  • Investigate adhesive and material-related issues across the product lifecycle, conducting root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including design, analysis, systems, manufacturing, and quality—to integrate adhesive solutions into complex assemblies

  • Support supplier engagement and evaluation to ensure material quality, process capability, and alignment with aerospace requirements

  • Develop new measurement methodologies, manufacturing processes, and quality control checks to enhance reliability and robustness

  • Stay current with industry standards, emerging technologies, and regulatory developments related to adhesives and bonding

  • Document technical findings, specifications, and qualification results to support traceability and compliance

  • Contribute to cross-functional initiatives focused on materials innovation, sustainability, and lifecycle performance

  • Support the wider materials team and perform other duties as required.

Skills and experience required:

  • Previous proven experience in adhesive bonding within an industrial setting, ideally in aerospace or automotive sectors

  • Strong materials engineering background with a focus on adhesives, their selection, bonding processes, joint design, and the ability to apply this knowledge to real-world challenges

  • Broad understanding of materials and their manufacturing processes, including metals, polymers, composites, and adhesives

  • Analytical and creative problem-solving skills, with a structured approach to implementing effective solutions

  • Strong communication skills with experience engaging suppliers and customers

  • Willingness to travel as required, both domestically and internationally
