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.
For over 60 years, the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) team has supported the Navy's mission to provide affordable and credible strategic defense. We offer unique career opportunities and challenges on a program with a rich history and exciting future. We help keep this nation and our allies secure. The FBM Program is experiencing significant growth, and we need your expertise to deliver amazing new technologies to our customers while maintaining the technical requirements of the strategic deterrence.
Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.
Mass Properties Engineering is the art and science of predicting the mass properties of a satellite, missile, aircraft, land vehicle or marine system before it is built, assessing and supervising the mass properties all through development, and finally performing highly accurate measurements to prove to our customers it will perform as proposed. Our Mass Properties Engineers 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 missile, reentry systems, or special programs
Calculate mass properties and update and maintain mass properties database
Perform basic trade studies and make presentations at program design reviews
Lead mass properties audits, develop test procedures and perform mass properties measurements, then reduce and interpret measurement data into final user values
Facilitate Mass Properties Control Boards and weight reduction teams
Document and publish all types of analysis reports
Lead the mass properties effort on small programs
Basic Qualifications
Proficiency in calculating the mass properties (mass, 3 axis centers of gravity, moments and products of inertia) of components and performing summation calculations into assemblies; developing simple software tools to perform these calculations
Performing mass properties analysis to resolve weight, center of gravity, mass moments of inertia, and products of inertia from assemblies down to the component level; tracking changes impacting mass properties; preparing mass properties reports and supporting design reviews
Interpreting detailed mechanism designs taken from manufacturing drawings or standard modeling software tools
Demonstrated experience in weight and center of gravity measurements by platform and multiple load cell methods, data reduction, and simple error analysis
US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret security clearance
Desired skills
Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace), Physics, or Mathematics
Demonstrated understanding of and interactions of other mechanical analysis groups including stress, structural loads and dynamics, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, propulsion and power systems, as well as subsystem designers to promote mass properties efficient design alternatives
Experience performing more complex mass properties measurements using rotary-type spin balance machine. Demonstrated ability to interpret results and dynamically balance the test object within requirements
Take task direction and prioritization from senior engineers and management in mass properties analysis, control, verification and database methods
Self-starter and able to perform multiple mass properties tasks
Perform simple mass properties estimation of preliminary design concepts.
Demonstrated proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point, solid modeling applications (IDEAS, Pro-E, or CREO), Mathcad and/or MATLAB and an understanding of other software analysis tools.
Experience as a key contributor for weight control and reduction efforts
Ability to support technical concerns with respect to weight reductions
Ability to write Mass Properties procedures, practices and/or specifications
Experience working on united product team, interacting with other engineering fields, technicians, subcontractors, and customer
Familiarity with manufacturing and assembly techniques & processes, developing test procedures, and performing data reduction
Demonstrated behaviors of a systems thinker with the ability to select and apply appropriate systems thinking skills to solve problems and implement constructive change
Missile or space segment design and test experience with one or more subsystems or fields outside of Systems Engineering
Excellent written and verbal communications skills, strong social skills, and ability to build consensus among peers while building solid relationships with team members
