Job Description About Lockheed Martin Space 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 boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We’re advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we’re 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.

About the Role This role will be a valued member of a tight-knit engineering team responsible for a variety of types of GNC (guidance, navigation & control) hardware, potentially including GPSR (Global Positioning System Receiver), RWA (reaction wheel assembly), CSS (coarse sun sensor), ST (star tracker), IMU (inertial measurement unit) or MTR (magnetic torque rod), while supporting multiple programs within LM Space.

From procurement, through manufacturing, test, integration and on-orbit operation, you will have the opportunity to work with a variety of subject matter experts to learn on the job. This role also includes a significant amount of collaboration with external entities, i.e. customers and suppliers, and may include periods of necessary business travel. Successful applicants generally have at least 2+ years of related experience and may have a post-secondary degree or training in a related discipline.

The information below reflects the standard job description for this position:

Designs, develops, implements, verifies and tests algorithms to perform guidance, navigation and control of aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles and upper stages during powered and coast phases of flight, earth orbit, interplanetary cruise and orbital insertion, as well as during staging events. Navigation functions include the statistical processing of measured data points and their substitution into algorithms simulating physical reality. Guidance functions include the formulation of specific equations and control laws to achieve a desired position in space.

Control design and analyses processes consist of the development of the control requirements for aircraft, launch vehicles and/or spacecraft. #spacegnc
