The Role
The Product Engineer will design and develop frontend interfaces using React and TypeScript, collaborate with operations and manufacturing teams, and oversee feature implementation from concept to production.
Summary Generated by Built In
At Layup Parts, our mission is simple: deliver composite parts faster. We’re not just another machine shop—we’re a technology-first manufacturing startup that’s revolutionizing how composite tooling and parts are made for the aerospace, defense, and motorsports industries. Our customers are developing tomorrow's high-tech products, and we are building technology to accelerate their success.
We are looking for a Product Engineer, primarily focused on frontend, who can take features from early concept to production release. You’ll collaborate directly with founders, operations, and manufacturing teams to shape the tools enabling real-world production workflows, streamline internal processes, and deliver a great experience for both our team and customers.
What You’ll Do:
- Design UX flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI in Figma.
- Build clean, maintainable React + TypeScript interfaces for internal systems and customer-facing apps.
- Own features end-to-end: requirements, design, implementation, testing, rollout, and iteration.
- Partner directly with production, operations, and engineering to understand workflows and translate them into intuitive digital tools.
- Contribute to our design system and build reusable components.
- Integrate with backend APIs and participate in API design discussions.
- Identify UX issues, propose improvements, and help shape product direction.
About You:
- Be awesome! Be the kind of person you want to work with!
- Experience in frontend, product or full-stack engineering.
- Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and modern component architecture.
- Skilled in UX/UI design with Figma and capable of turning designs into polished interfaces.
- Comfortable working directly with end users and owning features in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong eye for usability, clean UI, and thoughtful interaction design.
- High autonomy, strong ownership mindset, and interest in understanding physical workflows.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with MES, ERP, scheduling, or other internal operational tools.
- Background in manufacturing, industrial engineering, composites, or CAD/CAM.
- Familiarity with backend technologies and languages (Go, Python, Node).
- Experience with design systems or component libraries (MUI, Radix, Tailwind).
- Exposure to data modeling, metrics, or analytics.

The Company
What We Do
Our goal is to deliver composite parts faster than any other supplier in the market. We want to continually impress our customers with our speed, quality, and responsiveness to their needs.
Why Work With Us
We plan to achieve our goals by building and implementing technology that hasn’t yet been applied to the composites industry, including: automated customer quoting, automated tooling design, integrating software with hardware to reduce engineering and production workloads, and implementing latest developments in 3D printing.
