About The Position

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. The Systems Integration and Engineering (SIE) organization is implementing a major initiative to significantly improve our capabilities and performance. A key part of this is a focus on improving System Design Integration. To drive this effort, we are creating a new technical leadership position within the Systems Integration department. The Lead Systems Engineer for SE 2.0 will be the catalyst for a company wide cultural shift that fuses rapid execution with uncompromising technical rigor. Reporting to the Systems Engineering 2.0 Director, this role will design, champion, and embed new ways of working that eliminate bottlenecks, embed artificial intelligence (AI) into everyday SE activities, and restore customer confidence in our technical deliverables.
