This position is part of the Rotary and Mission Systems business area, where employees across Canada support engineering, systems integration, training, sustainment and in-service support programs for Canadian and international military customers across land, air and sea.

Specific Job Description:

Lockheed Martin Canada Inc. (Lockheed Martin) is Canada's most successful Combat System Integrator (CSI) specializing in large, sophisticated integration projects. We take advantage of advanced engineering practices and modern technologies to design, develop and integrate combat systems. We are seeking employees with exceptional technical skills to become part of our success story.

The Ship Technical Response Team (STRT) is responsible for providing hands‑on support for the Combat System(s) physical installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of the program’s system architecture at the shipyard and/or shore‑based test facility. The role supports “fly‑in/fly‑out” integration and test work, providing onsite presence during a ship build plan ‘Outfitting’ phase and Test program execution.

The successful candidate as a member of our STRT key responsibilities include:

Cable Termination:

Install and secure all Command & Surveillance Systems (C&SS) cable terminations to the specified connectors, plugs or inline fitting as per program(s) scope of supply. Example:

• Single and Multimode splicing and Connectorization
• Local Area Network (LAN) connections, including RJ45 & RJ11 connectors
• Multi-pin Military specification connectors
• Coax, Triax and Heliax connections
• Installation of specialty connectors and conduit as per manufacturer’s instructions
• Use the approved termination kits and tooling
• Perform visual, mechanical, and electrical tests on every termination
• Record all test data in the Test Data Repository and provide pass/fail status to the SI&T Lead
• Identify and document all Cabling and Connectorization deficiencies.

Hardware Integration:

• Shipyard Installation Support and Configuration Management (CM) of Combat System(s) (as defined by the program), verify physical, electrical, and opto‑electronic interfaces against Interface Control Drawings (ICDs)
• Perform Combat System physical installation pre and post inspections.

System Configuration & Test:

• Load combat system OS (as defined by the program), Load combat system operational software (as defined by the program), Load firmware/firmware updates (as defined by the program), apply any corrective diagnostic, verify boot sequence
• Perform diagnostic “Initial Light Off” tests, capture data for analysis, and generate reports.

Fault Diagnosis & Repair:

• Identify and resolve mechanical, electrical, or firmware faults using multimetres, oscilloscopes, loopback analyzers, and vendor‑specific test tools
• Document corrective actions and update the maintenance log.

Documentation & Traceability:

• Maintain a detailed test log, including configuration, test parameters, and results. Develop and maintain in-house technical documentation, including troubleshooting information, operating instructions, and reference materials.

Quality & Safety:

• Adhere to designated program quality standards (example ISO 9001, MIL‑STD 882E)
• Support recommendations for combat systems safety procedures (lock‑out/tag‑out).

Collaboration:

• Work with the Ship Integration & Test (SI&T) Lead to plan the program Test Sequence Network (TSN) and address integration issues rapidly
• Attend daily “stand‑ups” and nightly “debriefs.”

Training & Knowledge Transfer:

• Conduct 1‑hour knowledge‑transfer sessions on a weekly basis for crew, program SI&T team and mentor the shipyard maintenance personnel on the program specific combat system(s) hardware.

Work Environment:

• Short‑term assignments (2–4 weeks) in fixed locations (ship, shore‑based test facility)
• Travel to/from the assigned location company‑arranged.

Required skills, qualifications and experience:

• Technical training in electrical and Electronics, or equivalent experience/combined education, with professional experience
• 3+ years of operational (shipboard) Combat/Marine Systems refit and/or maintenance experience and/or military/civilian technical training
• Must be willing to support schedule including evenings and weekends, as required
• Must have an aptitude for solving challenging problems in a team environment (Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) for hardware faults)
• Must have a high degree of initiative and autonomy
• Must be able to obtain North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secret security clearance
• Cable stripping, connector crimping, soldering, heat‑shrink assembly
• Single and Multimode splicing and Connectorization (certification required)
• Terminate and/or Test all required contacts into connectors as per written instructions and industry standards
• Impedance / Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) measurement
• Fiber termination
• High‑frequency/ Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding, grounding techniques
• Use of meters (multi‑meter, clamp‑meter)
• Radio Frequency (RF) & microwave measurements and testing
• Firmware loading, debuggers
• Oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers
• Polarity & Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing (EMI/EMC, Immunity Test Report (ITR) testing)
• Integration of consoles (Personal Computer (PC)‑based or standalone)
• Review Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• Soft‑Skill & Personal Attributes:
• Team player - Collaborates effectively with diverse stakeholders (shipyard, ship crew, test engineers, vendors)
• Problem‑solver - Fast, methodical debugging mindset; capable of triaging complex hardware faults
• Communication- Clear verbal and written communication; able to document work findings in logs and test reports
• Adaptability - Comfortable working on a fly‑in/fly‑out schedule (extended work‑days, short‑duration stays)
• Safety‑mindset - Strong emphasis on personal & environmental safety; proactive in identifying hazards.

Desired skills, qualifications and experience:

• Experience with shipboard integration and test of a variety of Combat Systems
• Experience with IBM Dynamic Object-Oriented Requirements System (DOORS) is considered an asset
• Experience with networks and networking tools is considered an asset
• Experience with Agile Scrum methodology is considered an asset
