Job ID: 657385BR Date posted: Nov. 22, 2023 Program: NGI
Description:Take your career to a new level and work at an extraordinary company in Huntsville AL.

The coolest jobs on this planet… or any other… are with Lockheed Martin Space.

Defending against modern day missile threats requires constant teamwork and innovation. That’s why we’re able to integrate systems so you can detect, control and engage the full spectrum of missile threats across every domain. We are investing in disruptive technology like directed energy, space-based capabilities and solid state-radar. To build layers of defense that help keep us all safe!

Shooting a missile down with a missile was once a concept only dreamed up in science fiction novels. We’ve made it scientific fact!
