Job description

Lockheed Martin is seeking a Procurement Representative for a position located in Orlando, FL that will act as the Program Procurement Liaison for the F-35 Sensors Program interfacing primarily with our Central Purchasing team.

Through the DAS, high-resolution, real-time images are streamed from six infrared cameras mounted around the aircraft, straight to the pilot’s visor, taking the F-35 helmet’s virtual reality to the next level.
