Standard Job Description

At the dawn of a new space age, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing 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.

The Combined Orbital Operations Logistics Resiliency (COOLR) Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Satellite System Testbed team seeks an electronic engineer to maintain and upgrade the Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HWIL) infrastructure. The candidate will have the opportunity to gain hands‑on experience with AEHF satellite subsystems.

Additionally, in this role the candidate will collaborate closely with fellow engineers throughout both the design‑update, production and test phases. The position offers substantial career‑growth potential and provides meaningful, challenging assignments that will stretch and refine the candidate’s technical expertise.

The information below includes the standard job description for this position. Researches, designs, develops, and tests a variety of electronic equipment and systems, including radar and radiation detection equipment; radio, television and other communications equipment and systems; circuitry components; analog and digital computers; and control and test equipment.
