Lockheed Martin Careers & Interviews

Lockheed Martin is the world's largest defense contractor, heavily anchored to the US Department of Defense (DoD). Best known for the F-35 fighter jet, the legendary 'Skunk Works' advanced development programs, and massive space/missile portfolios. The culture is intensely patriotic, highly structured, and driven by strict compliance to federal contracting laws (FAR/DFARS). Interviewing here requires Absolute Security Clearance eligibility (often active TS/SCI), a methodical approach to engineering, and a deep respect for protocol and hierarchy. While 'Skunk Works' is renowned for agile innovation, the broader company operates on meticulous, long-term program sustainment.
