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.
We are creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We are erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world, advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. Our engineers, scientists, and innovators solve some of the world's most complex technical challenges, building the spacecraft and technologies that protect nations, advance discovery, and expand what's possible beyond Earth.
Our work has real impact. 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. But going to space is just the beginning. 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.
As a Staff 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 role 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 team driven to solve hard problems, push technical boundaries, and contribute to missions that truly matter. Your work will involve defining and integrating structural and dynamic requirements into the system baseline, presenting technical findings at design reviews and engineering boards, and supporting component and system-level testing. This is a career built for those who want to shape a new era in space.
The application window will close in 90 days; applicants are encouraged to apply within 5 to 30 days of the requisition posting date to receive optimal consideration.
