My Lockheed Martin career began at a heritage division.
I spent 16 years at Loral Systems—the first year as an environmental lab
technician, and the remaining as a reliability engineer. This division
manufactured radar receivers, jammers and other surveillance systems for United
States and foreign military fighter and surveillance aircraft.
I continued working at the site for another six years
before it was sold, and I was rehired by Lockheed Martin Mission Systems &
Sensors (MS2) in Syracuse, New York. At MS2, I worked as a reliability
engineer, but in a completely different environment. The MS2 New York division
designed and built ground-based radar systems and sonar systems, all of which
were foreign to me. However, the company provided mentoring and in-house
training that brought me up to speed.
I worked 11 years as a reliability engineer on both
ground-based radar systems and sonar systems. Over the years, I audited
subcontractor sites to verify that they met either military standards or those Lockheed
Martin requirements that qualified them as suppliers to Lockheed Martin. I also
worked on cost proposals, developed reliability predictions for various
programs and mentored new reliability engineers.
I loved doing it all. Lockheed Martin made work fun—it
is a great company to work for.
