Chemical Engineer
The Opportunity:
Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact on national security? You understand how a sensor performs in the field is just as important as how it performs on the bench, and you know how to keep a fielded detection capability safe, accurate, and mission-ready over its full lifecycle. Your ability to troubleshoot a system, lead a calibration effort, and translate operational feedback into an engineering change makes you the person a program turns to when warfighter safety is on the line.
As the In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) for Energetic Fuel Detection Systems supporting the U.S. Navy, you will own the lifecycle technical sustainment of specialized sensors used to detect, monitor, and analyze energetic fuels, propellants, and volatile explosive compounds across naval and joint platforms. You will use and interpret spectrometry and photoionization techniques to detect airborne volatile compounds, keeping these sensors alive and well within the field through hands-on troubleshooting, calibration, and repair. You will draft and update technical manuals, SOPs, maintenance guidelines, and engineering change proposals, and you will conduct testing, calibration, and validation of detection systems using inert and synthetic energetic simulants, ensuring every fielded system meets Department of War and NAVSEA explosives safety standards. Grow your skills by merging deep sensor and spectral analysis expertise with real-world energetics safety practice to keep a critical detection capability ready for the fleet.
Join us. The world can't wait.
You Have:

• 12+ years of experience in sensor engineering, instrumentation, or detection systems sustainment, including calibration, troubleshooting, and lifecycle support of fielded equipment
• Experience with data acquisition software for sensor calibration and field diagnostics
• Experience drafting or reviewing technical manuals, standard operating procedures, maintenance guidelines, or engineering change proposals (ECPs)
• Experience applying non-destructive testing (NDT) concepts to inspection or validation of sensor or detection hardware
• Knowledge of explosives safety standards, including Department of War (DoW) and NAVSEA explosives safety requirements
• Ability to use and interpret spectrometry and photoionization techniques to detect airborne volatile compounds, and to keep these types of sensors alive and well within the field
• Secret clearance
• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Chemistry

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with Otto Fuel II or other monopropellant or energetic fuel handling, detection, or safety programs
• Experience supporting an In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA), Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), or Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation (PHS&T) effort on a fielded DoD system
• Experience with configuration management practices and baseline control on fielded systems
• Experience working directly with Navy or joint-service technical points of contact on sustainment or safety issues
• Master's degree in a related engineering or physical science field

Clearance:
Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
