About The Position

We are seeking a Test Engineer to plan, prepare, and execute mechanical, functional, and environmental testing of development and flight aerospace mechanisms and other mechanical products at the Materials Technology & Mechanisms Test Lab at Lockheed Martin Space. In this position, you will coordinate and interface directly with program engineering, production colleagues, technicians, quality, planners, and others to support various stages of the product life cycle for aerospace mechanisms and other mechanical components and subsystems. A successful candidate is a self-starter with strong knowledge in mechanical engineering as it applies to unique test set-ups that involve load / deflection, functional / performance, thermal, and / or thermal-vacuum environments. A successful candidate has demonstrated the ability to learn and apply solutions to difficult engineering and operational challenges, via action both independently and in a team environment. This is a hands-on position operating in a laboratory environment developing and executing test solutions that support development, qualification, acceptance, or investigation of products used in human / robotic space exploration, navigation, communications, and national security.

Requirements

Strong knowledge of three or more of the following: degrees of freedom, stress analysis, heat and mass transfer, statics, dynamics, friction, automation, parts fabrication, system set-up.
Strong technical writing, communication, project and time management skills.
Demonstrated ability to design (CREO preferred) and analyze standard and creative electro-mechanical solutions.
Demonstrating the ability to remain organized in a fast-paced environment, supporting multiple simultaneous objectives.
Demonstrated ability to become a certified test conductor, acting as the person in charge who is accountable to multi-disciplinary teams, successfully applying test knowledge and execution discipline, and validating processes.

Nice To Haves

Prior related practicable field, shop, or factory experience.
Relevant professional experience or Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
Working knowledge of CREO, LabVIEW, environmental testing (load / deflection, thermal and thermal vacuum), MATLAB, etc.
Familiarity and comfort operating and troubleshooting set-ups and equipment such as servo hydraulic / electro-mechanical load frames, instrumentation / data acquisition.
Knowledge in test script development, data processing techniques, and formal writing of procedural instructions and data reports.
Demonstrated experience and commitment to knowledge continuity and continuous process improvement.
