Hurricane Mesa Test Facility (HMTF) is a unique R&D test site that validates ejection seat systems and subsystems using a supersonic rocket sled track. Testing spans sled‑track events with aircraft representative bodies and anthropometric manikins from zero airspeed/altitude up to and beyond the speed of sound, along with a broad spectrum of subsystem and energetic component tests.

The Test Operations Manager leads the day-to‑day operations of HMTF’s engineering team—driving safety, disciplined execution, quality, and continuous improvement across all test types. This role will develop and own the site’s QC/QA framework, take on defined portions of test‑day operations (e.g., track loading and final readiness), and provide targeted QC oversight for propulsion and other high‑energy systems. The manager serves as acting site manager when delegated or during the Site Manager’s absence, ensuring continuity of operations.

• You will enforce test plans, procedures, and safety protocols; champion a “check‑the‑checklists” culture before, during, and after events.

• You will define and run the site’s quality framework—SOPs, checklists, peer verification, calibration, configuration control, readiness reviews, lessons learned, and continuous improvement loops—tailored to each test type.

• You will provide quality oversight for handling and integration of propulsion and energetic systems in partnership with responsible engineers.

• You will oversee track loading and final readiness steps; act as deputy/alternate during TRRs and test days as directed.

• You will align engineering tasks, materials, and staffing to program schedules; external communication as delegated.

• You will coach, cross‑train, and reinforce safety and quality behaviors across the engineering team.

• You will Identify and implement process and data‑integrity improvements that increase repeatability and reduce risk.

• You will do field‑based work on an expansive test range with desert conditions and variable weather; hands‑on activities around heavy equipment and energetic systems.

• You will perform physically demanding tasks associated with track loading, equipment movement, and outdoor test support.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Experience in a test environment with energetic/propulsive systems; strong analytical skills in physics/dynamics;

• Experience with coordinating technical projects and guide multi‑disciplinary engineering teams;

• Effective with presenting technical information to internal stakeholders (and externally when delegated);
