructions and to work from travelers and SOPs (standard operating procedures)
Experience with oven or autoclave cure cycles and thermocouple placement
Experience building flight hardware or other pressure-critical composite structures
Attention to detail and accuracy while working in a fast-paced production environment
