Job description
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.
The Optical Talent Center within LockheedMartin Space is seeking a Associate Manager, Opto-mechanical engineer to lead a team of 5 to 10 engineers in the design and development of cuttingedge optical payloads.
What You'll Do
Lead & Mentor: Direct a team of Opto-Mechanical engineers, fostering collaboration across mechanical, optical, electrical, and systems domains.
Design Innovation: Own the mechanical architecture for a broad portfolio of passive, active, and directedenergy optical payloads, addressing unique structural, thermal, and vibration challenges.
Analysis & Validation: Perform highprecision mechanical analyses and validate designs through modeling, prototyping, and testing.
CrossFunctional Integration: Work closely with optical engineers, payload managers, and program stakeholders to translate system requirements into robust mechanical solutions.
What You Bring
Technical Expertise: Proven track record in optomechanical design for highperformance optical systems (telescopes, laser weapons, imaging sensors).
Quantitative Rigor: Strong analytical skills with proficiency in GD&T, tolerance analysis, and precisionassembly techniques.
Leadership Ability: Experience leading engineering teams, driving consensus, and mentoring junior staff.
Effective Communicator: Exceptional written and oral communication skills; comfortable preparing and delivering clear technical briefings, design reviews, and status reports to technical and nontechnical audiences, ranging from senior leadership to external partners.
ProblemSolver Mindset: Ability to tackle "formfits function" challenges in precision payload subsystems under demanding performance and schedule constraints.
Why Join Us?
Work on highimpact space programs that push the boundaries of optical technology.
Collaborative environment that values innovation, diversity of thought, and continuous learning.
