Lockheed Martin Space has an immediate opportunity for a mid-career level (typically 9 - 15 years of professional experience) Master Program Planner professional who wants to join our mission. If you have an interest in all things space and an interest in working for a company that will put astronauts on Mars, create 3D printed satellites, launch payloads that learn in orbit, or that develop national defense systems, come and be a part of our Integrated Enterprise Planning Team. At Lockheed Martin Space, we are driven by innovation and integrity. We believe that by applying the highest standards of business ethics and visionary thinking, everything is within our reach - and yours as a Lockheed Martin employee.
