Job Description:

As we enter a new era of Strategic Weapon Systems, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing men and women are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every single day we use our unique skills, talents and experiences to design and build solutions to some of the world's hardest engineering problems. Do you want to be part of a culture that inspires employees to envision the impossible, perform with excellence and build incredible products? We provide the resources, inspiration and focus-if you have the passion and courage to dream big, then we want to build a better tomorrow with you. Bring your experience and passion for engineering to Lockheed Martin, and build the systems which support our nation's defense systems. This requisition is used to capture interested candidates in opportunities at Lockheed Martin. You can't and will not be hired on this requisition. Actual job responsibilities, levels, and locations will vary based on actual hiring job postings. What does this role look like? We are seeking a highly motivated Multi-Body Dynamics Engineer to join our team. This role supports the analysis, modeling, and simulation of complex mechanical systems for advanced aerospace and defense applications. The selected candidate will apply rigid and flexible body dynamics principles to evaluate system performance, predict loads and environments, and inform design decisions across the product lifecycle. This position requires close collaboration with design, structural analysis, systems engineering, and test teams to ensure mechanical systems meet performance, reliability, and mission requirements. The ideal candidate brings strong analytical capability, hands-on modeling experience, and the ability to translate dynamic behavior into actionable engineering insight. ________________________________________ Key Responsibilities Develop and execute multi-body dynamic models of complex mechanical systems using industry-standard tools. Perform rigid body and flexible body dynamic simulations to assess system kinematics, loads, stability, and response. Support design trades, mechanism development, and structural load predictions. Analyze transient events including deployment, separation, shock, vibration, and other dynamic environments. Collaborate with structural analysts to integrate dynamic loads into FEA models. Support test planning, instrumentation definition, and correlation of analytical models to test data. Document analysis methods, assumptions, and results in technical reports and briefings. Participate in design reviews and provide technical recommendations to leadership and customers. Important Notes Candidates may be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
