About The Position

The coolest jobs on this planet… or any other… are with Lockheed Martin Space. At the dawn of a new space age, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing people are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every single day we use our unique skills and experiences to create, design and build solutions to some of the world’s hardest engineering problems. Do you want to be part of a culture that inspires employees to think big, perform with excellence and build incredible products? We provide the resources, inspiration, and focus - if you have the passion and courage to dream big, then we want to build a better tomorrow with you! The Advanced Technology Center (ATC) is the research lab for Lockheed Martin Space. Through our own skills and those of our partners—including universities and research labs around the world—we’re able to put vision in motion. While we are a part of LM's space division, our technologies are far-reaching across domains. Napkin sketches of lasers that can shoot down UAVs—we made it real. Changing molecules so metals behave differently? We invented that. ATC’s story is written in the success of missions here on Earth and far, far into space. Our innovation extends beyond incremental change. We strive for first-of-a-kind capability with enduring impact. Whatever the application, our charter is to create game-changing technologies. At the ATC, we’re inspiring change in our endless pursuit of what’s next. The Space Science and Instrumentation (SS&I) Directorate at Lockheed Martin Space Advanced Technology Center (ATC) is seeking an experienced senior electronics engineer with experience in electrical/electronics design for space systems to support the NASA Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE) program and JAXA Extreme Ultraviolet Space Telescope (EUVST) and other science based flight instruments as well as contribute to technology research and development efforts. In this role, you will research, develop, design, and test electrical components, equipment, systems, and networks. You will design electrical equipment, facilities, components, products, and systems for commercial, industrial, and domestic purposes to support the ATC, and provide technical support of major program reviews. Additionally, you will contribute technically during internal and external meetings with the SS&I team and the customer. You will have the opportunity to be a part of a high-performing team with responsibilities that include:
