This position provides opportunities for promotions after gaining certain experience and a proven record of accomplishment. Main tasks Support process optimization and redesign projects according to established project management and standardization methodologies (e.g.
You will have two direct reports (chemists/technologists) and report to the Chief Production Officer (CPO) based in Vojens, Denmark. Your main responsibilities will include: Own the chemistry of our solid propellants – develop, document, and validate all fuel formulations and recipe control standardsDefine and maintain critical process parameters (temperature, mixing time, vacuum, catalysts, etc.) and ensure robust process windows from lab scale to full-scale productionLead and manage the analytical laboratory: raw material testing, in-process testing, test methodologies, calibration, documentation, and data traceabilityDrive recipe change control – plan and execute pilot batches, validation, and transfer to production, including updates of SOPs and work instructionsConduct root-cause analysis in collaboration with Process Engineering and Maintenance to address recurring defects, quality deviations and process instabilityEnsure full batch traceability and strong HSE practices for hazardous materials (classification, storage, transport, and safe handling)Collaborate closely with Quality Control to define sampling plans, acceptance criteria and CAPA activities (Corrective and Preventive Actions)Contribute to supplier qualification and material approval, including definition and verification of technical specificationsContinuously improve yield, scrap rate and recipe cost through optimization of formulations and process parametersMaintain and prepare documentation for ISO, AQAP and defense-quality audits related to chemical operationsLead, coach, and develop your team of chemists and technologists and help build a strong safety- and quality-driven culture on site We are looking for an experienced and hands-on chemical leader who thrives in a high-tech, safety-critical production environment and enjoys building something new.
As production scales, FPRT will transition to 24/7 operations, and the role is expected to move into a three-shift rotation. Your main responsibilities will include: Non-Destructive Testing (CT / X-ray) • Perform industrial CT (computed tomography) and industrial X-ray inspections of solid propellant grains and motor assemblies. • Detect and evaluate internal defects (e.g., voids, cracks, inclusions, density inconsistencies, delamination) and geometry deviations that may impact burn behavior. • Plan and execute inspections in a production environment: align on sampling logistics, manage inspection queues/priorities, and ensure smooth handover across shifts as the function scales.
