Description: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 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.

Defending against modern-day missile threats requires constant collaboration and innovation. We’re able to integrate systems from end to end to detect, control, and engage the full spectrum of missile threats across every domain. It’s why we’re investing in disruptive technology like directed energy, space-based capabilities, and solid-state radar. We’re creating layers of defense that help keep us all safe and protect our freedoms.

Shooting a missile down with a missile was once a concept only dreamed up in science fiction novels. We’ve made it a scientific fact! So what does it take to spot an enemy missile launch, identify its intended target, calculate its exact trajectory, launch an interceptor, and guide it to destroy the threat in mid-air in a matter of seconds? It’s not easy – but at Lockheed Martin, we help customers solve the world’s most complex challenges. Our culture supports employees to dream big, perform with perfection, and create incredible products. Come, join us!
