The coolest jobs on this planet… or any other… are with Lockheed Martin Space
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 deliver 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 create 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 catalyzing 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. Your mission is ours. And as that mission evolves, we’ll be ready. Will you?
Every day, our 115,000 employees come to work with one focus – our customers’ missions. Our customers tackle the hardest missions. Those that demand extraordinary amounts of perseverance, resilience and precision. They’re dangerous. Critical. Sometimes they even provide an opportunity to change the world and save lives. Those are the missions we care about.
Lockheed Martin. Your Mission is Ours.
Seeking a skilled problem solver who can break down complex multidisciplinary problems using engineering fundamentals and then apply practical knowledge to design cost effective, robust solutions using custom designs and commercially available components. In this position, you will design and analyze mechanical fixtures, mechanisms, and fluid systems that simulate flight conditions and are used for research, development, and qualification testing of aerospace components and systems in a propulsion test lab environment. Projects typically last 6 to 12 months and can vary drastically from one to another making this an ideal position for creative and adaptable candidates who enjoy new challenges and continuous learning in a fast-paced environment.
