Project/Program Overview GDMS is building a Fuze product line within its Weapons & Networked Solutions (WNS) business unit to support next-generation programs including the Terrain Shaping Obstacle (TSO), autonomous ground munitions, and precision guided weapon fuzing. The organization seeks a Principal Systems Engineer with deep, hands-on expertise in Electronic Safe Arm Fuze and Device (ESAD/ESAF) design, verification, and manufacturing to anchor this team and mentor the next generation of fuze engineers.

The ideal candidate has a proven track record developing fielded fuze systems through the full lifecycle from concept through safety certification with direct experience navigating fuze safety boards like Weapons System Explosives Safety Review Board (WSESRB), Non-Nuclear Munitions Safety Board (NNMSB), and the Army Fuze Safety Review Board (AFSRB). Established relationships within the fuze engineering community across Army, Navy, Air Force, and DoD laboratories are a significant differentiator.

Basic Qualifications Education Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering or Mathematics field, plus a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree, plus a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.

Clearance Requirements Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at time of hire. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.

Job Description Required Skills and Expertise:

• ESAD/ESAF Architecture & Design (Expert): Led design of fielded ESAD/ESAF; can independently architect ESD, S&A, and firing chain; Experience designing systems compliant to MIL-STD-1316 or MIL-STD-1911
• Environmental Sensing design (Expert): Designed sensing systems that sense environment conditions such as release, setback, spin, and all-up-round environments
• Environmental testing of fuze systems (Expert): Designed qualification tests for fuzing systems iaw JOTP, MIL-STD-331, and MIL-STD-810; performed environmental qualification; performed failure and root cause analysis on failures
• Safe and Arm (S&A) mechanism design (Expert): Designed electrical or electromechanical S&A devices
• High reliability electronics (Advanced): Experience designing high reliability electronics systems for safety critical or mission critical systems
• Firing chain design (CDU / EFI) (Advanced): Designed capacitor discharge units; selected/qualified EFI. Experience performing or overseeing HERO margin analysis
• Self-destruct / self-neutralize design (Advanced): Designed self-destruct/neutralization mechanisms to reduce UxO
• Fuze system-level requirements decomposition (Advanced): Traces system requirements to ESD, S&A, firing circuit, and software; manages RVTM
• Target detection & classification (Intermediate): Working knowledge of magnetic influence, seismic, acoustic, or pressure-based target sensing systems
• Built-in test (BIT) design for fuze systems (Advanced): Designed continuous and power-on BIT for S&A, battery, and sensor health; fault lockout logic; experience with BIT coverage analysis

Highly Desired Differentiators

• AFSRB board presenter: Has personally presented to the AFSRB extremely rare; commands immediate credibility within the Air Force fuze community
• Multi-service fuze programs: Delivered fuzes for two or more military services (Army + Navy, or AF + Army), demonstrating breadth across service-specific requirements
• Proximity fuze / active sensing: Designed active proximity fuze systems (RF, laser, acoustic) in addition to passive influence fuzing
• Autonomous system integration (UAS/UGV payloads): Integrated fuze with autonomous delivery platforms
• MOSA / open architecture fuzing: Designed fuzes to modular open systems architecture (MOSA) principles; plug-and-play payload integration
• Digital twin / simulation: Built quantitative physics-based fuze simulations for firing chain timing, magnetic signature modeling, or safety FTA
• Picatinny / NSWC / AFRL lab background: Government lab background in fuze engineering brings inside understanding of Government test and qualification processes
• University relationships: Maintains academic connections (Colorado School of Mines, Penn State ICT, Auburn, Purdue, Texas A&M ballistic programs) for talent pipeline support

Our Commitment To You

• An exciting career path with opportunities for continuous learning and development.
• Research oriented work, alongside award winning teams developing practical solutions for our nation s security
• Flexible schedules with every other Friday off work, if desired (9/80 schedule)
