Job Description
The coolest jobs on this planet... or any other... are with Lockheed Martin Space.
At the dawn of a new space age, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing men and women are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every single day we use our unique skills, talents and experiences to design and build solutions to some of the world's hardest engineering problems.
Do you want to be part of a culture that inspires employees to envision the impossible, perform with excellence and build incredible products? We provide the resources, inspiration and focus-if you have the passion and courage to dream big, then we want to build a better tomorrow with you.
We are currently seeking a Mechanisms SME to design and build mechanisms for spacecraft at Lockheed Martin. These critical components include anything that moves on the satellite, including hinges, gimbals, motors, gears, dampers, rotary joints, linear actuators, and deployables.
Join the Lockheed Martin team and be a part of the company that has developed and flown the most innovative mechanism designs in the industry, including the largest mechanism ever deployed in space, the International Space Station Solar Array. The mechanisms design team supports all lines of business at Lockheed Martin which means you could be designing mechanisms for the next mission to Mars or for the next generation of GPS satellites or for systems that protect and defend our nation.
In this role, you will:
Establish the design of mechanisms, including requirements allocation, trade studies, solid modeling, materials evaluations, and analyses.
Participate in issue resolution and develop solutions to technical problems of varying complexity while assuring sound technical content and timely closure.

Generate and release drawings using CAD software.
Collaborate with manufacturing personnel to supervise the build and test of the hardware in the production facility located next door to the engineering building.
May become the Certified Principal Engineer (CPE) for the mechanism. The CPE is the technical advocate responsible for all aspects of the mechanism from program inception to launch and on-orbit operations.
May become the Product Team Lead (PTL) for several mechanisms and asked to lead multiple integrated product teams consisting of engineers, analysts, manufacturing personnel, and suppliers. The PTL will lead team meetings, be the point of contact between with the program/customer, and lead design reviews, readiness reviews, and review boards. The PTL will also establish the detailed plan, manage the team to that plan, report cost and schedule performance, and report earned value management metrics.
Basic Qualifications
Technical experience with mechanism design using motors, bearings, gears, resolvers, and potentiometers.
Experience designing spacecraft, aerospace, or mechanical components
Demonstrated ability to drive hardware production activities through delivery to the program.
Proficient with mechanical CAD modeling in CREO or equivalent
Knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
Strong mentoring skills
Desired skills
Considered a technical leader in aerospace mechanisms design.
User of CREO CAD software
CPE or CPE delegate experience
MRB trained and certified
Ability to work in a reciprocal and team-based environment
Familiar with releasing drawings in EPDM 9.1
Experience working with and overseeing manufacturing and/or outside suppliers
Cost account manager training/experience
Active Top Secret Clearance.
