Electrical Engineer Sr

Basic Qualifications

• Proficiency in electronic circuit design, analysis, and test methods.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design CAD tools (e.g., Siemens Xpedition, Altium).
• Familiarity with infrared/electro optical systems and low noise electronics.
• Hands on experience using laboratory test equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers).
• The ability to interpret and develop engineering requirements is required.

You will be the Electrical Engineer for the Santa Barbara Focal Plane Infrared Sensors team at Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control. Our team designs, develops, integrates and verifies infrared (IR) electronics that power missile control and aerospace test flight equipment for U.S. and allied customers.

• Design and analyze analog and mixed‑signal circuits that support IR sensors and related hardware.
• Develop flight‑qualified and test electronics, including sensor interfaces, signal conditioning, timing/control logic, data acquisition and power delivery circuits.
• Create schematic capture files, assist PCB layout teams, and perform signal integrity and power integrity analysis.
• Integrate hardware into subsystems, conduct board‑level testing, and troubleshoot issues in the lab.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation such as requirement compliance matrices, design descriptions, and test plans.
• Support design assurance reviews (Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review) and track program milestones.
• Collaborate closely with ROIC, systems, testing and mechanical engineering disciplines to ensure seamless hardware integration.
• Apply Lockheed Martin engineering processes and quality standards throughout the development lifecycle.

• Experience supporting flight hardware and/or defense‑aerospace programs.
• Knowledge of MIL‑STD, NASA, or other program‑specific requirements.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast‑paced, program‑driven environment.
• Experience with MATLAB is desired.
• FPGA firmware design, Verilog or VHDL.
