Lockheed Martin Corp. is hiring.
The Bethesda, Md. defense and aerospace contractor is hosting two hiring events this month for its Skunk Works facility in Palmdale.
The hiring events are on March 28 at the Hyatt Regency Valencia, 24500 Town Center Drive, Valencia and on March 29 at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds, 2551 W. Avenue H, Lancaster.Â
The events are to conduct interviews and make same-day hiring decisions for engineering, production, manufacturing, maintenance and other positions at its top secret Skunk Works plant.
These hiring will support long-term contracts over the next 15 to 20 years, Lockheed said in a release.
Those include work on the X-59, an experimental aircraft being built in Palmdale for NASA that will minimize the noise created when it flies faster than the speed of sound.
More than $400 million in capital investments have been made across Lockheed Martin’s Palmdale campus to address business growth in support of customer missions, the release added.
A cornerstone of that investment is a new advanced manufacturing facility at the Antelope Valley location that opened in August.
This new 215,000-square-foot intelligent, flexible factory incorporates all three of Lockheed’s advanced production priorities: an intelligent factory framework; a technology-enabled advanced manufacturing environment; and a flexible factory construct to support customer priorities with speed and agility while bolstering manufacturing capability in the United States, the company said in a release from last summer.
