About this role
Standard Job Description We are committed to work-life balance by promoting this hybrid telework opportunity. These job requirements allow the employee to work at a Lockheed Martin-designated office or job site for part of their schedule and has a predefined regular, recurring telework schedule for the remaining part of their work schedule. What We're Doing At Lockheed Martin, we bring together talented people, advanced technology, and mission-focused innovation to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges. At our Virginia Beach, VA location, our Ship Integration and Test team supports the development, construction, and delivery of the Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) warship. The Work As an Electrical Engineer, you will provide technical expertise throughout the shipbuilding lifecycle, helping ensure electrical designs are accurately translated into production and that as-built systems meet performance, quality, and safety requirements. You’ll collaborate with senior engineers, shipyard personnel, and cross-functional teams to: Update and release electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness layouts based on approved design changes. Verify ship cable databases against design requirements and coordinate resolution of discrepancies. Review 3-D electrical models using tools such as CAD and Navisworks to validate equipment placement, clearances, and cable routing. Track and manage Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), communicating impacts and ensuring timely execution and closure. Develop and review as-built electrical documentation based on field changes and verification data. Conduct onboard ship checks to verify installations and ensure documentation accurately reflects the vessel. Support resolution of critical production issues by developing change documentation and coordinating corrective actions. Participate in design reviews, technical meetings, and briefings while maintaining clear documentation for internal and customer use. Travel of up to 25% is required, including monthly collaboration meetings in Moorestown, NJ (typically 1–2 days) and periodic visits to the shipbuilder in Marinette, WI (typically 1–2 weeks at a time).
