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 build solutions to some of the worldsu2019 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 build a better tomorrow with you. Going to space is just the beginning. Itu2019s 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, weu2019re driving innovations to help our customers do even more in orbit. Thatu2019s why weu2019re 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, weu2019ll be ready. Will you? Every day, our 115,000 employees come to work with one focus u2013 our customersu2019 missions. Our customers tackle the hardest missions. Those that demand extraordinary amounts of courage, resilience and precision. Theyu2019re 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. - - - What does this role look like?
