About The Position

Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is seeking a Level 3 Systems Engineer to serve as the Product Owner for Mission Planning embedded software products. Our team is responsible for the design, development, and manufacture of precision-engagement aerospace and defense systems for the U.S. and allied militaries. In this role, you will bridge the gap between high-level program requirements and technical execution. You will lead the evolution of JASSM Mission Planning software products, overseeing new designs, updates, enhancements, and defect corrections across multiple U.S. and international contracts. This position requires a unique blend of technical systems engineering expertise and Agile leadership to ensure that our software solutions are outcome-driven and aligned with the needs of the warfighter.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in systems engineering, specifically within mission planning or embedded software environments.
Demonstrated experience in the full systems engineering lifecycle, including requirements definition and architectural design.
Proficiency in Cameo or similar MBSE tools for system architecting.
Experience working within a SAFe or Agile framework, with a proven ability to lead teams toward outcome-based delivery.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Secret security clearance.
Must be a US Citizen for consideration.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with C programming languages.
Scripting proficiency for the creation of automated tests and data analysis.
Previous experience with JASSM or similar precision-engagement weapon systems.

Responsibilities

Product Ownership & Agile Leadership: Collaborate closely with the Program Management Office (PMO), Solution Train, and peer Release Train Engineers (RTEs) to coordinate product and solution delivery.
Serve as a change agent for Agile transformation, coaching teams to achieve decentralized decision-making, improved alignment, and streamlined coordination.
Lead and support large solution-level events, including Program Increment (PI) Planning, ensuring the program remains outcome-driven.
Monitor the health of the solution through data-driven metrics and establish continuous process improvement cadences that deliver tangible value.
Identify and resolve systemic bottlenecks across the solution train to maintain delivery velocity and product quality.
Systems Engineering & Technical Execution: Own the end-to-end design and development process. This includes identifying stakeholder needs, developing high- and low-level system architectures using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) via Cameo, and defining formal requirements (SRS, DRS).
Ensure Mission Planning software products are seamlessly integrated with external systems—including Missile Performance Models and the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS)—within the defined Mission Planning Environment.
Guarantee that all software requirements are fully verified by creating and executing comprehensive test plans, test cases, and acceptance test procedures utilizing simulation tools and specialized test data sets.
Lead technical meetings with end-users to gather requirements and feedback, ensuring that user needs are directly incorporated into system-level designs.
Contract & Customer Management: Manage interactions with U.S. and international customers and subcontractors to ensure technical alignment and satisfaction.
Prepare and deliver on-site training and technical support for international customers.
