Systems Engineer, Stf - GMD Weapons Systems (Gws) | Lockheed Martin

Become a part of something IMPACT-ful! Ground Missile Defense (GMD) is the heart of the Missile Defense System and a key element of our nation's defense against ballistic missile attacks. The GMD Weapon System (GWS) processes data from multiple sensors to identify and characterize the inbound ballistic missile threat, plans the best defensive solution, and launches the intercepting missiles to negate the threat.

The ideal candidate should have a general understanding of the Systems Engineering 'V' and be capable of performing engineering analysis, requirements allocation, and requirements decomposition with supervision from a senior engineer. They must also have a background in hardware including experience with hardware to software interfaces and experience diagnosing hardware faults (fault detection and fault isolation). They should be able to communicate effectively and clearly present technical approaches and findings.

This role is for a Systems Engineer, Staff to support the IFICS Data Terminal (IDT) product team on the Ground Based Mid-course Defense (GMD) Weapon System (GWS) program. In this role, the candidate will perform Systems Engineering functions such as requirements decomposition, hardware fault analysis, and hardware to software interface definition, and testing as part of the IDT product team. The GWS system provides missile defense capabilities that protect and defends the United States of America. This team follows an Agile framework using Jira and Confluence to manage their backlog and document progress. This is not a telework/remote position.

Additional work the role may perform includes:

• Perform technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk, and supportability and effectiveness analysis for total systems.
• Ensure the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints.
• Perform functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation, and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.
