Jobs at Ohr

Own energetics chemistry development from reaction design through pilot-scale production. Lead TATB route selection, continuous-flow conversion, kinetics, thermal and structural characterization, crystallization, milling, and polymer-bonded explosive formulation. Direct partner laboratory work, develop process documentation, support HAZOP and safety reviews, and guide scale-up from bench batches to pilot production. The role requires deep insensitive high-explosive chemistry expertise, high-hazard process judgment, export-control compliance, and hands-on laboratory work.

Designs, scales, qualifies, and optimizes manufacturing processes for energetic materials and precursors. Leads process safety, hazard analyses, explosive safety assessments, regulatory compliance, equipment commissioning, process documentation, formulation scale-up, incident investigations, and corrective actions. Requires extensive hands-on energetics manufacturing experience, strong hazardous-process safety expertise, and the ability to transition formulations from R&D into qualified production.

Own end-to-end process engineering for pilot facilities, including material and energy balances, equipment sizing, specifications, PFDs, P&IDs, and EPC engineering packages. Lead contractors, vendors, HAZOPs, risk mitigation, scale-up from R&D chemistry, commissioning, permitting, construction, and startup. Establish engineering standards and review processes while hiring and mentoring a process engineering team. The role is hybrid in Lafayette, Colorado, with travel up to 30%.

Develops early process designs for energetics and propellant chemistry, translating laboratory results into mass and energy balances, process flows, equipment concepts, hazard data, and technoeconomic inputs. Coordinates external laboratories, designs kilo-lab scale-up campaigns, defines analytical requirements, documents design bases and risks, and supports handoff to production process engineering. The onsite role is based in Lafayette, Colorado, includes up to 15% travel, and offers relocation assistance.

Design and scale chemical processes from R&D through commercial deployment. Develop heat and material balances, equipment specifications, PFDs, P&IDs, engineering packages, and project plans. Serve as Responsible Engineer across concurrent projects, collaborate with R&D, vendors, EPC contractors, and consultants, and support HAZOPs, permitting, commissioning, and operations. Apply process simulation, identify scale-up risks, validate engineering work, and improve design tools and standards.

Early-career internships, fellowships, and select full-time roles across business, PR and communications, engineering, and AI/software. Applicants choose a track and complete a challenge demonstrating how they think. Ohr seeks students and recent graduates interested in hard problems, innovation, chemistry, critical industries, and defense supply chains. Roles may be onsite or remote depending on the position, with selected candidates completing virtual and onsite final rounds.

Lead corporate development activities across strategic acquisitions, including target sourcing, valuation, financial modeling, due diligence, deal structuring, negotiation support, and integration planning. Coordinate finance, legal, technical, and operational stakeholders; track acquisition value creation; and build repeatable M&A processes. The role supports Ohr’s industrial and defense-focused growth strategy and requires significant travel.

Develop commercialization strategies for advanced chemistry and acquired manufacturing capabilities. Lead government, defense, grant, and commercial partnership proposals; analyze markets and customer opportunities; coordinate cross-functional integration initiatives; and build operating mechanisms that accelerate strategic execution. The role works across technical, manufacturing, commercial, financial, and operational teams to advance market entry, production, and revenue.

Supports corporate development and M&A by researching industrial markets, identifying acquisition targets, building valuations and financial models, coordinating cross-functional due diligence, managing data rooms and transaction milestones, and preparing recommendations for leadership. The role helps develop repeatable investment-analysis tools and evaluates strategic opportunities across chemicals, manufacturing, energy, defense, and deep-tech markets.

Own end-to-end people operations for a growing company, including onboarding, offboarding, HRIS administration, payroll, benefits, employee support, and multi-state compliance. Partner with managers and employees on performance, employee relations, and policy interpretation. Help establish a new Colorado headquarters, onboard approximately 50 local hires, administer the PEO relationship, and build scalable people processes. This is a six-month temporary role intended to convert to a permanent hybrid position.

Manage full-cycle recruiting for scientific, engineering, and operational roles while building Ohr’s talent acquisition infrastructure. Responsibilities include sourcing, interview coordination, offer management, agency oversight, ATS and reporting implementation, recruitment events, university partnerships, and employer branding. The role is a six-month temporary engagement intended to convert to a permanent hybrid position in the Greater Denver-Boulder area.
