Additional Information

The future of aerospace and defense starts here. Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands. As Ursa Major expands into the realm of solid propulsion, we're assembling the most innovative and nimble team to unseat the reigning players. We're applying the latest technologies to an outdated business model that improves cost, lead time, and flexibility without impacting reliability. We must continue to build in-house capabilities in energetics, ballistics, and composites with an emphasis on novel designs focused on manufacturability and high-rate scalability. Success in this role requires a safety-first approach, a willingness and desire to learn and an attention to detail mindset. As a part of the development technician team, you will be a key component of the energetics manufacturing process. You will be responsible for the production and transportation/storage of energetic materials.
