Project Engineer

Project Engineer | Lockheed Martin

The FBM program needs a Project-Engineering-focused professional who will plan, schedule, integrate, and control the lifecycle of all technical data product that support war-fighter operations, missile-system assembly, test, and maintenance. The incumbent will act as the project engineer for data products, ensuring they are delivered on-time, on-budget, and to the required quality and security standards while synchronizing with operations, production, logistics, and government partners. Summary of key responsibilities for this position:

• Assist with schedule development – update the master schedule for data-product streams (OPs, ODs, SWOPs, work instructions) and report status to the senior engineer.
• Track funding basics – maintain simple cost and funding logs (MIPR, DSO) and provide routine variance data to the Associate Manager.
• Support configuration control – managing change requests, help baseline revisions, and upload approved documents to the program's SSP repositories.
• Apply security and classification rules – verify, repose, and distribute CUI/COMSEC material according to NISPOM guidance under supervision.
• Help drive process improvements – gather metric data (on-time delivery, defect count) and suggest tooling tweaks for S1000D, MAP/IMPs, or Apriso.
• Drive continuous-improvement initiatives for promulgation processes, tooling (S1000D, MAP/IMPs, Apriso), and metrics (on-time delivery, defect density, rework).
• Support for the SWS Facility, translating schedule changes into data product.
• Provide production-support coordination and long range planning for the SWS Facility, translating schedule changes into data product updates and ensuring the shop floor receives current, approved data.
• Facilitate technical reviews and approvals (final product reviews) and prepare briefing packages for senior leadership and Navy customers as required.

Desired skills:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to work collaboratively with peers, customers, and supervisors and begin to build professional relationships.
• Basic project-coordination experience (e.g., creating task lists, maintaining schedules, tracking status) with exposure to formal project-management tools.
• Missile Tech experience.
• Familiarity with the engineering lifecycle stages (system definition, design, build, test, and field deployment) through coursework, internships, or early-career assignments.
• Experience participating in cross-functional teams to help resolve technical questions and support problem-solving efforts.
• Some experience handling or tracking classified documentation/data under supervision, with an understanding of basic CUI/COMSEC requirements.
• Awareness of data-at-rest protection and basic encryption principles.
• Working knowledge of FBM/re-entry system documentation (e.g., ODs, SWOPs) gained through training or on-the-job exposure.
• Solid software background; comfortable using basic scripting or macro development.
• Familiarity with XML and other simple structured markup languages (e.g., S1000D basics).
• Ability to perform straightforward compliance checks against requirements and flag issues for review.
• Capability to assist technical leads in tracking cost, schedule, and scope items and to provide clear status updates.
• Beginning to apply systems-thinking concepts; able to identify how a change in one area may affect others and suggest practical improvements.
