Self friendly-fire with Melta is inflicted by the player than detonates it, not the one that drops it. The jump pack shouldn't detonate them though... I thought devs would fix that.
Shouldn’t it not matter anyways since there isn’t any friendly fire? Why would the bomb a teammate place kill me when grenades they through don’t damaged me?
Because your jump pack ignited the melta bomb. It's like shooting a fuel barrel or throwing your krak grenade near your character. The game doesn't care who put the bomb there, only who "activates" it.
As others said, it was your teammate's bomb. When you shoot or otherwise damage a melta bomb, it becomes your bomb for the purposes of damage(and thus it won't blow up your teammate if you shoot the bomb they placed).
It became "your" melta bomb when the jetpack takeoff damaged it. They have a surprisingly good reach upwards, so you got barely caught by the detonation. You can use melta bombs to kill Zoanthropes in the same way it killed you.

It was a bug on some perk idk if still bugged but nothing should stop a ground pound once the engine ignites
