Job Description
The coolest jobs on this planet... or any other... are with Lockheed Martin Space
OVERVIEW:
At the dawn of a new space age, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing people are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every day we use our unique skills and experiences to create, design and build solutions to some of the worlds' hardest engineering problems. Our culture encourages employees to dream big, perform with excellence and create incredible products. We provide the resources, inspiration and focus and if you have the passion and courage to dream big, we want to build a better tomorrow with you.
Going to space is just the beginning. It's what you do when you get there that matters. Lockheed Martin builds the satellites and spacecraft that do amazing things in space for government and commercial customers. Connecting people. Advancing discovery. And protecting what matters most. Lockheed Martin-built satellites give earlier warning of severe weather, connect troops on the battlefield, and deliver GPS directions to a billion people worldwide.
As we look to the future, we're driving innovations to help our customers do even more in orbit. That's why we're crafting smarter satellites that operate like smartphones in the sky, with apps that can be updated in orbit so they can adapt as mission needs on the ground change. Your mission is ours. And as that mission evolves, we'll be ready. Will you?
Every day, our 115,000 employees come to work with one focus - our customers' missions. Our customers tackle the hardest missions. Those that demand extraordinary amounts of courage, resilience and precision. They're dangerous. Critical. Sometimes they even provide an opportunity to change the world and save lives. Those are the missions we care about.
Lockheed Martin. Your Mission is Ours.
What does this role look like?
Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) provides the advanced Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) waveform, giving warfighters 10 times the communications capacity of the legacy UHF SATCOM system. This position will be part of the MUOS SLE SEIT Team! You will be a part of driving a fast pace, Firm Fixed Price program with an established highly energetic and high performing team.
Day-to-day activities in a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) mindset:
Scope & Requirements Management: Continuously verify that all work stays within the agreed-upon scope and that any changes are formally processed through a change-order mechanism.
Cost & Schedule Monitoring: Track actual costs and progress against the fixed price and baseline schedule, flagging any variances early to mitigate overruns.
Risk Identification & Mitigation: Proactively identify potential risks (e.g., technical, supply-chain, resource) and implement mitigation plans to keep the project on-budget.
Performance Reporting: Produce concise status reports that focus on deliverable completion, cost burn-rate, and any scope-change impacts for both internal leadership and the customer.
Stakeholder Coordination: Align internal teams (engineering, procurement, finance) and external partners to ensure all parties understand the fixed-price constraints and collaborate efficiently to meet milestones.
