Fiberglass/Composite Technician

Job Overview

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Composite Infusion Technician to perform vacuum-assisted resin infusion processes in a production manufacturing environment.

The Infusion Technician is responsible for preparing composite assemblies, installing vacuum-bagging systems, establishing and maintaining vacuum integrity, mixing and managing resin systems, and controlling the infusion process to produce consistent, high-quality composite components.

This is a hands-on production position where attention to detail, process discipline, and the ability to identify problems before they become defects are critical.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare composite molds and layups for vacuum infusion.
• Verify material placement, orientation, overlap, and sequence before bagging.
• Install peel ply, flow media, distribution media, vacuum film, sealant tape, breather, and other consumables according to established work instructions.
• Properly position vacuum ports, resin inlet lines, vacuum lines, and flow-control components.
• Build vacuum-bagging systems that provide uniform and reliable vacuum throughout the part.
• Perform vacuum leak checks and troubleshoot leaks before beginning infusion.
• Verify vacuum levels meet established process requirements before introducing resin.
• Prepare resin systems according to approved formulations and production requirements.
• Accurately measure resin, catalyst, hardener, and additives when applicable.
• Monitor resin temperature, working time, viscosity, and other process variables as required.
• Control resin flow during infusion to ensure proper wet-out and minimize dry spots, race tracking, voids, and other defects.
• Monitor the infusion from start to completion and respond quickly to process abnormalities.
• Maintain appropriate vacuum throughout the cure cycle.
• Follow established resin, catalyst, temperature, and cure requirements.
• Remove vacuum-bagging materials after the required cure cycle.
• Inspect infused parts for visible defects, dry areas, voids, resin-rich areas, bridging, wrinkles, and other abnormalities.
• Identify and communicate defects or process deviations immediately.
• Maintain accurate production and process documentation.
• Maintain clean, organized, and safe work areas.
• Properly handle resins, catalysts, solvents, and other chemical materials.
• Follow all applicable SDS, PPE, environmental, and safety requirements.
• Work closely with mold preparation, layup, trimming, and finishing personnel.
• Assist with process improvements and troubleshooting as directed.
• Perform other manufacturing duties as needed.

Quality Expectations

Infusion is a quality-critical manufacturing process. Small mistakes during setup can result in significant defects after the part has been cured.
