The Lockheed Martin Global Comms and Navigation Mission Segment is designing, developing, and delivering an integrated space/ground Satellite Communications (SATCOM) system. This position will be a key member of the Systems Engineering, Integration and Test (SEIT) team in support of the design, development, production, integration, test, and delivery of this critical capability focused on the requirements development, decomposition, and verification.

In this role, you will be the Mechanical Systems Integration Engineer, your responsibilities will include

• Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints
• Oversee the ongoing interaction and exchange of mechanical information among all subsystems/organizations
• Have responsibility for spacecraft hardware configuration and interfaces across the vehicle, and control the vehicle CAD model
• Work with vehicle design, analysis, and ATLO teams to drive design evolution through the program lifecycle
• Establish and maintain a vehicle design baseline and provide spacecraft-level drawings and layouts
• Lead system-level mechanical integration across multiple sites and multiple subject areas for 1) Detail Trade Studes, 2) Mechanical Interface definition and management, 3) Mechanical Compatibility verification and analysis, 4) Provide oversight and coordination during ATLO assembly and test activities support Requirements and Verification Engineering for the integrated system.

The information below contains the standard job decription for this position:

Performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems. Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications. For positions that perform IT responsibilities, use E646, Systems Engr-IT.
