Advanced Materials Jobs in European Defence56 jobs

Advanced materials roles in European defence span composite structures, energetic materials, armour systems, additive manufacturing and battery technology. The work is physical. Engineers in this field typically spend time in labs, test facilities and production lines rather than behind screens. Employers range from startups like iComat (thermoplastic composites, Bristol), FibreCoat (coated fibres, Aachen), 3YOURMIND (additive manufacturing software, Berlin) and InoBat (battery systems, Bratislava) to established firms like Rolls-Royce, Safran and Rheinmetall, which run large materials R&D programmes tied to next-generation engines, airframes and vehicle protection.
