Fuze / Fuzes / Fuzing & Ordnance Systems (FOS) proximity fuze detonator igniter experience would be great as an Mechanical or Electrical Engineer
Other higher level jobs are available as well
US Citizens only who like to make weapons, bombs, blow stuff up, several level positions exist
Defense industry experience is required, willing to design stuff that blows up other stuff and people so please be willing to work with designing weapons
We are looking for highly talented, motivated, and versatile engineers that can create the next generation fuzing solutions.
We are building a Fuze product line within its Weapons & Networked Solutions (WNS) business unit to support next-generation programs including the Terrain Shaping Obstacle (TSO), autonomous ground munitions, and precision guided weapon fuzing. The organization seeks a Principal Systems Engineer with deep, hands-on expertise in Electronic Safe Arm Fuze and Device (ESAD/ESAF) design, verification, and manufacturing to anchor this team and mentor the next generation of fuze engineers.
The ideal candidate has a proven track record developing fielded fuze systems through the full lifecycle — from concept through safety certification — with direct experience navigating fuze safety boards like Weapons System Explosives Safety Review Board (WSESRB), Non-Nuclear Munitions Safety Board (NNMSB), and the Army Fuze Safety Review Board (AFSRB). Established relationships within the fuze engineering community across Army, Navy, Air Force, and DoD laboratories are a significant differentiator.
Would you please read as much of the info below and please be a good fit, willing to & already having experience with design fuzes to be used in bombs, explosives, ordnances, missiles, weapons
