Secret Polygraph not specified
Senior Level Career (10+ yrs experience)
$175,000 - $190,000
Job Description
Workplace Options
This position is fully onsite or hybrid/flex with opportunity to be fully remote/telework for candidates with strong experience and background.
Do you have experience leading fielded DoD warhead or energetic subsystem efforts
Do you have experience with modeling and simulation processes and tools?
If working remote, there will be 25% travel or more to facility. Are you OK with this?
Do you have an active DoD Secret clearance?
Our client is expanding its Weapons & Networked Solutions (WNS) munitions capability to support next-generation precision weapons, obstacle systems, and autonomous payloads. The organization seeks a Principal Engineer - Weapons & Energetics to provide authoritative technical leadership for energetic payload architecture, material selection and qualification, safety, insensitive munitions (IM), test, and production readiness.
The ideal candidate has led fielded DoD warhead or energetic subsystem efforts from early requirements through qualification, safety approval, and production. The individual combines practical engineering judgment with established relationships across the government energetics, weapons safety, range, and supplier communities, and can translate mission needs into defensible technical decisions.
Basic Qualifications:
Education Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering or Mathematics field, plus a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree, plus a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.
Clearance Requirements:
Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at time of hire. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.
Job Description:
Required Skills and Expertise
Demonstrated technical ownership of warhead, energetic payload, munitions, or comparable high-consequence hardware through design, qualification, and production readiness.
Experience defining payload architecture and decomposing system requirements into interfaces, verification evidence, technical trade studies, and risk-reduction plans.
Ability to balance mission effects, safety, insensitive-munitions objectives, integration, manufacturability, cost, and schedule in defensible engineering decisions.
Experience managing interfaces among energetic payloads, initiation or fuzing systems, mechanical structures, and weapon or delivery platforms.
Experience planning and leading verification, qualification, environmental, and live-fire test activities; interpreting results and driving corrective action.
Experience applying system-safety, hazard-analysis, and safety-evidence practices for energetic or safety-critical hardware.
Experience with supplier technical oversight, configuration control, traceability, and technical-data review for controlled or safety-critical components.
Experience with modeling and simulation processes and tools (e.g. Design of Experiments ,Digital Twins, Ansys Tool chain, MATLAB, Hydrocode, CTH).
Technical leadership experience across engineering, safety, test, manufacturing, quality, suppliers, customers, and program management.
Ability to lead technical reviews, communicate risks and evidence clearly, and mentor engineers in disciplined engineering practice.
Highly Desired Differentiators
Leadership on fielded or government-qualified warhead, energetic-payload, or munitions programs.
Direct experience shaping or executing insensitive-munitions strategy, survivability assessment, or associated redesign efforts.
Experience preparing technical evidence for DoD or service munitions-safety reviews.
Background with government laboratories, test ranges, or munitions-development organizations.
Experience using physics-based analysis, modeling, and test correlation to support payload design decisions.
Experience transitioning energetic hardware from development into qualified, repeatable production.
Experience supporting multiple military services, international programs, or controlled export programs.
Our Commitment to You
An exciting career path with opportunities for continuous learning and development.
Research oriented work, alongside award winning teams developing practical solutions for our nation’s security
Flexible schedules with every other Friday off work, if desired (9/80 schedule)
Competitive benefits, including 401k matching, flex time off, paid parental leave, healthcare benefits, health & wellness programs, employee resource and social groups, and more
