Job Description

What We're Doing
At Lockheed Martin, our Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) National Team (C2NT) is pioneering the development and integration of cutting-edge technologies to advance the Missile Defense System, safeguarding the United States and its allies. Our collaborative and agile organization operates in a fast-paced environment, driving innovation through tasks such as sensor/weapon integration, algorithm development, user interface development, automated testing, cyber security, enterprise/infrastructure services, and enhancing leading-edge missile defense technologies.

The Work
You will support the implementation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of Lockheed Martin's enterprise network infrastructure for the C2BMC program.

You will implement core networking technologies such as VLANs, OSPF, BGP, GRE tunnels, and multicast, and you'll collaborate with senior engineers and cross-functional IT teams on network design, upgrades, and project deployments. The role requires regular travel to remote sites for installations, independent troubleshooting, and status reporting, as well as on-call support outside regular business hours when critical activities arise.
