Voyager Technologies is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Solid Propulsion and Energetics engineering team supporting our Colorado operations. This role requires deep technical expertise in solid rocket motors and/or energetic materials, combined with demonstrated leadership and team development experience. The Engineering Manager will provide strategic and hands‑on technical direction across propulsion design, propellant processing, manufacturing support, and test activities, while mentoring engineers and fostering a culture of safety, accountability, and technical excellence in a defense‑focused environment.

This position will directly support our Colorado operations focused in R&D and new product development projects.

• Lead and mentor multi-disciplinary engineering teams responsible for solid rocket motor design, propellant formulation, component fabrication, and qualification testing.
• Provide technical leadership and execution oversight across the solid propulsion system lifecycle, from concept through production and qualification.
• Drive engineering strategy, planning, and resource allocation to meet performance, cost, schedule, and quality objectives in support of defense programs.
• Oversee development, review, and approval of engineering deliverables including requirements, analysis, models, test plans, design documentation, and risk assessments.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (manufacturing, quality, safety, supply chain, operations) to ensure design producibility, test readiness, and successful delivery.
• Implement and maintain engineering processes, best practices, and continuous improvement initiatives that promote technical excellence and compliance with internal and government standards.
• Lead troubleshooting, fault investigation, corrective action implementation, and design optimization for propulsion systems and energetics issues.
• Represent the engineering organization internally and externally, advocating technical positions and contributing to program status reviews.
• Support talent development through coaching, performance feedback, and identification of professional growth opportunities for engineering staff.
• Ensure compliance with safety, export control, and regulatory requirements associated with energetic materials and propulsion system development.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Aerospace, Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, or related discipline).
• Minimum of 5 years of progressive engineering experience, including solid rocket propulsion systems, propellant formulation, energetic materials, or related aerospace domains.
• Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams, managing technical execution, and delivering complex engineering projects on schedule and within budget.
• Strong technical foundation in solid rocket motor system design, analysis, testing, and propulsion integration.
• Experience with mechanical design practices, structural/thermal analysis, and propulsion performance evaluation.
• Background in propellant chemistry, mixing, cure…
