Job description

The future of aerospace and defense starts here.
Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands.
This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated Senior System Safety Engineer to join Ursa Major, a leading aerospace company focused on cutting-edge propulsion systems. As a Senior System Safety Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring that our rocket engines and propulsion systems meet stringent safety and reliability standards.
Your responsibilities will include:
  • Analyzing engineering hardware, mechanical and electrical schematics for fault tolerance, latent hazards, and compliance with safety requirements.
  • 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 Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Training program
  • Coordinating explosives training program in accordance with Federal, State, Local and Ursa Major specific requirements

Additional Key Responsibilities:
  • Conduct System Safety Program or Design safety assessments.
  • Lead safety initiatives for large-scale propulsion system safety programs or multiple mid-sized safety projects.
  • Monitor the technical execution of safety requirements throughout the program.
  • Act as a key interface with stakeholders including customers, regulatory authorities, subcontractors, and vendors.
  • Prepare and present Safety Assessment Reports and Program Safety Briefs for both internal and external review.
  • Lead safety discussions in technical reviews, ensuring alignment with the approval process.
  • Participate and contribute to Safety Review Board
  • Interpret and implement system requirements based on customer specifications and aerospace industry safety standards.
  • Generate reports that document various safety analyses and system safety program findings.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure a comprehensive understanding of product architecture, system integration, and design.
  • Maintain ATF and CDLE company, individual and magazine permits and licenses

Qualifications You Must Have:
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) with a minimum of 8 years of relevant Systems Engineering or Safety Engineering experience. A Master's or advanced degree may reduce the years of required experience.
  • Experience: Prior experience in System Safety Engineering, Systems Engineering, Explosive Safety, Software/Firmware Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or other Safety Engineering disciplines.
  • 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.
  • 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).

Colorado law requires us to tell you the base compensation range of this role, which is $115,000 - $143,000, determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities. What we can't quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy.
Classification: Full-time Exempt
Benefits Include: (Please note, Interns are not eligible for benefits)
  • Unlimited PTO - Vacation, Sick, Personal, and Bereavement
  • Paid Parental and Adoptive Leave
  • Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance
  • Tax Advantage Accounts (HSA/FSA)
