Senior Technician; Leander, TX

The Mandate

Your job is to make the impossible physical. You are the bridge between a CAD drawing and solid rocket motor test. You own your work, the propellant manufacturing, and every tolerance in between. If a part fails, you fix the process. If a tool doesn't exist, you build it. If the mission is at a standstill because of a mechanical bottleneck, it's your problem to solve.

This is not a "9-to-5" gig. This is high-stakes fabrication at the edge of the envelope.

• The Hardware:
  High volume mechanical assembly.
• The Power:
  Handling chemicals and manufacturing solid motor propellant with zero-defect execution.
• The Process:
  Developing, documenting, and refining shop workflows where none exist.
• The Shop:
  Organization, safety, maintenance, and being the ultimate "go-to" for anything that requires a wrench, a flame, or a formula.
• The Result:
  Moving from raw materials to a finished, flight-ready system.

• Get it done. You don't wait to be told what to do, you see the gap and fill it.
• Be a fixer. Solve hard problems when they come up and never give up.
• Handle the heat. Mix, cast, and cure propellant with meticulous safety and absolute precision.
• Troubleshoot on the fly. When a test stand leaks or a fitment is off, you solve it in minutes, not days.
• Document the chaos. Turn tribal knowledge into repeatable processes so the company can scale.
• Collaborate and iterate. Work side‑by‑side with engineers to tell them why their design won't work—and then show them how it will.
• Stay until it's finished. If the test is tomorrow, the hardware is ready tonight. Period.

• A High‑Stakes Operator. You have experience with chemical handling or hazardous materials.
• A Startup Soul. You thrive in the ambiguity of an early‑stage company. You don't need a handbook; you write it.
• Meticulous. You have a "measure twice, cut once" DNA. Your attention to detail is borders on the obsessive.
• Safe but Fast. You respect the hardware and the hazards, but you never let bureaucracy kill momentum.
• Local and Present. You are onsite in Leander, TX, every day. This is where the work happens.

• Zero Downtime:
  The shop is a weapon, always cleaned, prepped, and ready for the next build.
• Flawless Propellant:
  Consistent, high-performance motor batches with 100% reliability.
• Rapid Prototyping:
  Turning engineering concepts into physical hardware in record time.
• Trust:
  The founders and engineers know that if a task is handed to you, it is as good as done.

Because the tech is hard. Because the hardware is dangerous. And because at a startup, there is no "someone else" to do the work. The engineers design the future, but you are the one who actually builds it.
