Save Job

What We’re Doing Our team, the Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) team at Lockheed Martin, is dedicated to engineering, developing, and integrating new capabilities for the Missile Defense System that protects the United States and its allies. While we are part of a large organization, we operate within smaller, agile teams in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment. Our responsibilities include Sensor/Weapon Integration, Algorithm Development, User Interface Development, Automated Testing, Cyber Security, and enhancing critical missile defense technologies.

The Work The Interface Engineer will lead in authoring the development of ICDs and IDDs. This includes establishing new interfaces between external elements, including sensors, and other Command and Control Systems. The Interface Engineer will ensure the ICDs and IDDs created meet the appropriate standards required of the program, develop behavioral diagrams to understand and document the requirements, and create requirements captured in DOORS at sufficient detail to provide clear understanding to the implementation teams. The primary responsibility is developing and updating multiple Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs). The successful candidate will attend interface working group meetings with the MDA customer and external element engineering representatives, support program integration and test efforts, and may also assist other interface engineers in developing ICDs for other BMDS Elements, support requirements engineering, use case development, and logical architecture modeling tasks as SE department tasking requires. The candidate will support spiral leadership to assure interface artifacts and system assessment tasks required for the assigned sensor interface are completed on schedule.
