About The Position

Propulsion and aerodynamics move the vehicle. This role determines whether the mission succeeds. The Warhead & Energetics Lead owns the terminal effects system from concept through validated performance. You are responsible for designing, testing, iterating, and industrializing the warhead capability that makes the overall system effective. This is not a modeling -only position. This is not a compliance -only position. This is full lifecycle ownership — from physics to explosive design to range validation to safe manufacturing — building the capability from the ground up inside a 20 -person, high -velocity startup. Build a disciplined, repeatable energetic development capability that delivers reliable mission effects — safely, compliantly, and at speed. Missile systems are only as effective as their terminal effects. This position ensures that when the vehicle reaches its target, the mission outcome is reliable, repeatable, and engineered — not assumed. You are building more than a component. You are building capability.
