Project Engineer

At Managing Composites, we’re looking for a technical Project Engineer someone who thrives in the day‑to‑day reality of a project: supporting designers, unblocking issues, coordinating with suppliers, and keeping the technical flow moving.

This role is not a PM position focused on budgets, financials, or high‑level strategy.

Here, you’ll be the owner of a part or system working closely with all the functions involved in the project, including design, analysis and manufacturing engineers, , understanding parts and its function, defining cost/weight/technical targets and making sure design progresses smoothly.

If you enjoy being hands-on with the technical side of projects, you’ll love it here.

Responsibilities 

• Ownership of the parts / systems assigned understanding their function and challenges: set cost/weight/technical targets and identify risk and opportunities during the development.
• Work side‑by‑side with the cross functional engineers, helping to clarify requirements, breaking down tasks, reviewing designs, and challenging technical options when needed.
• Act as the main problem‑solver: set priorities, unblock missing information, chase dependencies, coordinate stakeholders, and remove obstacles so the team can move fast.
• Drive delivery through planning and control: set and maintain a clear timeline aligned with the program plan, ensure engineers receive the right inputs at the right time, and track progress to keep milestones on schedule
• Communicate daily with suppliers/customers and internal teams (engineering, purchasing, workshop), including on-site visits when needed to accelerate decisions and issue resolution.
• Maintain end-to-end technical tracking for assigned parts/systems: documentation, versions/changes, risks & opportunities, deliverables, and clear status updates to keep the team aligned

Requirements 

• Strong technical understanding: Understanding how composite parts are designed and manufactured, familiarity with materials, layups, thicknesses, tolerances, GD&T, and overall design implications, able to discuss design decisions, evaluate alternatives, and support the with technical judgement. (You don’t need to be a CAE or CAD engineer, but you do need to “speak engineering”.)
• Comfortable working within budget and time constraints, planning resources and collaborating with different stakeholders.

• Competence with Excel and control sheets to ensure visibility and traceability.
• Excellent habits for tracking work, maintaining logs, and keeping documentation tidy.
• Comfortable talking to designers, suppliers, customers, and internal teams in English and Spanish.
