About The Position

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. Electronics design and test lead for a few IGNITE space research circuit card and cable harnesses. Heavily involved in Detailed Design: system block diagrams, schematics (analog, digital, FPGA), PCB/CCA design, circuit analysis, parts procurement, manufacturing, space qual acceptance testing, radiation testing, electro-optical integration, Special Test Equipment (STE) design. Support program lifecycle for optical payload component builds. Heavily involved in Product Development: coordination of multiple engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, FPGA, software), generation of design review material, perform trade studies, report active risks and opportunities, proposals.
