About the role
- You will report to the Head of Propulsion.
- This is a hands-on role for someone who has already taken a composite propellant from formulation through motor flight or qualification, and who prefers cheap, well-understood chemistry to high-energy energetics or one-source materials.
Responsibilities
- Own propellant formulation: composition tradeoffs, ingredient selection, and the cost-vs-performance calls that go with both.
- Develop the mix and cure process: vacuum mix profile, ingredient addition order, cure schedule, pot life.
- Source and technically qualify ingredients across the propellant supplier base. The Head of Supply Chain owns commercial terms.
- Design the dual-pulse chemistry: pulse-1 and pulse-2 composition selection, mechanical and thermal compatibility, interpulse barrier interaction.
- Own the chemistry side of facility safety and compliance: storage planning, hazardous-materials handling, ATF and AHJ documentation.
Requirements
- 5+ years hands-on composite-propellant formulation and mix process development.
- A clearance is not required for this position.
- Must be a U.S. Person.
Skills
- B.S. or M.S. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or related.
- Fluency with
Compensation
- America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year.
- Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost-effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles.
- We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.
Company info
- The Propulsion Team designs, builds, and flies the solid rocket motors that power our interceptor.
- We own the chemistry, the motor and grain design, the ground test campaigns, and the range operations.
Visa & Work Authorization
- Must be a U.S. Person
