What is the difference between Full Time Pyrotechnic Engineer vs Part Time Pyrotechnic Technician?

AspectFull Time Pyrotechnic EngineerPart Time Pyrotechnic Technician
CredentialsCertifications in pyrotechnics, engineering degree often preferredBasic certifications, on-the-job training
Work EnvironmentFull-time employment on large productions, safety protocolsPart-time roles at events, smaller setups
Industry UsageUsed in large-scale fireworks displays, film productionsUsed for smaller events, local shows

Full Time Pyrotechnic Engineers typically hold advanced certifications and work full-time on major productions, ensuring safety and technical precision. Part Time Pyrotechnic Technicians usually have basic certifications and work on smaller events or local displays. The main difference lies in employment status, scope of work, and project size.

Job description

General Overview

APEX TK is seeking a detail-driven Production Engineer to support the Targets and Countermeasures team of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). In this role, you will be directly responsible for verifying that critical missile flight hardware and propulsion systems are designed, fabricated, integrated, and tested strictly in accordance with baseline standards. You will evaluate prime contractor design and manufacturing processes, conduct technical reviews, and enforce compliance with industry mission assurance frameworks-specifically AIAA S-113 (Criteria for Explosive Systems and Devices on Space and Launch Vehicles) and related aerospace standards (such as AIAA S-114, AIAA S-080/081, SMC-S-016, or AFSPCMAN 91-710).

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Design & Build Verification: Audit prime contractor engineering designs, drawing packages, manufacturing processes, and assembly records to ensure end items are built strictly to approved baseline specifications and flight-worthiness requirements.
  • AIAA S-113 & Standards Compliance: Apply AIAA S-113 (and related space/launch vehicle standards) to assess ordnance, explosive devices, pyrotechnic separation mechanisms, pressure vessels, and mechanical/propulsion subsystems across all design and production phases.
  • Peer Reviews & Milestone Gates: Participate in technical baseline reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR, FRR), ensuring objective evidence supports mission assurance criteria before moving to integration and flight test.
  • Nonconformance & Root Cause Analysis: Evaluate Material Review Board (MRB) dispositions, deviations, and waivers. Oversee Failure Review Boards (FRBs) to determine root cause and ensure proper corrective/preventative actions (CAPA) are implemented.
  • Hardware Acceptance & Verification: Review and approve Qualification and Acceptance Test Procedures (QTPs/ATPs) and corresponding test results. Serve as the on-site engineering witness during critical testing events as required.
  • Supplier Integration & Oversight: Lead Integrated Product Team (IPT) meetings with supplier partners to maintain rigorous schedule alignment, track deliverables, and drive rapid technical problem resolution.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

  • Security Clearance: Active DoD Secret
  • Education & Experience: Bachelor of Science in STEM Field with 7+ years supporting missile defense or large-scale, complex DoD programs. Strong preference for Aerospace, Mechanical, and Electrical engineering.
  • Standards Expertise: Demonstrated working knowledge and practical application of AIAA S-113 (or closely related launch/flight vehicle criteria such as AIAA S-114, SMC-S-016, TOR standards, or NASA-STD-8739/AFSPCMAN equivalents).
  • Technical Review Skills: Proven ability to interpret technical drawings, schematics, engineering change orders (ECOs/ECPs), and manufacturing work instructions to verify build integrity.
  • Communication: Strong technical writing and presentation skills, capable of defending engineering assessments to government program leadership and contractor teams.

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:

  • Direct experience supporting MDA programs (e.g., Targets and Countermeasures, GMD, THAAD, Aegis BMD).
  • Hands-on experience evaluating pyrotechnic devices, initiation systems, electro-explosive devices (EEDs), solid rocket motors, or high-reliability electro-mechanical assemblies.
