Standard Job Description

WHAT WE'RE DOING

• Advancing the Integrated Discrimination and Electronic Protection capabilities of the Missile Defense System (MDS)
• Leading systems engineering trades, analysis, and studies related to requirements generation
• Developing and delivering MDS capabilities and engineering artifacts into the Technical Baseline (TBL)

THE WORK

This position's primary role will be representing the SE&IT by supporting MDA/DE-SEA (Enterprise Analysis &Technical Innovation) and its role within the MDA Joint Analysis Team OAT). In the test analyst role, the candidate will perform Missile Defense System (MDS) performance analysis of test data generated primarily by the MDA Ground Test (HWIL) program. The candidate may also support analysis of MDA Flight Test events, Real World Event data, and Golden Dome for America (GDA) tests. The role includes developing approaches and tools to support executing System-level and Element-level performance analysis on the complex MDS, and producing analysis results and inputs to the official SEA test report products. In addition, analysts often present their finding during mission data reviews. The engineer will be responsible for working with associated Systems Engineering (SE) teams, Test Organizations, Warfighters and Element Program focals to ensure MDS tests meet technical intent, assess system capabilities, and characterize behaviors. In this role, the candidate will develop, utilize and present analytical products with the intent of assessing strategic and/or theater/regional element system level performance of the MDS in ground test and flight test events. SEA performs analysis on all elements of the MDS, with a focus on System-Level behaviors.

Who We Are

• A dedicated team at Lockheed Martin committed to advancing missile defense systems
• Collaborative environment focused on innovation and excellence in engineering
• Engaged in high-impact projects with national security significance

Who You Are

• Experienced in systems engineering, particularly in requirements generation, concept development, analysis, and simulation
• Skilled in leading technical teams and providing oversight in a complex engineering environment
• Proficient in interfacing with technical stakeholders and managing technical documentation and baselines
