  • Hands-on experience with textile-based composites, ceramic fibers, or refractory materials.
  • Proficiency in thermal/mechanical testing methods and data analysis.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-engineers.
Preferred Background & Skills
  • Experience in aerospace, automotive, or industrial insulation/fireproofing.
  • Familiarity with advanced coating technologies and polymer formulations.
  • Knowledge of FEA/CFD thermal analysis tools.
  • Background with textile processing (weaving, automated sewing, CNC textile cutting, and coatings).
Material Science Engineer – The Perks
