Jobs via Dice Overview
At the dawn of a new space age, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing people are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every day we use our unique skills and experiences to create, design and build solutions to some of the worlds\' hardest engineering problems. Our culture encourages employees to dream big, perform with excellence and create incredible products. We provide the resources, inspiration and focus and if you have the passion and courage to dream big, we want to build a better tomorrow with you. Going to space is just the beginning. It\'s what you do when you get there that matters. Lockheed Martin builds the satellites and spacecraft that do amazing things in space for government and commercial customers. Connecting people. Advancing discovery. And protecting what matters most. Lockheed Martin-built satellites give earlier warning of severe weather, connect troops on the battlefield, and deliver GPS directions to a billion people worldwide. As we look to the future, we\'re driving innovations to help our customers do even more in orbit. That\'s why we\'re crafting smarter satellites that operate like smartphones in the sky, with apps that can be updated in orbit so they can adapt as mission needs on the ground change. Our 115,000 employees come to work with one focus - our customers\' missions. Those missions demand courage, resilience and precision. Those are the missions we care about. Lockheed Martin. Your Mission is Ours. Lockheed Martin seeks an innovative and talented Spacecraft Responsible Systems Engineer (RSE) to join the Global Security team in Denver, Colorado.
