Flight Sciences Systems Engineer
About The Position
Lockheed Martin Space designs and operates spacecraft, launch-vehicle avionics, and scientific payloads that must execute precise trajectories, maintain stable attitudes, and perform autonomous maneuvers in the space environment. The Flight-Sciences Systems Engineer is the technical bridge between flight-dynamics theory and the hardware/software that implements it. You will develop the models, algorithms, and analysis tools that predict vehicle behavior, generate guidance commands, and certify flight-software performance for a variety of missions (e.g., orbit insertion, lunar descent, formation-flying constellations, re-entry). We are hiring levels 2-5. This requisition is used to find talent for our hiring needs across multiple programs. We will be reviewing those that apply to see if they may meet the needs of the business. If so, we will be reaching out to screen.
