iCOMAT has developed a patented composite manufacturing technology that offers significant benefits when applied to products which need to be highly optimised for mass, reliability, production rate and cost.

Space is an important market for iCOMAT, and we're currently working with ESA and MT Aerospace (Germany) on a technology applicable to space flight structures. In addition, iCOMAT is engaged and working with leading companies across Europe, the US, Japan and South Korea.

The benefits to space of iCOMAT’s technology is exemplified by Launch Vehicles whose mass comprises 90% fuel, 8% structure and 2% payload delivered to orbit. Work with ESA has demonstrated that iCOMATs technology can reduce structural mass by 25%, potentially doubling the mass delivered to orbit for the same or less cost. Other applications include structurally significant equipment such as propellant tanks, RF and optical reflectors and satellite panels.

iCOMAT has recently received private investment in excess of $20M to enable it to expand its team and will complete the fit out of our new 40,000 sq.ft. factory near Gloucester in towards the end of 2025.

At iCOMAT you will be joining a team that blends the energy of a youthful start-up (spun out from the University of Bristol in 2019) with experienced engineers and managers in an organisation that values coaching and mentoring. For this position our non-executive chairman Ben Olivier will support your development in addition to other members of the executive team.
