Lockheed Martin is seeking Instrumentation Operations Engineers who will play a crucial role in integrating requirements and programming new instrumentation data acquisition equipment, including FTI fiber systems and both analog and digital signal conditioning hardware during integration and flight tests. The successful candidate will work independently or lead a team to execute project schedules and technical requirements, ensuring that the goals of the test program are met. This position involves overseeing the installation, checkout, and calibration of data systems to ensure that the collected data can be properly displayed, processed, and analyzed. Additionally, the engineer will maintain configuration control and mission capability of the instrumentation system along with all associated ground support equipment. The responsibilities also include the specification, selection, design, integration, operation, and maintenance of airborne data acquisition systems and their related components. This encompasses telemetry, flight test-specific hardware, or prototypes for flight test evaluation. The engineer will support preflight, post-flight, and control room activities for all scheduled missions, interfacing with test operations, maintenance, and management to ensure that all instrumentation requirements are coordinated and accounted for. Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills are essential, as well as excellent communication skills, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively to meet project goals. The position requires a willingness to work extended hours, off-shift, and weekends as necessary, along with occasional travel as required by the Test Program. Candidates must be U.S. citizens due to the security clearance requirements of the facility.
