Lockheed Martin is seeking an experienced Senior Systems Integration & Test Engineer to join the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) Platform Integration Integrated Product Team (IPT) focused on CPS installation on US Navy submarines.

In this role you will coordinate across the CPS industry and government team to plan and execute integration of the CPS Weapon System onto US Navy submarines. You will be involved in development, integration, and test of the CPS weapon system interfaces, and will also drive the planning of the CPS installations on each Navy submarine. You will work with engineers across the program to ensure success within critical deployment schedules. In this role you will be expected to identify areas of technical concern, engage teammates to develop key solutions, and support implementation of the solutions.

This role gives you an opportunity for involvement in weapon system development across the program lifecycle : influencing requirements for new technology insertions, ensuring sub-systems are integrated to meet top-level program requirements, driving lab and field test planning, hands-on participation in installation and shipboard test, and support to certification before fielding.
