Flight Sciences Multi-body Dynamics Engineer; Level 3

Flight Sciences Multi-body Dynamics Engineer (Level
3)

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.

OVERVIEW:
At Lockheed Martin, your work has real impact. Every day our teams design and deliver satellites and spacecraft that:

• Provide early warning for severe weather and global threats
• Connect troops and critical missions across the globe
• Enable GPS navigation for billions of people
• Support exploration and scientific discovery beyond our planet

But going to space is just the beginning. What matters most is what happens once we get there. We're developing the next generation of intelligent satellites—spacecraft that operate like "smartphones in orbit," with software that can be updated in flight to adapt to changing mission needs. These innovations are redefining what's possible in space. If you're driven to solve hard problems, push technical boundaries, and contribute to missions that truly matter, we want you on our team.

Lockheed Martin Space — Your Mission is Ours.

• Lead structural dynamics analyses that shape the performance and survivability of missile and spacecraft flight hardware, from early concept through flight.

• Develop, refine, and own high-fidelity dynamic models using both in-house and industry-standard tools to simulate mechanical loads, deployment mechanisms, and complex separation events.

• Drive loads development at both the component and system level, translating real-world environments into actionable design criteria and validated engineering solutions.

• Plan and execute dynamic and static test campaigns—including separation events—then synthesize results into clear, data-driven insights that influence design decisions.

• Partner across a multidisciplinary engineering team to perform design trades, guide architecture decisions, and ensure structural integrity throughout the product lifecycle.

• Define and support dynamic test requirements, oversee test execution, and lead data reduction and correlation efforts to ensure alignment between analysis and test.

• Communicate complex technical findings with clarity and confidence, delivering high-quality documentation and presenting to internal teams, customers, and program leadership at key design reviews and technical forums.

This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of spacecraft structural dynamics, collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to ensure mission success.

• This position is full-time onsite at our Huntsville, AL, Sunnyvale, CA or Littleton, CO campuses

The ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance, thus US Citizenship is required.
