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.

Defending against modern day missile threats

requires constant collaboration and innovation.

That’s why we’re able to integrate systems

from end to end so you can detect, control,

and engage the full spectrum of missile threats

across every domain. It’s why we’re investing

in disruptive technology like directed energy,

space-based capabilities, and solid state-radar.

To create layers of defense that help keep us

all safe.

Shooting a missile down with a missile was

once a concept only dreamed up in science

fiction novels. We’ve made it scientific fact! So,

what does it take to spot an enemy missile

launch, identify its intended target, calculate its

exact trajectory, launch an interceptor, and

guide it to destroy the threat in mid-air? All in

a matter of seconds? It’s not easy – but at

Lockheed Martin, we help customers solve the

world’s most complex challenges. Our culture

supports employees to dream big, perform

with excellence and create incredible products.

We provide the resources, inspiration and focus

and if you have the passion and courage, we

want to build a better tomorrow with you.

As a Mechanical Engineer you will be key in

supporting preliminary and detailed design and

analysis of missile structures and thermal

protection systems. You may also be

supporting: - Design of missile mechanical

subsystem(s) such as deployment mechanisms,

separation mechanisms, actuators, sensor

cover mechanisms, and other mechanisms

Interface with the customer to obtain end

user input and build a partnership.

Design hardware, mechanical/structural

components, and subsystems aligned with

customer requirements and LM Space standard

methodologies (CIPS) in activities related to

developing, revising, and releasing engineering

drawings

Use Creo Parametric develop and release

engineering designs using EPDM

Coordinate engineering design packages with

a multidisciplinary team that includes: PMP,

Flight Sciences, Systems Engineering,

Checking, Manufacturing, Product Assurance,

and Configuration and Data Management

Implement strict CAD modeling standards;

utilize "model-check" tools and resolve design

issues to meet modeling standards

Work with, refine, and integrate component

and subsystem designs into a system level

design
