Composite Materials Engineer
Job
Description - Composite Materials Engineer
Diakon
Solutions is seeking an engineer to join our team providing
technical support and expertise to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Advanced Materials and Structures safety
research program under the FAA Structures and Materials Section. Our
support to this Section has included the design and implementation
of the FAA’s newly-completed Structures and Materials Laboratory,
which has now been in operation for two years. The Structures and
Materials Laboratory is a 10,000 square foot facility that was
designed and is dedicated to the scientific research, development,
testing and evaluation of technologies, products, processes and
procedures related to aviation structures and materials. The
Structures and Materials Laboratory is located within the FAA’s
William J. Hughes Technical Center at the Atlantic City
International Airport near the beaches of Atlantic City, NJ. The
engineering position that we seek to fill is to provide support in
all phases of equipping, operating and applying a laboratory
composites fabrication capability including wet lay-up, pre-preg
layup, robotic fiber placement, and curing, and to support all the
research project work that is described below.
Project Description - Composites and Advanced
Materials Research Support
Diakon
Solutions provides technical support and expertise to the FAA
Advanced Materials and Structures safety research program. This
support includes the development of technical information and data
regarding research into certification issues surrounding the use of
advanced materials in aircraft components and structures. Advanced
materials include the use of composites, novel metallic alloys,
blended structures, nanomaterials, intelligent electrostatic
materials, and other materials utilized in aircraft design and
manufacture. Diakon Solutions assists in reviewing technical reports
pertaining to research in this field, provides expert knowledge and
opinion regarding research results, contributes to the development
of materials handbooks and white papers, and updates criteria
associated with certification/design guidelines and advisory
circulars from research outputs. Diakon Solutions also assists in
the technical evaluation of new and/or continuing research
activities, reviews technical proposals, and generates data on
various Advanced Materials and Structures projects to insure
research projects contain both appropriate direction and scientific
methodology that conform to FAA goals. Additionally, this support
entails creating specific technical information and data; often
regarding research into novel materials/structures such as
composites and nanoscale materials applicable to aircraft
technologies, as needed within the Advanced Materials and Structures
research program areas. In addition, Diakon Solutions assists in
both the dissemination of technical information and the assessment
of presented information regarding FAA Advanced Materials and
Structures safety research programs at both program reviews and
technical exchange meetings. We also provide support in all phases
of equipping and operating a laboratory composites fabrication
capability including wet lay-up, pre-preg layup, robotic fiber
placement, and curing.
Educational and/or Experience Requirements
