Job description

AT Process Technologies (ATP) is a pioneering manufacturing company focused on the development and deployment of modular energetics production plants. Using breakthrough chemistry and automation that operates continuously and generates little to no waste, ATP is expanding energetics production to meet the munitions demands of the US and Allies safely, rapidly, and cost effectively.

Summary

ATP is building a core team to assemble, wire, and stand up the autonomous skidded production systems that will redefine how energetics are manufactured. As our Engineering Technician, you will be the hands that turn engineering designs into working hardware - building mechanical assemblies, wiring control panels, fabricating parts, and supporting ground operations at ATP and customer sites. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across mechanical, electrical, and fabrication tasks, moves fast without cutting corners, and can troubleshoot hardware issues on the shop floor in real time.

• Support installation and termination of sensors, actuators, valves, and instrumentation on process skids
• Assist with PLC I/O checkout, point-to-point wire verification, and basic troubleshooting of control circuits
• Support hardware-in-the-loop testing, commissioning, and factory/site acceptance testing alongside engineers
• Perform ground ops support at ATP and customer sites: rigging, equipment moves, staging, and field installation
• Identify and flag build issues, fit-up problems, and wiring discrepancies before they become integration problems
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe shop and field work environment
