• Physically fit and able to work outdoors year-round in Central Texas heat; lift and carry 50 lbs repeatedly, dig, climb, and work extended days during test campaigns.
• Practical hands-on skills: vehicle and equipment operation, basic mechanical repair, fencing, welding or fabrication basics, and general property maintenance.
• Valid Texas driver's license with a clean record and the ability to tow trailers; must be able to obtain a HAZMAT endorsement within 6 months.
• Must pass a background check and not be a prohibited person under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g); able to work around energetic materials under ATF rules.
