Job Responsibilities

SDA Tracking Layer Campaign Capture Manager

Sunnyvale, California

Job ID: 628273BR Date posted: Jan. 31, 2023 Locations: Sunnyvale, CaliforniaProgram: Missile Defense
Description:“Space is a warfighting domain.” These words aren’t just a bumper sticker, but rather have become the foundation for the Unites States and its allies in our approach to military space, and it is the bedrock upon which Lockheed Martin is developing tomorrow’s capability. The idea of warfighting in space was only a thing of science fiction in the past, but we are now preparing to defend space as the first front of the next war. To do this, Lockheed Martin is at the leading edge of new technologies, approaches, and capabilities – we just can’t tell you about all of them. Now we need you – the best, brightest, and those that want to make a difference while working with the government to make science fiction a reality.

Whether it be in navigation, communication, missile defense, surveillance, or protection of our space capabilities themselves, Lockheed Martin is the leading partner and collaborator with our warfighters. We always keep the warfighters we serve at the front of our mind, and by doing so serve the higher cause of US security and international stability. So, when you look to the night sky, what do you see? Is it GPS, constantly providing exact location coordinates to our nation’s military and in support of global commerce? Do you think of celestial sentries monitoring the world to alert us early of missile launches? How about a spacecraft securely connecting our forces in harm’s way or transmitting critical information from our nation’s leadership? Do you see something else, shrouded in secrecy…….? And most of all, can you see yourself there, defining the solutions that will enable these missions in the future?
