Mechanical Engineer Stf

Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more — we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.

At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We’re creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We’re erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We’re advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation.

And we’re reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.

Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.

As a Thermal Engineer you will be responsible for performing preliminary and detailed thermal analysis of missile components, subsystems and integrated systems. The thermal analyst will perform comprehensive modelling of the entire missile including ground systems throughout the entire lifecycle of the system using standardized processes and tools (NX, Sinda Fluent, Thermal Desktop, etc.). Other related responsibilities include:

• Providing technical memos and recommendations to data packages to support peer and customer reviews
• Presenting resultant analysis data to the design/engineering team, customer technical representatives, and Program Office personnel at technical exchange meetings and formal design reviews
• Providing review, interpretation, flow-down and implementation of program requirements
• Performing thermal engineering support for Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) testing
• Work interactively with multiple engineering fields in a fast-paced environment to develop cost-effective solutions to thermal control requirements which also satisfy producibility objectives defined by Manufacturing and Quality groups
