Job Description

You will be the Lead Mechanical Design Engineer for the Common Flight Test Equipment (C FTE) team supporting the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).

Your team designs, prototypes, and validates the Telemetry and Flight Termination Systems that equip every PrSM increment, ensuring reliable data down link and safe missile termination from concept through flight testing.

What You Will Be Doing

• Own the mechanical structural interface of these critical subsystems.
• Coordinate Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, work hand in hand with the Packaging team on harness routing, and serve as the primary technical liaison for internal and external customers.
• Guide multiple missile configuration variants from CAD review through prototype build, Design Verification Testing (DVT), and Qualification testing.

Responsibilities

• Keep the Integrated Master Schedule on track and report progress weekly.
• Review and refine PTC Creo CAD models and assemblies for fit, form, and function.
• Validate dimension tolerance schemes and perform tolerance analyses to guarantee producible solutions.
• Develop packaging concepts for both Telemetry and Flight Termination Systems across all missile configurations.
• Document design and packaging evolution in digital design notebooks.
• Capture and share lessons learned between PrSM increments.
• Visit supplier sites when needed to troubleshoot production issues and align designs.
• Partner with Lockheed Martin Production Operations on “make” part requirements.
• Maintain a concise weekly status report for the team and leadership.
• Absess discrepant parts, create rework or repair plans, and determine their reuse potential.

Why Join Us

We provide the resources and give you the flexibility to enable inspiration and focus.

If you have the passion and courage to dream big, work hard, and have fun doing what you love then we want to build a better tomorrow with you.

You thrive in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment where collaboration drives innovation.

If you’re a proactive problem solver with a strong grasp of mechanical design, tolerance analysis, and systems integration, you’ll excel leading a talented team that delivers mission-critical hardware for cutting-edge strike weapons.

Lockheed Martin offers you exposure to high-impact missile programs, opportunities to influence design across multiple product increments, and the resources to turn concepts into flight-tested reality.
