Standard Job Description
Chapter Next – Let Lockheed Martin be the next step in your Journey Back to the workforce!

Have you taken some extended time away from your career in support of family or personal obligations? At Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS), we understand that sometimes we must pause our professional life to support our family and loved ones. After stepping away from the workplace to care for children, aging parents or other family obligations, the road to return to work can be challenging, and at times intimidating. This is where Chapter Next can be part of your solution. 

Chapter Next is a 12-16 week paid returnship hosted by RMS. Candidates who have taken a professional career hiatus for at least 1+ years will be eligible to apply to this program. 

During this returnship participants will become part of a community of similarly experienced professionals with challenging work scopes that contribute to the great innovation produced by Lockheed Martin! Selected candidates will be exposed to comprehensive training, professional development opportunities, networking opportunities, and individual based mentoring.

Our goal is to provide the fundamental tools needed to be successful in your career field, and to potentially prepare you for an opportunity to join Lockheed Martin full-time. Fields of focus will be diverse across the program and include functional and technical opportunities.

We’re seeking an experienced professional to join our team as a proactive obsolescence management engineer, tasked with coordinating a comprehensive effort to safeguard the future of our aircraft systems. As a key member of our team, you will employ a cross-functional approach, collaborating with design engineering, supply chain, program management, and the obsolescence core team to stay ahead of the curve on end-of-life notifications, component obsolescence, and supply chain disruptions. With a strong foundation in electrical or systems engineering, and a background in technical planning, systems integration, and avionics or electrical system design, you will leverage your expertise to mitigate risks, optimize system performance, and ensure the long-term supportability of our complex aircraft systems. This is a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future of our programs and shape the trajectory of our organization’s success.
