Description: We are Lockheed Martin

At Lockheed Martin our amazing people are on a mission to make a difference in the world, and every day we use our unique skills and experiences to create, design and build solutions to some of the world’s hardest engineering problems. Our culture encourages employees to dream big, perform with excellence and create incredible products. We provide the resources, inspiration, and focus, and if you have the passion and courage, then we want you to help our customers stay Ahead of Ready.

The OneLM Transformation (1LMX) effort is an internal transformation project that will change the way LM is doing business across all business areas. This includes system modernization, consolidation of Business Area processes & practices and cutting edge IT and engineering implementation.

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is seeking a full-time, partially-remote, experienced Quality Engineer to be a part of a team of quality engineers that are reengineering the way Quality professionals work across the entire value stream and product lifecycle.

You will work with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure Quality processes are well-defined, redesigned in our PLM System and deployed to programs. This role will primarily be designing the Model-based Quality Engineering capabilities in the 3DX/Dassault ecosystem. This role will focus and specialize on Quality Planning Processes and Methods (test, inspection, first article, source, receiving, etc.)

Key Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Responsible for ensuring quality engineering input is accounted for and modeled appropriately in all value chains such that the total Cost of Quality (CoQ) is right-sized throughout the life of a program. Working with management, design engineering, supply chain management, manufacturing engineering, and sustainment the model-based quality engineer provides input to the contract review processes, requirements distillation processes, program planning processes, product design processes, product quality planning processes, supplier quality / sourcing activities, and sustainment operations.

Key deliverables of a model-based quality engineer:

• Leverage keen knowledge of aerospace, mechanical, and/or structural engineering to collaborate with design engineering throughout the design maturing and release processes to identify and define proper datum schemes, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), key characteristics, statistical tolerancing, and other requirements of concern

• Identify and correct inspectability issues of designs prior to engineering release

• Create first article inspection datasets for parts requiring first article inspection (FAI) within the product lifecycle management (PLM) system

• Identify inspection technology choices and options to downstream facilities and planning organizations

• Create and manage sampling plans and assign to relevant product characteristics so production planning can plan the details of the shop floor work instructions

• Use the digital thread to model impacts from expected quality performance levels on the program’s production system and schedule and coordinate changes as required to product designs or manufacturing plans.

• Assess programs’ readiness states against quality readiness level (QRL) gates for model-based programs throughout their acquisition lifecycle
