Voyager Technologies is seeking a Process Engineer to support the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes for solid rocket motors and energetic materials. Based in Pueblo, CO, this role reports to the Manufacturing Engineering Manager and works across the full process lifecycle from early development through scale-up and production.
Key responsibilities include:
- Contributing across all phases of the process lifecycle—from early development and feasibility through scale-up, process qualification, and production readiness—in close collaboration with cross-functional teams in Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Safety, and Compliance.
- Designing, developing, and implementing manufacturing processes, procedures, tooling, and systems for solid rocket motors and energetic materials, ensuring adherence to safety, quality, performance, and reliability standards.
- Supporting the transition of energetic manufacturing processes from development and pilot scale to full production, contributing to process controls, qualification criteria, and production readiness documentation.
- Driving continuous improvement initiatives using structured problem-solving approaches to reduce waste, variability, and cycle time; collecting and reporting key process performance metrics such as yield, defect rates, and cycle time.
- Creating, reviewing, and maintaining Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, process specifications, and technical documentation to production standards.
- Preparing technical reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders to support planning, budgeting, process reviews, and program milestones.
- Collaborating with senior engineers and technicians to build technical knowledge in process engineering fundamentals, safe handling of energetic materials, and manufacturing best practices.
Required qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, Materials Science, or related engineering discipline with 3 years of process or manufacturing engineering experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience). You should have hands-on experience in process development and scale-up activities, working knowledge of continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent), excellent communication skills, and experience with root cause analysis and corrective action methodologies. The ability to collect, analyze, and interpret process data to drive engineering decisions is essential.
