Part-Time Systems Integration and Test Engineer III

Company Mission & Program Overview

At Lockheed Martin Space, we don't just imagine the future—we build it. Our teams tackle some of the world's most complex engineering challenges, delivering solutions that help protect lives and strengthen global security. Every day, our people bring passion, curiosity, and technical excellence to missions that truly matter.

Job Description

One of those missions is missile defense. Through constant innovation and deep collaboration, we design and integrate advanced systems that can detect, track, and intercept missile threats across all domains. What was once science fiction—intercepting a missile with a missile—is now a proven reality.

The Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) program represents the next leap forward in missile defense capability. This program brings together cutting‑edge technology, disciplined engineering, and mission‑driven professionals to deliver solutions that could redefine how the world responds to emerging threats.

This position is ideal for an engineer who thrives in high‑impact environments, enjoys translating requirements into real‑world execution, and is motivated by seeing advanced technology move from concept to operational reality.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

• Execute integration and test activities within an Assembly, Integration, and Test environment to verify system performance and readiness
• Create, develop, and maintain test procedures that support system integration and vehicle delivery
• Support documentation control, configuration tracking, release processes, and government submittals
• Coordinate daily integration and test activities across multiple internal and external disciplines
• Obtain certification and perform duties as a Certified Test Conductor / Test Engineer, supporting system integration and verification efforts

Work Environment

• Hands‑on engineering environment supporting hardware integration and test operations
• Work performed in laboratory, manufacturing, and test facilities
• Fast‑paced, mission‑critical setting requiring collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and program teams
• Occasional presentations to senior leadership and government customers
• Commitment to safety, quality, and operational excellence in all activities

Basic Qualifications

• Active Interim Secret security clearance required prior to start
• Experience in, or strong willingness to learn, Assembly, Integration, and Test (AIT) operations
• Experience in, or willingness to learn, writing and executing test procedures in an Assembly, Test, Launch Operations (ATLO), or production environment
• Prior experience supporting the Missile Defense Agency (MDA)
• Willingness and ability to present technical information to senior customers and Lockheed Martin executives

Desired Skills

• Prior certification as a Certified Test Conductor, Certified Principal Engineer, or industry equivalent
• Experience with, or willingness to learn, Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs)
• Background testing weapon systems in a production or operational environment
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical drawings, schematics, specifications, and requirements
• Experience in or adjacent to manufacturing engineering or test engineering, including hardware integration and test flows
• Proven success working on cross‑functional, multi‑disciplinary teams
• Familiarity with Lockheed Martin Space systems tools (e.g., SAP, EPDM, VECAMS, PMP Database, Automation Framework) or similar industry tools
• Hands‑on experience with basic laboratory equipment (power supplies, multimeters, signal analyzers, etc.)
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills with customers, program leadership, and engineering teams
