- The Test Range Coordinator is ’s primary interface to U.S. Government test ranges for live-fire, missile, and target test events conducted aboard our autonomous surface vessels. You will own the end-to-end coordination of each range event — from initial scheduling and safety approvals, through launcher installation and checkout, vessel movement to the range, ordnance onload, and live test execution, to post-event launcher de-installation and demobilization. Acting as the connective tissue between engineering and operations, the Government customer, payload and effector providers, and the range authorities, you will make sure every stakeholder has the access, documentation, and information needed to execute a safe, on-schedule, and successful test.
- Serve as ’s single point of contact to U.S. Government test ranges — including Cape Canaveral Space Force Station / Space Launch Delta 45 (Eastern Range), the Point Mugu Sea Range (NAWCWD, Naval Base Ventura County), and the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) — as well as other Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) sites as programs require.
- Submit, track, and maintain range-use requests and Universal Documentation System (UDS) products (e.g., Program Introduction, Program Requirements, and Operations Requirements documents), and negotiate and lock test windows on range schedules.

- Develop and shepherd range safety packages, hazard analyses, mission rules, and launch commit criteria through range safety and flight safety boards.
- Coordinate ordnance transportation, explosives safety siting, and Explosives Safety Quantity-Distance (ESQD) requirements in accordance with DoD and range explosives safety standards.
- Coordinate ordnance/effector onload, staging, arming and de-arming, and disposition, including Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and range safety support.
- Support environmental and regulatory compliance, including Notices to Mariners and Airmen (NOTMAR/NOTAM) and marine-mammal and environmental monitoring requirements.
- Build and maintain the integrated schedule for each test event, spanning launcher hardware installation, checkout, vessel movement to the range, ordnance onload, execution, and de-installation.
- Coordinate logistics for vessel transport to and from the range (over-the-road and/or marine transit), launch and recovery, and support and safety craft.
- Lead Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), rehearsals and dry runs, and go/no-go processes, and run day-of coordination among range control, the test team, and payload providers.
- Manage post-test launcher de-installation, demobilization, range clearance, and event close-out, including data hand-off and lessons learned.
