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. 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
