About The Position

The mission matters. So do the people behind it. With advancing defense technology at our core, what sets us apart is a culture of collaboration, purpose, and impact. What is the mission? 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. What does this role look like? ➥ The Skynet Enduring Capability (SKEC) programme is harnessing cutting edge space technology to deliver the next generation of military communications satellites for the UK Ministry of Defense (MOD). ➥ As the space environment becomes increasingly congested and contested, and as user demand for data, bandwidth, and resilient links grows, SKEC will establish a secure, high performance communications network that supports the UK Government, allied nations, and Defense personnel worldwide. ➥ Join a visionary international team driving the future of Defense communications and enabling the UK's strategic satellite capability. This position is contingent on the preferred bidder announcement expected in May 2026
