R&D Engineer (Advanced Composites)

About the Role

We are seeking an innovative R&D Engineer on behalf of a leading international protective equipment and advanced composite manufacturer based in Rayong. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in engineering next-generation, high-performance protective gear and composite structures distributed worldwide.

If you are excited by the challenge of transforming complex aerodynamic concepts and advanced materials into life-saving, production-ready products, this is an outstanding opportunity to accelerate your engineering career with a global industry leader.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Modeling: Lead end-to-end composite design, developing complex 3D surface and solid CAD models (SolidWorks or CATIA) for outer shells, multi-density impact liners, and mechanical mechanisms.
Simulation & Analysis: Conduct structural FEA and dynamic impact simulations to optimize stress distribution and structural integrity prior to tooling.
Material Testing: Perform material evaluations and Design of Experiments (DOE) on carbon fiber, fiberglass, aramid reinforcements, thermoset resins, and energy-absorbing polymer foams.
Prototyping & Validation: Coordinate physical testing—including drop and penetration tests—to ensure compliance with international safety certifications (e.g., ECE, DOT).
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with tooling, production, and quality teams to implement DFM/DFA principles, conduct root-cause analyses, and transition prototypes into serial production.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Materials, Polymer/Composite, or Aerospace Engineering.
2–5 years of hands-on R&D or design engineering experience within composite materials, automotive safety, sporting goods, or protective equipment.
Strong proficiency in 3D CAD surface modeling (SolidWorks or CATIA) and practical experience with structural or dynamic FEA/CAE simulations.
Solid technical understanding of composite manufacturing processes (e.g., prepreg layup, compression molding, resin infusion) and material characterization.
Fluent Thai for on-site operations, with good English communication skills for technical documentation and international collaboration.

What We Offer

Competitive Salary: 40,000 – 55,000 THB per month.
Benefits: Comprehensive corporate benefits package.
Career Growth: Direct exposure to global product development standards within a world-class manufacturing facility.
