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 for problems that previously seemed impossible. Our team of Radar Systems Engineers and Sensor Architects comes from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, united by a mission to deliver quality designs and cutting-edge capabilities to customers like the Missile Defense Agency, US Navy, Air Force, Army, Space Force, and international partners including Japan, Canada, Spain, Norway, Australia, and the UK.
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 strategic vision, collaborating with subsystem teams to define clear, executable approaches for meeting mission success criteria. Your work will involve conducting trade studies to analyze system-level performance impacts, developing detailed design documentation, and representing the organization on contracts while interfacing with internal and external customers, program leadership, and multi-disciplinary teams.
Why Join Us
If you are looking for the challenge of a lifetime where hard work is the fun part, this is the place for you. We seek lifelong learners who enjoy thinking outside the box and are passionate about driving technology forward to stay ahead of evolving customer needs and threat spaces. At Lockheed Martin, we value your unique skills and expertise, aiming to give back continuously by offering a wide variety of benefits to help employees live flexible, healthy, and fulfilling lives.
