Lockheed Martin is looking for a forward-thinking Spacecraft Electrical Systems Engineer to join the team in Denver, Colorado. This is a "Ground floor" opportunity on a new program award with a rapid System Requirements Review (SRR) and System Functional Review (SFR). This is a flagship program leveraging LM Space MBSE, MBE, and Digital Enterprise initiatives.

In this role, you will :
Oversee all electrical performance and integration, power modeling, channelization/electrical interconnect management, compatibility analysis, and electrical subsystem designs to ensure compliance with the spacecraft level technical baseline, maintaining end to end compatibility, functional allocations and margins
Support trade studies for power system implementations, payload accommodations and system architecture
Perform complex trades to establish the baseline architecture, incorporating components from multiple heritage systems as well as newly developed systems
Serve as a Responsible Systems Engineer (RSE) supporting the Space Vehicle CPE/Chief Systems Engineer, the technical advocate for the satellite throughout its lifecycle, from requirements definition through mission operations; the RSE verifies that the satellite aligns with both the Command Media and program technical requirements, and resists inappropriate compromise and risk, checks programmatic decisions, and balances technical performance, cost, schedule, and risk, while ensuring mission success
Participate in developing and executing critical development program key reviews such as SRR, SDR/SFR, PDR and CDR, effectively communicating to program and customer management and executive leadership extemporaneously and in formal reviews
