Basic Qualifications

• An Active Final Secret clearance is required.
• Comprehensive knowledge of Systems Engineering processes and principles.
• Deep expertise in authoring ICDs/IDDs that meet DIDs and DoD requirements.
• Skilled in requirements elicitation, especially using behavior diagrams to analyze and decompose requirements.
• Proven collaborator on senior systems engineering teams; consistently delivers high quality artifacts per the program’s SEMP and related processes.
• Strong foundation in computer programming concepts, enabling effective communication with software developers and awareness of implementation constraints.
• Interface engineering experience: author ICDs/IDDs covering message definitions (e.g., XML, VMF), processing rules, formatting, physical/network specs, ISO/OSI model, topologies, devices, and protocols (TCP/IP, UDP).

E2604:
Systems Architect Stf

Our team, the Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2

BMC) team at Lockheed Martin, is dedicated to engineering, developing, and integrating new capabilities for the Missile Defense System that protects the United States and its allies. While we are part of a large organization, we operate within smaller, agile teams in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Our responsibilities include Sensor/Weapon Integration, Algorithm Development, User Interface Development, Automated Testing, Cyber Security, and enhancing critical missile defense technologies.

The Interface Engineer will lead in authoring and designing Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs). This includes establishing new interfaces between external elements, including sensors, and other Command and Control Systems. The Interface Engineer will ensure the ICDs and IDDs created are to appropriate standards required of the program. Additionally, it is expected that the Interface Engineer develop various behavioral diagrams to understand and document the requirements.

The Interface Engineer's primary responsibility will be developing, updating, and maintaining multiple ICDs and IDDs. Successful candidate will attend interface working group meetings with the external MDA customer and representatives of assigned external element engineering organization as well as support to program integration and test related efforts for the associated interface. Successful candidate may also be assigned to support: other Interface Engineers in developing ICDs for other Missile Defense Systems Elements, support requirements engineering, use case development, and logical architecture modeling tasks as SE department tasking requires.

The Interface Engineer will support leadership (internal and external), developers, and testers with messages and interface rules (transmit, receive, processing) questions and test findings.

• This position requires a government security clearance; you must be a U.S. Citizen for consideration.
• The role will involve approximately 10% travel to customer sites throughout the U.S.

As leaders of the C2

BMC team, Lockheed Martin partners with industry leaders to develop and field the backbone of America’s missile defense. Our national team supports the design, development, testing, integration, and fielding of hardware and software elements essential for the effective operation of the Missile Defense System (MDS). You will have opportunities to interface directly with key customers, including the Missile Defense Agency (MDA).

You are a dedicated professional with a strong background in system engineering and a passion for missile defense technologies. You thrive in collaborative environments and are adept at working under technical direction to implement innovative solutions.
