Position Overview

The Engineering Technician I is a hands-on technical role central to facility activation, equipment commissioning, and the setup and ongoing operation of energetic manufacturing and test operations at Voyager's Pueblo and Penrose facilities. This individual supports the safe handling, testing, and evaluation of energetic materials and propulsion systems — working across a broad range of technical disciplines including instrumentation, controls, mechanical systems, and production operations — under the direction of senior engineering personnel.

The position reports to the Staff Development Engineer and is part of the Infrastructure and Operations Integration team, onsite at Voyager's Penrose and Pueblo, CO facilities. This role is well-suited for technically capable individuals with backgrounds in energetics, aerospace, defense manufacturing, or industrial test environments who bring hands-on discipline, safety-first mindset, and the adaptability to contribute across multiple technical areas as the team scales.

Energetic Materials Handling

• Safely receive, inspect, store, and handle energetic materials — including propellants, pyrotechnics, and similar materials — per applicable DoD/ATF regulations, SOPs, and facility safety requirements.

• Maintain accurate records of energetic material inventories, usage, and disposal; perform pre- and post-test inspections of energetic components and assemblies.

• Operate within approved Explosive Site Plans (ESPs); ensure compliance with ATF, DoD, and OSHA regulations in all handling and storage activities.

Rocket Motor Testing

• Prepare test facilities, test articles, motor assemblies, and instrumentation for test execution under the direction of senior engineering personnel.

• Support static fire and functional test operations for solid and/or liquid rocket motors; collect, record, and perform initial review of test data, flagging anomalies for engineering review.

• Assist with post-test teardown, inspection, and documentation of test hardware.

Facility Activation & Equipment Commissioning

• Support activation of new facilities including utilities, safety systems, and test equipment; assist in commissioning of hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and instrumentation systems.

• Execute equipment startup procedures, functional checkouts, and acceptance tests per engineering-approved procedures; document commissioning deficiencies and coordinate resolution with engineering.

• Perform hands-on mechanical and electrical work including assembly, alignment, connection, and checkout of facility and test equipment.

Instrumentation, Controls & Data Acquisition

• Set up, calibrate, and operate instrumentation and data acquisition systems including sensors, transducers, signal conditioners, and recording equipment.

• Operate and support troubleshooting of PLC-controlled systems, automated test stands, and SCADA-based facility controls under engineering direction.

• Read and interpret engineering drawings, P&IDs, wiring schematics, and technical procedures to support accurate setup and execution.

Production & Manufacturing Operations

• Support manufacturing operations for solid rocket motor assembly, energetic formulation, and related production activities in accordance with approved work instructions and SOPs.

• Maintain production documentation, batch records, and quality assurance paperwork per company and regulatory standards to support traceability and audit readiness.

Safety & Environmental Health

• Maintain a safety-first culture at all times; participate in safety briefings, hazard analyses, and incident reviews; immediately report unsafe conditions, near-misses, or incidents to supervision.

• Support site EHS compliance activities; wear and properly use all required PPE including flame-resistant clothing, r
