Research Engineer Staff - Dallas, TX

You will be a Research Engineer at Lockheed Martin, responsible for supporting development and production efforts on aerospace products. Our team is dedicated to delivering innovative solutions, and you will play a key role in performing hands-on production support, research, and product development, including the research, specification, planning, design, development, and testing of aerospace products.

What You Will Be Doing
As a Research Engineer, you will be responsible for:
Performing hands-on production support, research, and product development on aerospace products
Researching, specifying, planning, designing, developing, and testing aerospace products
Working with Environmental and/or Mechanical Instrumentation to apply mechanical engineering principles to real-world problems
Conducting dynamic and climatic tests in accordance with approved procedures, safety standards, and organizational policy
Operating digital vibration controllers to produce broad band random, swept sine, classical shock, and shock synthesis tests using electrical-mechanical vibration exciters
Conducting tests with instrument items, including accelerometers, thermocouples, and strain gages
Setting up and running vibration test equipment and temperature/humidity chambers
Using oscilloscopes, voltmeters, and other basic lab equipment

Why Join Us
We're looking for a highly skilled and experienced Research Engineer to join our team. If you have a Bachelor's degree in Hardware, Mechanical, or Aeronautics Engineering, and equivalent professional experience of 8+ years in the field, we encourage you to apply. You should also have experience in preparation, planning, setup, and execution of vibration and temperature tests on electronic components, and knowledge of basic electronics theory and a high degree of mechanical aptitude.
