About The Position

As part of our ordnance systems team, you will be working alongside some of the industry's top talent on the forefront of energetics technology. We are currently seeking a thoughtful, collaborative Learning Business Partner to support the Training Team's mission of delivering impactful learning solutions aligned to business needs.
