It's been years since I worked in the industry so I don't know anyone, but I did spend a couple years designing composite structures and testing the materials. The basics of composites are learned in undergrad mechanical engineering, and you can generally apply them in real life. It's not that complicated. Where composites get tricky is in the details - de-lamination, manufacturing nits, that sort of thing. I would look at engineering schools - someone in a masters program with an interest in composites would get you quite a bit of useful knowledge. Structural composites get tricky, though. Things that are easy with metal (for example, bolting parts together) get hard with composites, and you really have to think hard or you give up all the benefits of composites when you have to engineer around their limitations.
