Job Number 730147BR
Description: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 re-imagining 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.
• Generating and simulating operational level plans to explore the art of the possible, how we could defend the ultimate high ground in a future space war
• Dynamically optimizing both terrestrial and space-based sensors to provide comprehensive space domain awareness
• Strategically optimizing the placement and maneuvering of constellations of satellites to satisfy multiple, evolving priorities
Our team leverages industry standard open-source software solutions such as GitLab, Kubernetes, and Helm. Our automation-first and "everything as code" mindset allows our software engineers to focus their time and efforts on what is most important - building cutting edge functionality for our end users.
Basic Qualifications:
• Deep Network Foundations: Knowledge of the OSI model, TCP/IP suite, VLAN design, UDP multicast, and ACL architecture and implementation.
• Multi-Vendor Device Mastery: Proven hands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting firewalls (Cisco, Palo Alto, Juniper), routers, and switches from both Cisco or Juniper product lines. Familiarity with network virtualization platforms (VMware/ESXi) is a plus.
• Agile Delivery Experience: Demonstrated ability to work in Agile development environments, leveraging tools such as JIRA and Confluence for task tracking, sprint planning, and documentation.
• Security Certification Requirement: Possession of an IAT Level II (8140-compliant) certification - e.g., Security+, GSEC, SCNP, SSCP, CISSP, CISA, GSE, SCNA, etc. If not already held, the candidate must obtain the certification within 60 days of start-date.
• Clearance & Citizenship: U.S. citizenship required; Active Top-Secret/SCI clearance required to start. Position is located in a facility requiring special access.
Desired Skills:
• Technical Leadership: Recent experience serving as a technical lead (architecture design, technical research, project management).
• Automation & Scripting Proficiency: Development or scripting experience with Python, PowerShell, Ansible, or comparable automation tools to streamline network provisioning and compliance.
• Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Exposure: Hands-on work in network-focused SRE functions such as automation, incident response, performance monitoring, capacity planning, metrics development, and security hardening.
• Excellent Communication: Strong written and verbal skills; capable of producing clear technical presentations, Visio/network diagrams, and collaborating effectively within high-performing engineering teams.
• Team-Oriented Delivery: Proven track record of building strong relationships across functional groups and consistently delivering high-quality results on schedule.
• Security Design Knowledge: Intermediate to advanced understanding of security architectures, secure coding/configuration practices, and testing methodologies; able to synthesize findings and advise leadership on remediation.
• Critical Thinking & Problem Solving: Ability to analyze complex network issues, develop root-cause analyses, and implement robust solutions in dynamic environments.
• Adaptability: Comfortable thriving in fast-paced, rapidly changing projects while maintaining focus on technical excellence.
• Time Management: Demonstrated capacity to prioritize tasks, manage multiple concurrent initiatives, and meet strict project deadlines.
