Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support airframe design and structural integration across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Perform design synthesis across aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, thermodynamics, electronics, controls, and actuation.
• Conduct multidisciplinary system trade studies to optimize performance, weight, cost, manufacturability, and overall system effectiveness.
• Design and analyze metallic and composite airframe structures.
• Develop and maintain 3D engineering designs using CATIA V5 and/or 3DX.
• Support fabrication, assembly, manufacturing, quality, MRB, and supply-chain activities.
• Coordinate with suppliers and production organizations to resolve technical and manufacturing issues.
• Support engineering reviews and communicate technical recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.
• Prepare technical presentations, engineering documentation, and other materials for customers and program leadership.
• Perform or support hand stress analysis and structural assessments.
• Apply GD&T principles to engineering designs and drawings.
• Mentor early-career engineers and provide technical guidance across multidisciplinary teams.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in an engineering discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in airframe structural design and analysis.
• 10+ years of experience with metallic and/or composite aerospace structures.
• 10+ years of experience with CATIA V5 and/or 3DX.
• Demonstrated experience working on complex aerospace or aircraft development programs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with GD&T and engineering drawing standards.
• Experience working with Lockheed Martin Business Areas (LM Client).
• Experience interacting with suppliers, external customers, and production operations.
• MRB coordination and support experience.
• Experience performing hand stress analysis.
• Experience with advanced or highly specialized aerospace systems, including hypersonic boost-glide systems.
• Strong technical communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a senior aerospace structures engineer with 10+ years of experience who can move beyond individual component design and help integrate an entire aircraft/system. They should have deep experience in airframe structures, metallic/composite design, CATIA/3DX, structural analysis, and cross-functional engineering, with additional value from MRB, GD&T, supplier interaction, and advanced aerospace program experience.
