Systems Engineer - Maintainability Diagnostics Team - (Level 2)

Lockheed Martin•Marietta, GA

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

The Diagnostics and Health Management (DHM) group within the AMMM Maintainability department develops fault‑isolation procedures, diagnostic algorithms, and health‑monitoring solutions for C‑130, L‑100, LM‑100, C‑5, and P‑3 aircraft. Reporting to the Technical Lead, the Level 2 Systems Engineer will design, implement, and validate vehicle‑level diagnostic technologies. They will author and maintain fault‑isolation procedures and associated technical documentation for aircraft systems. Additionally, they will analyze maintenance and performance data to identify trends, recommend corrective actions, and drive continuous improvement of health‑monitoring tools. The role involves collaborating with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to translate requirements into DHM solutions. The position requires the ability to work overtime as required to meet scheduled deliveries with minimal direction. The selected candidate will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Requirements

Familiarity and working knowledge of aircraft maintenance concepts and practices covering multiple systems.
Understanding of diagnostic and/or prognostic concepts.
Experience in aircraft maintenance and a working knowledge/understanding of vehicle‑level diagnostics, fault‑isolation logic, or health monitoring implementations.
Knowledge of aircraft technical manuals; understanding how those manuals relate to the maintenance philosophy.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Applied Science, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or another STEM related field (or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience).
Must be self‑motivated, detail oriented, and be able to excel in a team environment.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
Must be a US Citizen for consideration due to security clearance requirements.

Nice To Haves

FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certificate (or equivalent).
Direct experience developing fault‑isolation procedures for aircraft systems.
Hands‑on work with diagnostics and health‑monitoring tools or platforms.
Experience analyzing large maintenance/performance data sets to drive engineering decisions.
Proven technical‑writing background (producing manuals, SOPs, engineering reports).
Knowledge of systems‑engineering processes, including integration, verification, and testing of diagnostic hardware/software.
Proficient with Microsoft Office suite and Windows Operating System.
Ability to use data‑analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Python, MATLAB, or similar) is a plus.

Responsibilities

Research, author, and edit fault‑isolation procedures and diagnostic documentation.
Develop, test, and refine diagnostic algorithms (fault detection, health indices, trend monitoring).
Perform data‑driven analysis of aircraft performance, maintenance, and failure data to propose improvements to diagnostic logic and health‑monitoring strategies.
Collect product specifications, verify configuration baselines, and validate support requirements for diagnostic systems.
Produce clear, process‑oriented technical documentation (manuals, SOPs, engineering reports) for internal and external customers.
Support the creation of inputs for Statements of Work (SOWs), proposals, and quotes related to DHM capabilities.
Travel occasionally to supplier and customer facilities (domestic & international) as needed.
Work overtime as required to meet scheduled deliveries.
Accomplish assigned tasks with minimal direction.
