AT Process Technologies (ATP) is a pioneering manufacturing company focused on the development and deployment of modular energetics production plants. Using breakthrough chemistry and automation that operates continuously and generates little to no waste, ATP is expanding energetics production to meet the munitions demands of the US and Allies safely, rapidly, and cost effectively.
Summary
ATP is building a core team of engineers to work alongside our Process and Chemistry R&D teams to develop an autonomous skidded system for next-generation energetics manufacturing. In this role you will own supplier relations, procurement, and component selection as they pertain to delivering project execution - the vendor-facing engineer who decides, alongside the team, what we buy, from whom, and on what terms to keep critical projects on schedule. You'll also aid in managing the project itself, helping keep scope, timelines, and priorities on track while working shoulder-to-shoulder with our Responsible and Test Engineers. The ideal candidate has previously worked on a team that delivers critical projects end-to-end through design, build, and execution and brings the engineering fundamentals to solve a wide range of problems quickly and rigorously.
