Lockheed Martin Space is seeking a Senior Project Engineer to join our team in Huntsville, AL or Littleton, CO!
In this role you will provide critical systems engineering and programmatic support for the IGNITE FEG-01 Flight Experiment initiative. This role serves as the primary liaison for status tracking, asset management, subcontract coordination, and system engineering checkpoint review coordination. Ensure successful execution of flight demonstration test assets and aligned program delivery.
Key Responsibilities
1) Systems Engineering Status Reporting: Own and maintain end-to-end systems engineering status reporting for the FEG-01 program, including integration of technical performance metrics, milestone tracking, and readiness assessments for program review boards.
2) Flight Demonstration Test Asset Tracking: Assist with comprehensive tracking of flight demonstration test assets, encompassing hardware-in-the-loop simulations, ground test configurations, and flight hardware sequencing. Ensure asset visibility across design, fabrication, test, and launch phases.
3) Subcontract Labor Coordination:Coordinate and manage subcontract labor resources, including task order issuance, resource leveling, and performance monitoring. Serve as the primary point of contact for subcontractor technical deliverables and schedule adherence.
4) Systems Engineering Checkpoint Review Coordination: Own and facilitate end-to-end system engineering checkpoint reviews (Design, Readiness, Performance) aligned with IGNITE FEG-01 milestones. Lead pre-review preparation (artifact assembly, agenda distribution with RACI matrix, baseline data pull), conduct time-boxed review sessions with cross-functional stakeholders (SEIT lead, subsystem leads, program management, quality), and drive post-review action-item tracking, Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) updates, and senior leadership briefings. Establish recurring coordination mechanisms (weekly SE syncs, tool-integrated traceability via ALM/DOORS, document control per ECI/LMPI/CUI requirements).
5) Integrated Program Support: Facilitate cross-functional coordination between systems engineering, program management, quality, and procurement teams. Support integration of test results, configuration management, and risk mitigation actions.
6) Documentation & Briefings:Prepare and deliver status reports, briefings, and program documentation for senior leadership, government stakeholders, and integrated project team meetings.
7) Technical & Schedule Risk Management: Identify, track, and escalate technical and schedule risks. Develop mitigation plans and track action items to closure through program milestones.
Occasional work travel may be required.
