Job 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 do more — 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’re creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security vision. We’re erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We’re advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we’re reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.

Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.

Join the outstanding and specialized field of Mass Properties Engineering and help ensure our spacecraft get payloads to the right orbit around our planet or around other objects in our solar system, help our missile systems intercept a threat and protect our troops, help deliver a payload with pinpoint accuracy, or help us develop smaller, lightweight directed energy weapons so they can be deployed on a variety of platforms.

As a Mass Properties Engineer, you will:

• Provide Mass Properties Engineering support to multiple satellite, missile or special programs                
• Calculate mass properties and update and maintain mass properties database                
• Perform basic trade studies and make presentations at program design reviews                
• Support development of test procedures and perform mass properties measurements, then reduce and interpret measurement data into final user values                
• Support Mass Properties Control Boards and weight reduction teams                
• Document and publish all types of analysis reports and support the mass properties effort on small or large programs

Researches, plans, designs and develops mechanical products and systems such as instruments, controls, robots, engines, machines and mechanical, thermal hydraulic or heat transfer systems for production, transmission, measurement, and use of energy. Applies research to the planning, design, development, and testing of mechanical and/or electromechanical systems, instruments, controls, engines, and/or machines.

Basic Qualifications Demonstrated experience in calculating the mass properties (mass, 3 axis centers of gravity, moments and products of inertia) of components and performing summation calculations into assemblies

Ability to use and understand the concepts behind simple software tools to perform these calculations

Demonstrated ability to perform simple weight and center of gravity measurement using multiple platform scales or load cells

Experience interpreting detailed mechanism designs taken from manufacturing drawings or standard modeling software tools

Data reduction and simple error analysisUS Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance

Desired Skills Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace), Physics, or Mathematics Perform simple mass properties estimation of preliminary design concepts
