We're looking to add to our unique team of world-class scientists, engineers and manufacturers.
What do the world’s first stealth aircraft, the world’s fastest manned aircraft, and the world’s most advanced fighter jets have in common? They were all imagined and developed by Skunks! We are passionate about purposeful innovation and advances that support our nation and its allies in their most important missions.
Founded in 1943 by visionary Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, the Skunk Works® is Lockheed Martin’s leading source of advanced technology solutions. Just as Kelly intended, Skunk Works operates with a high degree of autonomy where employees are empowered to embrace the seemingly impossible tasks, tackle the toughest challenges and make a real difference for our customers.
At the Skunk Works, we’re looking for extraordinary talent – people eager to be on the cutting edge of technology that will define our future; comfortable with ambiguity; enjoy being part of a team; have a love of learning; and are willing to push the boundaries. Are you ready to redefine what’s possible?
