Job Description

Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more — we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.

At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We’re creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We’re erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We’re advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we’re reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.

Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that’s built for you.

We are currently seeking an experienced mechanical engineer to design and build mechanisms for spacecraft / Missile at Lockheed Martin. These critical components include anything that moves on the satellite, including hinges, gimbals, motors, gears, dampers, rotary joints, linear actuators, and deployables. Join the Lockheed Martin team and be a part of the company that has developed and flown the most innovative mechanism designs in the industry, including the largest mechanism ever deployed in space, the International Space Station Solar Array. The mechanisms design team supports all lines of business at Lockheed Martin which means you could be designing mechanisms for the next mission to Mars or for the next generation of GPS satellites or for systems that protect and defend our nation.

In This Role, You Will

• Establish the design of mechanisms, including requirements allocation, trade studies, solid modeling, materials evaluations, and analyses.
• Participate in issue resolution and develop solutions to technical problems of varying complexity while assuring sound technical content and timely closure.
• Develop, review, and maintain engineering documents, specifications, and technical analyses necessary to support product build and testing activities.
• Generate and release drawings using CAD software.
• Be a member of multiple integrated product teams, reciprocally interacting with other engineers, manufacturing personnel, suppliers, and customers.
• Represent the organization in design reviews, readiness reviews, and review boards.
• Collaborate with manufacturing personnel to supervise the build and test of the hardware in the production facility located next door to the engineering building.
• May become the Certified Principal Engineer (CPE) for the mechanism. The CPE is the technical advocate responsible for all aspects of the mechanism from program inception to launch and on-orbit operations. To promote the sharing of ideas, we at Lockheed Martin champion a work environment that supports differences and big-picture thinking.

Desired Skills

• Master of Science in an Engineering Discipline related to the basic qualifications
• Experience as a Certified Principal Engineer (CPE) or CPE delegate or equivalent
• Experience providing technical oversight of a subcontracted development effort
• Experience operating as a part of integrated product teams
• Experience with motors, bearings, gears, resolvers, and potentiometers
• Experience with rapid prototyping and concept development to be first to market
• Experience with MDA customers and consultants
• Functions well in a creative, high-tempo, collaborative, cross-functional, dynamic and multi-disciplinary environment
• Familiarity with LM Space processes, procedures, and tools (including EPDM/Windchill)
• Experience developing structures and mechanisms for missiles
• Excellent communication skills
• Experience with model-based definition (Data Set Rating 6)
• Highly proficient with Creo Parametric
• Experience supporting production of missile or spacecraft hardware
• Familiar with releasing drawings in EPDM 9.1
• Experience working with and overseeing manufacturing and/or outside suppliers
• MRB trained and certified
• Active secret security clearance
