Mechanical Design Engineer Sr. ER-GMLRS

Description

You will be the Mechanical Design Engineer for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) team. Our team delivers high quality missile and launch pod designs, drives them into production, and supports the supply chain to meet demanding customer requirements.

As the Mechanical Design Engineer you will own production support activities, transition new designs to low rate initial production (LRIP), and lead MRBE (Manufacturing Review Board of Engineering) tasks for the ERGMLRS missile and launch pod. You’ll work side by side with the Camden manufacturing crew, suppliers, and cross‑functional experts to troubleshoot issues, perform root cause analyses, and release updated drawings.

• Provide day‑to‑day production support and resolve manufacturing issues for ERGMLRS hardware.
• Lead MRBE reviews, generate technical data packages, and obtain or maintain MRBE authority.
• Perform root‑cause investigations and drive corrective action implementation.
• Create, revise, and release engineering drawings and 3D models in accordance with program standards.
• Collaborate with Stress Analysis, Materials & Processes, Test, Production, and senior Mechanical Engineers to ensure design integrity.
• Support technical suppliers, conduct supplier visits, and validate supplied parts.
• Travel to MFC facilities in Camden, AR, and multiple supplier sites across the U.S. (~25% of the time).
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and continuous improvement initiatives.

You’re a hands‑on, collaborative engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced, mission‑critical environment. You enjoy turning concepts into flight‑ready hardware while partnering with multidisciplinary teams to solve complex problems. This role offers the chance to work on a high‑visibility missile program, gain MRBE authority, and influence the transition from design to production.

Based in Grand Prairie, TX, you’ll benefit from flexibility in telecommuting (up to 50% remote) and regular travel that broadens your industry network. We are committed to supporting your work‑life balance with flexible scheduling options. Learn more about Lockheed Martin’s comprehensive benefits package.
