What does an explosive engineer do?

An Explosive Engineer specializes in the safe design, handling, and use of explosives for various applications such as mining, demolition, and construction. They analyze blast requirements, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and oversee controlled detonations. Their work involves risk assessment, environmental considerations, and collaboration with other engineers to achieve project goals efficiently and safely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an explosive engineer?

To succeed as an Explosive Engineer, you need a solid background in chemical engineering, physics, and materials science, typically backed by a relevant engineering degree and specialized training in explosives. Familiarity with modeling software, blast simulation tools, and certifications such as ATF licensing or IMES compliance are often required. Strong problem-solving abilities, meticulous attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help distinguish top professionals in this field. These competencies are critical for ensuring safety, complying with regulations, and delivering successful project outcomes involving hazardous materials.

What is a typical work environment like for an explosive engineer?

Explosive Engineers often split their time between office-based planning and on-site fieldwork, which can include mines, construction sites, or testing facilities. You may collaborate closely with safety officers, site managers, and regulatory authorities to design, implement, and monitor controlled explosions. The role frequently involves strict adherence to safety protocols, detailed documentation, and ongoing risk assessments to ensure compliance with local and federal regulations. While the environment can be high-pressure and requires the utmost precision, it also offers opportunities to work with cutting-edge technology and be part of multidisciplinary teams tackling complex engineering challenges.

CACI is looking for an Opto-Mechanical Engineer to join our Photonics team-- we are expanding! Our laser communications technology is helping NASA provide high-definition video from the International Space Station, and to explore asteroids 250 million miles away. Our other optical technology can also help scientists discover biohazards; support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions; and protect soldiers from explosive devices. Do you have a passion for innovation? Apply now and join the team!
The Opportunity:
  • Under limited direction design the packaging for complex subsystems with optical, photonic, optoelectronic, electrical, and mechanical elements for R&D and production programs for U.S. government customers.
  • Own mechanical designs from concept through flight qualification, including requirements definition, trade studies, and detailed design.
  • Collaborate with optical engineers to translate optical prescriptions into robust mechanical designs.
  • Design optical mounts and systems for launch loads, vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and vacuum environments.
  • Develop and maintain optical alignment strategies, including athermalization and stability over temperature.
  • Produce build-to drawings and data packages and collaborate with and manage 3rd party vendors to resolve specification, performance, and reliability issues and realize the commercial and custom-machined parts necessary to build the subsystem.
  • Support integration, alignment, and test (I&T) activities, including environmental testing and troubleshooting
  • May lead a team of other designers, analysts, and engineering professionals
  • May directly supervise lab technicians

Qualifications:

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering and a minimum of 5 years of related experience or equivalent combination of education, skills, and experience.
  • Proficient use of computer-aided design and analysis software, with SolidWorks and Ansys strongly preferred.
  • Experience working with optomechanical systems, precision structures, or high-stability mechanical assemblies.
  • Strong understanding of optical mounts, materials, tolerancing, and alignment techniques.
  • Familiarity with use of and preparation of CAD models for use in FEA software for thermal and structural (shock and vibration) analysis
  • Familiarity with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) methodologies, with experience applying these principles to improve product quality and manufacturability.
  • Must be a US Citizen.

Desired:
  • Experience in the design of complex subsystems with optical, photonic, optoelectronic, electrical, and mechanical elements.
  • Experience with gimbal systems or other precision motion control mechanisms, including design, integration, and optimization for applications in optical systems or robotics.
  • Familiarity with material behavior in space environments, such as CTE matching, thermal gradients, and outgassing considerations.
  • Proven experience conducting mechanical simulations using ANSYS Mechanical (static, modal, thermal, nonlinear, or dynamic).
  • Experience in optical and electronic subassembly layout including board physical design, chassis or enclosure design, optical fiber routing, and electrical and optical connector selection.
  • Master's degree preferred
