Job Number 720839BR
Description:Space and strategic defense systems operate in some of the most unforgiving environments imaginable. Success depends on precision - and thermal performance is often the difference between mission success and mission failure.
At Lockheed Martin Space, we are redefining resilience and speed through our 21st Century Security® vision. We don't just build systems - we engineer survivability, performance, and reliability into every component. As a Level 4 Thermal Engineer, you will serve as a technical leader driving the thermal architecture of advanced missile systems from concept through qualification and production.
This position supports spacecraft, missile, hypersonic, or other advanced aerospace platforms operating in extreme and highly dynamic environments.
If you're looking for ownership, influence, and the opportunity to solve complex, high-consequence engineering challenges - this role is built for you.
