About this role

At Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, we are seeking an emerging Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Aerodynamics Engineer to join a highly skilled team of systems engineering technologists and algorithm developers. The role supports various contracts and IRADs focused on missile and fire control products.

Daily tasks center on designing, integrating, and testing aerodynamic models while developing and validating complex simulations such as missile 6-degree-of-freedom simulations. Engineers evaluate system performance in complex scenarios and verify requirements at the system and subsystem levels.

The position is within the C3E1000124:E&T SE AERODYNAMICS department and involves close collaboration with internal leadership and external customers. Team members perform critical studies, analyses, and test activities in a structured engineering environment.

Lockheed Martin emphasizes empowering employees through diverse career opportunities, flexible schedules, and comprehensive benefits that support a healthy life at and outside of work. Relocation and housing stipend support is available for this direct role.
