Faster Composites
Layup manufactures composite parts and the tooling to make those parts. We are developing tools that will put parts in our customers hands faster than has previously been possible. Our goal is to ship parts faster than our competition can return a quote.
The Lead Estimator will partner closely with the CEO to develop project quotations, conduct initial design‑for‑manufacture reviews, and provide design feedback to customers. This role requires deep expertise in composite part and tooling design to produce accurate cost and lead‑time estimates that feed into Layup’s proprietary software.
Working in an early‑stage startup, the Lead Estimator must balance strategic system development with day‑to‑day estimating tasks, shaping processes that support the company’s growth over the next months to years. The position offers flexibility in title, pay, and responsibilities to match the candidate’s strengths.
Compensation ranges from $90,000 to $160,000 annually, complemented by equity grants, a 401(k) plan, unlimited PTO plus nine federal holidays, and a full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, disability, and company‑paid life insurance.
