At Lockheed Martin, we're revolutionizing the aerospace and defense sector through groundbreaking technology, advanced manufacturing processes, and a world-class team of professionals. Our mission-driven approach and unwavering dedication to excellence ensure that we continue to deliver superior products and solutions to our customers around the world.

THE WORK

The Lab Design & Build Team needs a technically‑savvy professional who can bridge hands‑on assembly with manufacturing‑engineering duties. You will interpret engineering prints, analyze the corresponding bill of materials, manage suppliers and inventory, as well as fabricate cable harnesses and mechanical sub‑assemblies. You are also expected to help report status of projects, produce the detailed cost and process documentation that drives efficient lab‑bench construction.

The role blends hands‑on cable‑harness assembly, prototype build, and "build‑to‑print" production with engineering‑support activities such as drawing review, bill‑of‑materials (BOM) creation, cost estimation, and process‑improvement documentation. No formal work instructions are provided; the technician must interpret engineering prints, select appropriate tooling, and assure quality through continuity testing and audit participation.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a dynamic and results-oriented professional with a passion for driving operational excellence and optimizing production processes. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are adept at managing complex projects while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail. Your strong analytical skills, coupled with your ability to communicate effectively and collaborate across departments, make you an invaluable asset to our team.
