• Support feasibility studies, equipment selection, procurement, construction, commissioning, and startup.
• Provide technical guidance to process engineers and designers supporting the project.

What Required Skills You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or a related engineering field.
• 8+ years of relevant process engineering experience.
• Demonstrated experience in energetics manufacturing or closely related high-hazard manufacturing.
• Experience developing or integrating the overall process design for a manufacturing facility.
• Strong experience with batch processing, hazardous-material handling, process safety, and specialized material-handling systems.
• Experience developing heat and material balances, PFDs, P&IDs, equipment specifications, and utility requirements.
• Ability to establish a process design basis and advance the design when technical information is incomplete.
• Experience coordinating process requirements across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Strong analytical, technical leadership, and communication skills.

What Desired Skills You’ll Bring:

• Experience supporting greenfield energetics or defense-manufacturing facilities.
• Experience with feasibility studies, conceptual design, Pre-FEED, FEED, or detailed design.
• Experience integrating specialized or proprietary manufacturing technologies into a complete facility design.
• Experience with manufacturing scale-up, technology transfer, commissioning, or startup.
• EPC or engineering consulting experience.
• PE license or progress toward licensure.

Security Clearance Requirement:
