Electrical Engineer - Ship Electrical Design (HYBRID TELEWORK)

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).

Who We Are

You’ll join a collaborative Ship Integration and Test organization in Virginia Beach working across engineering, production, quality, and shipyard teams to deliver complex naval platforms. Our team values technical excellence, accountability, and practical problem-solving.

Who You Are

You are an electrical engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of design and production. You can interpret engineering drawings, investigate discrepancies, communicate effectively across disciplines, and take ownership of technical issues through resolution. Experience with shipboard electrical systems, CAD/3-D modeling, cable databases, engineering change processes, or as-built documentation is highly valued.

Why Join Us

At Lockheed Martin, you’ll have the opportunity to apply your engineering expertise to mission-critical naval platforms while working with experienced professionals across the shipbuilding enterprise. You’ll gain hands-on exposure to ship integration, production, and system verification while contributing to technology that supports national security and the U.S. Navy.
