  • Maintaining and evolving Ursa Explosive Safety Management Program (ESMP)
  • Reviewing system test procedures, operational protocols, and maintenance procedures to ensure the implementation of appropriate safety controls.
  • Collaborating across all engineering teams to mitigate hazards and ensure safety measures are embedded throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Coordinating with program management and external regulatory bodies from program initiation through production, operations, and decommissioning.
  • Oversee Ursa Major Radiation Protection Program using ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)
  • Coordinating obtaining explosives shipping approval through the DoD (IHC/FHC) and DOT (EX authorization)

  • Clearance: Ability to obtain and maintain U.S. government-issued security clearance.
  • This is an on-site position splitting time between our facilities in Berthoud, Colorado and Galeton, Colorado.
  • This role will occasionally require supporting an overnight shift (about once per quarter, on average).

Qualifications We Prefer:
  • Experience in propulsion systems, aerospace systems, or other high-performance engineering systems.
  • Knowledge of aerospace safety programs and experience with standards from organizations such as NASA, FAA, or DoD.
  • Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills with a proven ability to communicate technical information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • 40 hour Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) Training
  • Demonstrated leadership in managing safety programs and directing teams of safety professionals.
  • Experience with project management tools like Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) and familiarity with proposal development processes.
  • Master's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).
