Sr. Radar Systems Engineer

About the Team

At Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems, we tackle the world's most demanding challenges within the Sensors, Effectors & Mission Systems (SEMS) organization. We collaborate with top-tier Radar engineers across our Moorestown, NJ, and Syracuse, NY sites to invent solutions where none previously existed.

About the Role

As a Sensor Systems Architect, you will join a team of the brightest minds to support the architecture, design, and implementation of high-performance Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar systems. This role exists to drive radar capability implementation by defining concepts of operations, establishing radar behavior, and developing the associated requirements that guide subsystems. You will serve as a bridge between technical execution and mission success, collaborating with subsystem teams to define clear, executable approaches and conducting trade studies to evaluate system-level performance impacts.

In this dynamic, multi-disciplinary environment, you will represent the organization on contracts and interface with internal and external customers, program leadership, and senior stakeholders on significant technical matters. It is a position designed for those who enjoy technical challenges that require thinking outside the box, seeking a collaborative atmosphere with motivated engineers, and possessing a passion for lifelong learning to stay ahead of evolving customer needs and threat spaces.
