Senior Mechanical Systems Integration Engineer

Description

Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.

At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We are creating future‑ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security vision. We are erasing boundaries, forming partnerships across industries and around the world, and advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation.

We are reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.

Lockheed Martin is designing, developing, and delivering a next‑gen wideband MILSATCOM system comprised of integrated space and ground segments that will provide enhanced communications capacity, flexibility and resiliency. This position will be a key member of the Systems Engineering, Integration and Test (SEIT) team in support of the final design, development, production, integration, test, and delivery of this critical capability focused on Mechanical Systems Integration.
