ENGINEER - RESEARCH ENGINEER - Chemical Engineering

Who We Are: We are a growing mutli-disciplinary team of motivated engineers and scientists dedicated to solving our clients' technical challenges. Objectives of this Role: Test and optimize novel chemical development processes supporting mission-critical programs while protecting sensitive technical information. Execute pilot-scale development activities, translating scientific concepts into safe, repeatable, and efficient processes. Modify processes to control outputs and meet performance, quality and performance specifications. Apply sound engineering judgment to solve complex technical challenges and evaluate alternatives. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to advance projects from early research through multiple levels of technology readiness.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities: Plan and perform laboratory experiments, process trials, and proof-of-concept activities. Operate and troubleshoot pilot to full-scale equipment; collect, analyze, and interpret data to evaluate process and material performance. Support process design, scale-up, testing, and development of practical operating procedures. Prepare technical reports, presentations, laboratory records, risk assessments, and other documentation needed for program reviews and decision-making. Coordinate with various project teams to resolve issues, communicate progress, and meet technical and schedule objectives.

Requirements: Requires a Bachelors, Masters or a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Process Engineering or related engineering degree field. 0-5 years: Relevant industrial, laboratory, or process-development experience preferred. Hands-on experience with laboratory chemistry, chemical processing, materials characterization, process development, scale-up, or experimental testing in an academic, industrial, or government environment. Interest and experience in energetic, pyrophoric, hypergolic, deep etutectic, and/or nuclear chemical processes a plus. Strong technical writing, problem-solving, teamwork, and organization skills. A valid/clear driver's license is required.
