Training Architect and Systems Engineer

Job Description

At Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS), we are driven by innovation and integrity. We believe that by applying the highest standards of business ethics and visionary thinking, everything is within our reach - and yours as a Lockheed Martin employee. Lockheed Martin values your skills, training, and education. Come and experience your future!
This role is part time and is intended to support a small, expert team of Training System Architects (TSAs). The workload will vary depending on emerging tasking. The demand will range from 20 hrs per week to 40 hrs during times of high-priority demands. High-priority demand is not expected often. The selected candidate will be expected to craft executable, holistic training solutions that apply Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE); Systems Approach to Training (SAT); and Science of Learning principles to meet customer needs/requirements within cost, time, and resource constraints. These solutions include definition of the curriculum and the associated training system elements required to provide an effective and efficient learning experience for the students. The training solution, along with customer specifications, drives training system requirements for other engineering specialties including quantities and types of training devices.
The TSA is a core member of capture teams, from early customer engagement (i.e., pre-RFP) through contract negotiations. Typically, the TSA is a key player in the stand-up of the Curriculum Development Team and serves as a resource for that team over the course of the contract.
