Ordnance Engineer

You own every energetic device on the vehicle. Pyro-valves and pyro-actuated mechanisms, and the initiators, safe-and-arm devices, and detonating trains that fire all of them. You also own the physical reality of energetics on the ground: how we buy them, store them, ship them, handle them, and who is allowed to touch them.

This is a first-hire role for the discipline. There is no ordnance group, no qualified pyro train to inherit, and no explosives site plan. Early on you are running trades, calling vendors, and writing specifications. Later you are qualifying hardware, then standing on the pad watching someone install a live initiator against a procedure you wrote and signed.

You will work alongside our Flight Safety System Architect and our Range Safety Lead. Flight Safety owns the AFTS unit, its reliability case, and the firing circuit. You own the safe-and-arm device and everything downstream of it, all non-safety-critical ordnance on the vehicle, and everything to do with energetics on the ground.
