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. OVERVIEW: For over 60 years, the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) team has supported the Navy’s mission to provide affordable and credible strategic defense. We offer unique career opportunities and challenges on a program with a rich history and exciting future. We help keep this nation and our allies secure. The FBM Program is experiencing significant growth and we need your expertise to deliver amazing new technologies to our customers while maintaining the technical requirements of the strategic deterrence. Be a part of state-of-the-art analysis for & missile systems at Lockheed Martin. Work on significant analyses involving structures, materials and strategic missile defense and flight systems. Lockheed Martin Space is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join the Flight Sciences Group supporting the FBM D5LE2 Loads & Dynamics effort in Sunnyvale, CA! What does this role look like? Collaborate with cross-functional teams to perform detailed structural sizing, supporting design studies to optimize structures and meet program requirements. Conduct linear and non-linear static, dynamics and fatigue analyses using Siemens NX (equivalent FEMAP) and hand calculations through Roark, Niu, Bruhn, etc. Develop and validate high fidelity FEM models (meshing strategy, material definition, boundary conditions). Perform load case generation and factor of safety assessment for critical structures. Generating stress analysis technical memorandums and reports to support data packages, peer reviews, and external customer reviews. Support development of weight-optimized, compliant flightworthy components and structural assemblies which satisfy the contractual design criteria as well as any producibility requirements defined by Manufacturing and Quality Engineering. Produce clear, concise analysis reports, design briefs, and risk mitigation packages. Important Details The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at our Englewood, CO campus.
