Space is a critical domain connecting our technologies, security, and humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities where 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.
Our engineers, scientists, and innovators are solving some of the world's most complex technical challenges while building the spacecraft and technologies that protect nations, advance discovery, and expand what's possible beyond Earth. Every day, our teams design and deliver satellites and spacecraft that provide early warning for severe weather and global threats, connect troops and critical missions across the globe, enable GPS navigation for billions of people, and support exploration and scientific discovery.
We are developing the next generation of intelligent satellites—spacecraft that operate like "smartphones in orbit," with software that can be updated in flight to adapt to changing mission needs. These innovations are redefining what's possible in space. If you're driven to solve hard problems, push technical boundaries, and contribute to missions that truly matter, we want you on our team.
As an Early Career Loads & Dynamics Engineer supporting the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) program, you will play a critical role in ensuring spacecraft and flight hardware can withstand the extreme environments of launch and spaceflight. This position offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of spacecraft structural dynamics, collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to ensure mission success.
You will be part of a culture where your work has real impact. You will join a team of some of the greatest minds in the industry, working with a passion for purposeful innovation to help keep people safe and solve the world's most complex challenges.
