Key responsibilities

  • Plan and execute test events supporting weapons penetration testing programs, ensuring data collection, test integrity, and safety compliance

  • Perform geology characterization activities including site surveys, subsurface analysis, and material property assessments to support test planning

  • Conduct data analysis of test results to interpret geomechanical and penetration data, and support model validation and development

Job description

Description
The Red Gate Group is seeking a talented and motivated Mining and Geological Engineer to support critical Test & Evaluation (T&E) programs in Albuquerque, NM. In this role, you will contribute to the planning, execution, and analysis of weapons penetration testing and conventional weapons effects modeling efforts. You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and analysts to characterize geologic conditions, validate computational models, and deliver actionable data insights that inform national defense capabilities. This position offers the opportunity to apply your geological and engineering expertise in a high-impact, mission-driven environment supporting U.S. government defense programs.
Key Responsibilities
  • Plan and execute test events in support of weapons penetration testing programs, ensuring accurate data collection, test integrity, and compliance with applicable safety and programmatic requirements
  • Perform geology characterization activities including site surveys, subsurface analysis, and material property assessments to support target media definition and test planning
  • Conduct data analysis of test results, interpreting geomechanical and penetration data to assess weapon system performance and inform model inputs
  • Support development, application, and validation of conventional weapons effects models, including comparison of model predictions against empirical test data
  • Collaborate with systems engineers and analysts to integrate geological and geotechnical findings into broader T&E frameworks and program documentation
  • Prepare and deliver technical reports, briefings, and data packages to support program reviews, stakeholder communication, and model validation milestones
  • Identify and resolve technical discrepancies between modeled and observed outcomes, recommending refinements to improve predictive accuracy of weapons effects tools

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mining Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geology, Geotechnical Engineering, or a closely related field
  • 8 years of relevant professional experience in geological engineering, geomechanics, or a related technical discipline consistent with journeyman-level proficiency
  • Demonstrated experience in test planning and/or test execution within an engineering or scientific T&E environment
  • Working knowledge of geologic site characterization methods, including subsurface investigation, soil/rock classification, and material property testing
  • Proficiency in data analysis techniques and tools applicable to geomechanical or engineering test data (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Excel, or equivalent)
  • Familiarity with computational modeling and model validation processes, including the evaluation of simulation outputs against experimental data
  • US Citizen with an Active Top Secret / SCI security clearance (required at time of application)

Desired Qualifications
  • Prior experience supporting weapons penetration testing or hard and deeply buried target (HDBT) defeat programs within a DoW or national laboratory environment
  • Familiarity with conventional weapons effects models such as AFRL penetration codes, AUTODYN, LS-DYNA, or equivalent physics-based simulation tools
  • Experience working with Sandia National Laboratories, Kirtland AFB, or other Albuquerque-area defense research and testing institutions
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification in a relevant discipline
  • Graduate-level degree in Geological Engineering, Rock Mechanics, or Geomechanics
