Teams 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%.
