Description:

Protecting what matters most is the mission that matters most.

Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies,

our security and our humanity. While others view space

as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities,

where we can do more- we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the

future. At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness

the full potential of space to cultivate innovation,

reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what

technology can achieve. We're creating future-ready

solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through

our 21st Century Security vision. We're erasing

reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring

security and prosperity. Join us in shaping a new era in

space and find a career that's built for you.

At Lockheed Martin Space we build satellites and

spacecraft that do amazing things in space for our

government and commercial customers. Connecting

people, advancing discovery, and protecting what

matters most. Our satellites give earlier warning of

severe weather, connect troops on the battlefield, and

deliver GPS directions to a billion people worldwide. We

also take rocket science to the next level developing

systems that protect from both a distance and in close combat. We are pioneering the future of missile

defense and hypersonic technology, and we're doing it

all with a team of incredible employees across the

world. As we look to the future, we're driving

innovations to help our customers do even more in

orbit. Come, join our Program Planning team in the

dynamic world of Space. Here, we are driven by

innovation and integrity. By applying the highest

standards of business ethics and a forward-thinking

mindset, we believe everything is within our reach
- and yours - as a Lockheed Martin employee.
