Job Description

Protecting what matters most is the mission that matters most.

Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more— 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’re creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We’re erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We’re advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we’re reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity. Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.

We are looking for talented Software Engineers with a passion for developing creative solutions spanning Space Domain Awareness, Space Battle Management Command/Control, Modeling/Simulation, Wargaming and Test/Training. If you are a team-oriented, full stack, Java/JavaScript software developer with a background in orbital mechanics, mathematics, gaming and optimization strategies, come join us.

Our team leverages industry standard open-source software solutions such as GitLab, Kubernetes, Docker, and Rancher.

As a Software Engineer on an Agile Scrum Team, you will have the opportunity to rapidly develop and deploy solutions for a complex space system following core engineering principles, ultimately enabling the delivery of fully functioning mission capability to end users securely and continuously.

You will be working side by side with extraordinarily talented and experienced engineers, while having the opportunity to lead and mentor less experienced individuals on the team.
