The modern missile-threat landscape is characterized by increasing complexity and rapid evolution, making it essential to adopt a multifaceted defense approach.
At Lockheed Martin, we recognize the critical importance of developing and integrating advanced solutions to protect people and nations worldwide.

Detecting an adversary's missile launch, identifying its intended target, calculating its precise trajectory, launching an interceptor, and guiding that interceptor to successfully destroy the threat is an extraordinarily complex challenge.
It demands a seamless integration of advanced technologies, sophisticated systems, and highly skilled personnel.

The Lockheed Martin Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) team is seeking a Systems Engineer - Performance Analyst to be part of a team developing missile defense technology that could forever change our ability to deter and respond to adversity.
