Technician

Technician | Lockheed Martin

Role Overview As a Technician supporting spaceflight hardware, you will help fabricate, assemble, test, and maintain components and systems used in space applications. This role combines hands-on mechanical and electromechanical work with careful documentation and adherence to engineering specifications. You will work from schematics, engineering drawings, and written or verbal instructions to build and support high-precision hardware. Your work directly contributes to the quality, reliability, and performance of spaceflight systems.

Key Duties / Responsibilities

• Fabricate, construct, assemble, and maintain electronic, mechanical, and electromechanical components and systems
• Perform composite lay-up, fabrication, and assembly activities
• Assemble precision mechanical components for spaceflight hardware
• Troubleshoot, calibrate, adjust, test, and diagnose equipment and devices
• Operate machining tools, lathes, CNC machines, and other related equipment (as applicable)
• Conduct tests and document results in the required format
• Support engineering teams by performing experiments and tests in fabrication or laboratory environments
• Evaluate processes and help identify and isolate process issues
• Implement experiments, collect results, maintain logs, and provide written and/or verbal reports
• Monitor process controls, materials, and supplies to ensure proper function
• Verify quality in accordance with statistical process or other control procedures
• Communicate process or equipment concerns to engineers and advise operators as needed

Work Environment This role is based in a manufacturing and/or processing laboratory environment focused on spaceflight hardware.

Work is performed under general supervision

Tasks require attention to detail and adherence to engineering documentation

The pace is steady and quality-driven, with a strong focus on precision and process control

Collaboration with engineers, operators, and other technicians is part of the daily workflow

A high school diploma or equivalent and at least 1 year of related experience are typical minimums for this role.

Company Mission & Program Overview This role supports the engineering and fabrication efforts behind spaceflight hardware development. The work contributes to the successful build, testing, and performance of systems designed for space applications. By ensuring components are built, tested, and documented accurately, you help maintain the standards required for mission-critical hardware.

Why LM LM offers the opportunity to work on advanced spaceflight hardware in a structured, engineering-driven environment. Technicians are trusted contributors who play a critical role in fabrication quality, process improvement, and mission readiness. You will work alongside engineers and skilled operators in a setting that values precision, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Why You'll Love This Role

• You'll work hands-on with real spaceflight hardware —not theoretical projects
• Your attention to detail will directly impact mission success
• You'll build technical depth in fabrication, testing, machining, and process control
• You'll gain experience collaborating closely with engineering teams
• You'll contribute to meaningful, high-stakes work in the space industry

If you're a detail-oriented technician who takes pride in precision work and thrives in a structured manufacturing environment, this role offers the chance to grow your skills while supporting critical spaceflight programs
