Integrated Program Planner - Level 2

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 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.

At Lockheed Martin Space we build satellites and spacecraft that do amazing things in space for our government and commercial customers. Our satellites give early warning of severe weather, connect troops on the battlefield, and deliver GPS directions to a billion people worldwide.
