Lockheed Martin
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. 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 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 we build satellites and spacecraft that perform amazing functions for our government and commercial customers. Connecting people, advancing discovery, and protecting what matters most. Our satellites give early warning of severe weather, connect troops on the battlefield, and deliver GPS directions to a billion people worldwide. We also elevate rocket science by developing systems that protect from both a distance and in close‑combat. We are pioneering future missile defense and hypersonic technology with a team of incredible employees worldwide. As we look to the future, we’re driving innovations that enable our customers to do even more in orbit. Join our Program Planning team in the dynamic world of space.
