Process Engineer

About the role

GEOTEK makes engineered fiberglass composite structures for utility infrastructure — crossarms, light poles, and related products — using pultrusion and filament winding. We've been doing it for over 30 years and we're growing. We're hiring a Composite Process Engineer to own process development and improvement on our composite manufacturing floor, with a primary focus on filament winding.

Responsibilities

• Lead process development for filament wound composite products — from equipment and tooling design through production launch
• Own continuous improvement initiatives: identify problems, build the project plan, drive resolution
• Support pultrusion and filament winding operations with root cause analysis and technical troubleshooting
• Design fixtures and tooling in SolidWorks
• Develop and maintain work instructions, troubleshooting guides, and process documentation
• Scope and manage capital projects — new equipment, new tooling, process upgrades
• Use our test lab to optimize composite designs for performance and manufacturability
• Support off-shift trials when needed
• Coach and train operations crews on composite processes and equipment

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (mechanical, manufacturing, composites, or chemical preferred); GPA 3.25+
• 2–4 years of hands-on process engineering experience in a continuous manufacturing environment; recent composites experience — filament winding or pultrusion — strongly preferred
• SolidWorks proficiency: parts, assemblies, drawings, GD&T per ANSI Y14.5
• Familiarity with thermoset resin systems (polyester, vinyl-ester, urethane) is a real plus

Qualifications

• Strong communicator across all levels — line operators to executives
• Organized, detail-oriented, and consistent with documentation

Skills

• Physical Work Conditions: Time should be split between the floor and the office or meeting rooms ranging anywhere from 25% to 75% on the production floor or engineering labs. While working on the floor there will be work with and around moving machinery, fumes and chemicals. Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone.

Pay

The compensation range for this position is $74,386 - $102,280. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications.

Schedule
