Electro-Optical Systems Engineer; Level IV Security Clearance

Position: Electro-Optical Systems Engineer (Level IV) with Security Clearance
Job Number 712461

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, in-vest, 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 work-force 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.

Lockheed Martin Space is seeking an Electro-Optical Systems Engineer to join our team in Louisville, CO! We are looking for someone with a strong problem solving mindset: ability to develop creative solutions to difficult problems often requiring integration of conflicting and, at times, ambiguous or incomplete data on a fast-paced schedule. You should have the demonstrated ability to effectively communicate complex information, technical decisions, and issues to both highly technical and non-technical colleagues including customers, team members, and suppliers.

We are also looking for the ability to build and maintain relationships, collaborate with others and manage interpersonal dynamics. You should be comfortable working in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary environment while simultaneously working multiple, diverse tasks and projects. Your responsibilities in this role will include the following:

• Being a member of a multi-disciplinary, rapid-development engineering team designing, building, and fielding active and passive optical systems
• Participating in active and passive electro-optical sensor systems architecture development to address challenging missions

• Participating in system analysis and integration

• Participating in engineering and analysis activities

• Participating in laboratory testing and experimental demonstration

• Contributing to summary reports, oral presentations, and/or technical proposals
• Specifying and selecting components for use in electro-optical systems

• Prototype development

• Field demonstration #LI-CS1

Basic Qualifications:

• Experience with electro-optics and/or lasers

• Experience in design and engineering
• Laboratory experience with hardware, such as for research, prototyping, and/or production.

• Experience using sound experimental methods, such as planning, execution, analysis, and/or documentation

• Experience with research and development of new technologies (i.e. TRL 2 to TRL
4) and/or with developing first-of-kind systems or products (i.e. TRL 4 to TRL
6)

• Experience with technical writing

• Must have the ability to obtain & maintain a TS/SCI w/Poly security clearance
Desired

Skills:

• Ability to work under consultative guidance with loosely defined problems and tasks

• Multi-disciplinary engineering knowledge and experience
• Ability and desire to be flexible and do a lot of different types of tasks rather than a narrowly defined role

• Ability and desire to work on multiple, diverse projects simultaneously

• Project management - experience with cost/schedule estimation and execution
• Technical leadership experience

• Some knowledge of business practices relevant to LM: NDAs, SOWs, BOEs, specs, contracts, finance, etc.

• Systems engineering and analysis

• Knowledge of passive and active remote sensing, including optical imaging systems, detectors and focal plane arrays, coherent and direct detection laser radar, radiometry, Fourier/wave optics, beam propagation, and/or atmospheric sciences, optical detection physics and methodologies, signal/image processing

• Knowledge of pointing, acquisition, and tracking (PAT) for optical systems
• Advanced degree in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related fields is desired

• Familiarity with…
