Lockheed Martin
Join to apply for the Optics Manufacturing Engineer role at Lockheed Martin.
You will be the Optics Manufacturing Engineer for the Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) team in Orlando, FL. Our team is responsible for delivering best‑in‑class optical components and systems—using diamond‑turning, precision fabrication, and lean manufacturing—to meet demanding defense missions.
What You Will Be Doing
As the Optics Manufacturing Engineer, you will support production of single‑point diamond‑turned optics and other high‑precision optical fabrications. You will partner with operators, engineers, and suppliers to drive cost‑effective, high‑yield manufacturing while ensuring quality, reliability, and on‑time delivery. Your Responsibilities Will Include
Providing technical guidance and hands‑on support to optical operators to achieve peak performance. Designing, documenting, and sustaining manufacturing and test plans for non‑recurring effort (NRE) projects, then transitioning those plans into full‑rate production. Applying lean manufacturing techniques to reduce cost, improve yield, and streamline workflow. Investigating root‑cause of failures or defects, implementing corrective actions, and driving continuous‑improvement initiatives. Managing tooling, manufacturing aids, and capital equipment requirements throughout the product lifecycle. Developing and maintaining process documentation that aligns with customer specifications and regulatory requirements. Collaborating with cross‑functional teams—including design, quality, supply chain, and program management—to resolve technical challenges and support schedule commitments. Why Join Us
We are looking for a collaborative, problem‑solving engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced, innovative environment. You’ll work alongside world‑class talent, use cutting‑edge equipment, and contribute directly to mission‑critical optical systems that protect our nation. Lockheed Martin offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, flexible work‑schedule options, and a culture that encourages growth, diversity, and a “can‑do” mindset. If you are passionate about precision optics, lean manufacturing, and making a tangible impact, we help shape the future of defense technology. Further Information About This Opportunity
