WHAT WE’RE DOING

At Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems, we're on a mission to drive innovation and uphold the highest standards of business ethics. We believe that by pushing the boundaries of visionary thinking, we can achieve exceptional results. As a Lockheed Martin employee, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while working in an environment that values integrity and excellence.

THE WORK

As a Staff Rotors Design Engineer, you will lead the design, development, and support of sophisticated rotor head systems that enable safe, high performance aircraft missions. You will work closely with analysts, material and process engineers, manufacturing engineers, test engineers, and suppliers to translate mission requirements into elegant, manufacturable solutions, leveraging both traditional machining and cutting edge additive manufacturing and composite technologies. U.S. citizenship is required due to program security requirements.

As a key member of our Rotor Design team, you will:
• Lead the design, development, and validation of rotor head components—including bearings, seals, controls, hydraulics, and blades—using advanced manufacturing methods such as additive manufacturing and composites.
• Strategically engineering change processes, drawing revisions, and specification updates to ensure compliance with customer requirements and program schedules.
• Influence cross functional teams—analysts, material and process engineers, manufacturing, test, and supplier partners—to drive design closure and performance optimization.
• Apply advanced simulation tools (ANSYS FEA & CFD) to assess loading, dynamics, and structural integrity, ensuring safety and mission success.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on CATIA V5/3DX modeling, CAD best practices, and manufacturing considerations for aluminum, titanium, and steel parts.
• Develop and implement automation tools (VB macros, Python, MATLAB) to streamline complex engineering tasks and improve productivity.
• Ensure all deliverables meet Lockheed Martin’s business ethics, quality, and security standards.
