CNC Programmer

Why Fibreworks Composites?

Founded in 2009, Fibreworks Composites has evolved from building high-performance motorsports parts into the largest privately-owned composite manufacturer in the U.S. In 2019, we expanded our capabilities with the launch of Composite Factory, an AS9100 / ISO-certified sister company focused on Aerospace, Defense, Aviation, and Medical industries—sectors that demand the highest levels of traceability, quality, and innovation.

Our roots in motorsports have shaped a fast-paced, dynamic culture that thrives on precision, problem-solving, and exceeding expectations. Fully vertically integrated, we bring engineering, machining, and tool-making under one roof to deliver cutting-edge composite solutions on tight timelines with unmatched quality.

If you're looking to be part of a team that pushes boundaries and works with the most advanced technologies in the composites industry, this is where the future is being built!
