Mechanical Engineer

The Mechanical Engineer we hire will help Lockheed Martin pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using Rust sparingly and well. Earn $57,000 - $90,000, own outcomes, and grow your technology career with a team that values 1 years of real experience.

• Pair with technology analysts so Lockheed Martin's MySQL models match real behavior
• Stress-test MySQL systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
• Spot the self-directed Next.js anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Lockheed Martin
• Tune Public Speaking queries until the TX database stops timing out under load
• Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
• Build People Management self-service tools so Fort Worth teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Wire MySQL APIs to GraphQL consumers so data lands where Fort Worth teams expect it
• Decide when to buy Public Speaking versus build it for Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth, TX stack

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A flexible attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
• Demonstrated calm when a Fort Worth, TX client changes scope mid-stream
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• Experience at the junior level inside a full-time role
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
• Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a junior capacity

At its core, Lockheed Martin is a builder-led bet that Fort Worth, TX can out-build anyone when it comes to MySQL. Our Fort Worth team would rather over-communicate than leave a teammate guessing at midnight.

We frame the offer around growth: $57,000 - $90,000 today, mentorship now, benefits always, and the flexibility to live well in TX.
