22h • Onsite

About The Position

You will be the Low Observable Engineer Staff for the Signature Management & Survivability Team which is responsible for advancing low‑observable technology, modeling, simulation, and customer engagement. As the Low Observable Engineer Staff you will be responsible for delivering cutting‑edge signature reduction solutions and guiding program milestones. Your responsibilities will include: Perform, analyze, and communicate vehicle signature predictions using Unix‑based codes and tools. Plan and execute laboratory measurements of material coupons to determine physical, electrical, and environmental properties. Research, design, fabricate, and test advanced electromagnetic metamaterials. Develop and maintain signature prediction tools in Python, C++, C#, Java, and Fortran. Lead R&D plans and collaborate with multidisciplinary design teams to solve aircraft survivability challenges. We are committed to supporting your work‑life balance and overall well-being, offering flexible scheduling options. Learn more about Lockheed Martin’s comprehensive benefits package here. Do you want to be part of a company culture that empowers employees to think big, lead with a growth mindset, and make the impossible a reality?
