Lockheed Martin Space is headquartered in the beautiful Denver metro area, where employees work on key programs like the Orion spacecraft and GPS. From production to engineering to business operations, employees support a range of activities across the Space portfolio. Located near the base of the Rocky Mountains, the Mile High City (along with nearby Boulder and Colorado Springs) offers the best of both worlds: the thrill of outdoor adventure and the bustling excitement of a world-class city. Skiing, hiking, rafting and climbing are right at your doorstep, alongside award-winning entertainment venues like Red Rocks, James Beard-nominated restaurants and all major league sports teams.
From pioneering world-class sensing and warning systems to state-of-the-art solar array manufacturing, our employees in the Bay Area (Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, and Pleasanton) continue to build upon our legacy in advancing space exploration and national security imperatives. In the heart of Silicon Valley is Lockheed Martin Space's research and innovation lab, the Advanced Technology Center (ATC), where employees work on cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, weather instruments, directed energy and more. Residents enjoy a temperate climate year-round and explore the outdoors to the fullest with access to beaches, mountains, parks and bike trails. The Bay Area also takes pride in its multi-cultural community, where residents enjoy a wide array of unique restaurants and festivals.
In King of Prussia, Lockheed Martin Space develops critical software, artificial intelligence/machine learning and cyber solutions, as well as manufacturing and testing advanced technology systems. Outside of supporting important missions for the U.S. government, employees living in the Valley Forge region have access to world-class shopping and dining at the King of Prussia Mall nearby. King of Prussia is also home to an array of sites and parks rich in American history, including Valley Forge National Historical Park. For those wanting to escape to the city, Philadelphia is just a stone’s throw away.
North Alabama is an area rich in aerospace and defense heritage and still remains a hub for this critical work. From innovation in hypersonic technologies to supporting America's missile defense capability with NGI, the career opportunities available in the Rocket City are unparalleled. In nearby Courtland, you’ll find exciting work for assembly, integration, and testing of next-generation systems, as well as the production of electronics assemblies used in multiple types of military systems and spacecraft. When employees aren't busy making a difference for security and exploration, they enjoy the many delights of this vibrant region—from outdoor recreational activities like golfing, fishing and hiking, to unique art exhibitions, sports and entertainment venues, and culinary scenes.
The Lockheed Martin Space Coast (Titusville, Cape Canaveral and Patrick Space Force Base) is at the forefront of the company's most historic and longest-running programs: Orion and Fleet Ballistic Missiles (FBM). Outside of being a hub for space exploration, the Space Coast is a nature lover's paradise with an emphasis on walkable communities, hundreds of miles of nature trails, beaches and conservation areas. There's no shortage of things to do in Brevard County, including visiting the Brevard Zoo, nighttime bioluminescent kayaking, and the world-renowned Kennedy Space Center. From golfing and airboat rides to cruise ships and kitesurfing, there's something for everyone.
