Our people are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every single day we use our outstanding skills, talents and experiences to craft 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.

Join the team that is delivering Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and providing precision navigation and timing to the world!

Lockheed Martin is looking for an energetic and high performing Staff Electrical Systems Engineer to join the Navigation Systems (NAVSYS) team in Denver, Colorado.

In this role you will:

• Perform electrical performance and integration, power modeling, channelization/electrical interconnect management, interface compatibility analysis, and manage electrical subsystem designs to ensure compliance with the spacecraft level technical baseline, maintaining end-to-end compatibility, functional allocations, and margins

• Perform verification and validation flow for key system level electrical requirements

• Perform risk mitigation activities for complex interfaces to ensure a smooth integration at the system level

• Collaborate with and support Flight Software, Integration & Test (I&T), and subsystem RSEs during assembly, integration, test phases, and launch of the space vehicle, including leading or supporting anomaly investigations as appropriate

• Analyze and troubleshoot spacecraft design, command and control and mission data processing

• Foster communication and coordinate technical changes between subsystems including EPS, C&DH, Propulsion, Mechanical, Thermal, GN&C, Mechanisms, Communications, Software, and Payloads

• Support Subsystem Responsible Systems Engineers (RSE) and the Space Vehicle RSE, the technical advocate for the satellite throughout its lifecycle, from requirements definition through mission operations; the RSE verifies that the satellite aligns with both Command Media and program technical requirements, and resists inappropriate compromise and risk, checks programmatic decisions, and balances technical performance, cost, schedule, and risk, while ensuring mission success
Basic Qualifications:
• Bachelors degree in Engineering, Math, Physics or other related field or equivalent combination of education and work experience

• Experience coordinating with multiple engineering functions (Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, Flight Sciences, Materials, Manufacturing, Test, etc.)

• Space segment design and/or test experience

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong social skills, and ability to build consensus among peers while building solid relationships with team members

• Willingness to travel for launch campaigns

• U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance
Desired Skills:
• Electrical Systems Engineering (ESE) and integration experience

• Experience with telemetry systems, flight operations, and/or electrical design

• 9+ years' engineering experience

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, synergetic team environment

• Demonstrated behaviors of a systems thinker with the ability to select and apply appropriate systems thinking skills to solve problems and implement constructive change

• Integrating flight software and databases

• Creating/modifying system design artifacts per the requirements baseline

• Technical understanding of the assigned product, accepting responsibility and accountability, and exercising authority including stopping production, test, or a launch

• A problem-solver with strong skills in decision-making (related to cost, schedule, technical and risk), and closure (dedication to close open items/issues) to ensure mission success

• Good facilitator and able to lead resolution of issues

• Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate complex design information, technical decisions and issues to both highly technical and non-technical reviewers.

• Ability to analyze data from spacecraft subsystem providers (e.g. bus, payload) and demonstrate compatibility, assess requirements compliance, identify and resolve risks, and implement opportunities for improved solutions vs. system requirements

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong social skills, and ability to build consensus among peers while building solid relationships with team members, leadership, and customers

• Relevant Masters Degree or relevant Graduate Certificate

• DoD Secret security clearance
