Job Description
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.
This is a unique opportunity to join an outstanding, experienced team of engineers united by a common passion for pushing the boundaries of space propulsion. As a Propulsion Engineer focused on electric propulsion, you will be responsible for a wide variety of efforts spanning the entire engineering design life-cycle for one or more innovative, game-changing space vehicles, from preliminary concept and requirement definition through hardware build, test, integration and, potentially, launch-site and on-orbit operations.
Your duties will include the design of in-space propulsion subsystems. This job requires coordination with customers, suppliers, test facilities, and other related fields including manufacturing, subcontracts, quality, structure design, analysis, systems engineering, and integration with affected subsystems and facilities.
