Job ID: 710601BR Date posted: Nov. 11, 2025
Description:Lockheed Martin Skunk Works and its ISR & UAS line-of-business, seeks a motivated and enthusiastic candidate to join the Signature Management & Survivability Team. Specifically, we seek to identify a candidate with expertise or willingness to learn one of the following disciplines:
- Aircraft stealth signature reduction and low observables (LO) phenomenology
- Radar cross section (RCS) susceptibility
- Electromagnetics (EM), computational electromagnetics (CEM)
- LO project/program management

The candidate will be working in a high-paced environment responsible for low observable technology maturation, modeling and simulation, prototype build and test, production support, and external customer communication and marketing. The candidate will work independently and in small teams and participate in Government forums and internal Skunk Works program reviews as an emerging LO signature engineer.

Typical responsibilities may include:
- Responsible for performing, analyzing, and communicating component signature predictions using Unix-based codes and tools.
- Responsible for planning and/or executing laboratory measurements of material coupons to determine physical, electrical, and/or environmental properties.
- Engagement in the research, design, computational electromagnetic modeling, fabricating, and testing of advanced electromagnetic metamaterials.
- Responsible for planning, performing, post-processing, and communicating the results of laboratory, field, and component/vehicle signature measurements.
- Responsible for dreaming and developing new novel approaches to solve difficult problems

The position requires strong verbal and written communication skills for final reports and technical briefings to large groups. An ability to explain complex technical concepts in a readily comprehensible manner is an advantage. The candidate should or will develop experience in customer/client interaction. This will include the ability to perceive customer needs, develop a compelling technical approach to meeting those needs, clearly and concisely describe a plan for implementing the technical approach, and provide reasonable cost/schedule estimates for the work required. The candidate will be expected to develop and execute R&D plans to meet needs defined by management or by the customer. The candidate will typically work without technical direction, but he/she may be called upon to provide technical direction for others. The candidate will participate in and ultimately lead multidisciplinary design teams to solve challenging aircraft survivability problems in the low observables, infrared signature reduction, and LO realm.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree or above in Engineering, Physics, or Optics
- Experience working with bulk radar reduction materials
- U.S. Citizenship
- Active DoD Secret Security Clearance
Desired Skills:
-Experience with BOE development (previous proposal experience)
- Experience in the development of an integrated master schedule (IMS)
- Experience with Polyetherimide (PEI) foam
- Experience working in a production environment, specifically, process improvements
- Experience using Shop Floor Manager (SFM), PEI Foam Selection tool, and working with production control (PC)
