WHAT WE’RE DOING
At Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) in Valley Forge, PA, we’re at the cutting edge of defense innovation. Our teams design, develop, and deliver advanced systems that provide a strategic advantage across land, sea, air, and space. From Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms to advanced missile and targeting systems, our technology keeps the world safe.
We support critical platforms including the F-35 Lightning II, P-8 Poseidon, MQ-9B, and U2 Dragon Lady along with long range strike munitions including JASSM, Tomahawk, and LRASM. Our solutions span ISR, anti-submarine warfare, RF communications, and GPS—equipping warfighters with the tools they need to succeed.
THE WORK
LM RMS in Valley Forge is looking for a Deputy Program Manager (DPM) to join the USAF JASSM Enterprise Software (JES) program. In this role, you’ll manage cost, schedule, performance, and risk across a complex and high-visibility platform within the Department of Defense. You will engage with both the internal program team and external stakeholders, working closely with the USAF JASSM Program Office and international customers. The DPM will collaborate closely with the JES Program Manager, Engineering/Functional leadership, and LM RMS senior leadership to manage day-to-day operations, drive priorities, identify/manage risks & opportunities, and ensure flawless program execution.
WHO WE ARE
The JES program consists of software development, systems engineering, and operations and maintenance (O&M) to support the development, deployment and maintenance of the JASSM Enterprise Management System (JEMS) web application, the Operational Realtime Combat Analysis (ORCA) web application, the SMART-Sync desktop application, Terminal Area Model (TAM) Automation tools, and Mission Optimization / Advanced Training systems engineering for both USAF and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) stakeholders.
Our engineers and program teams work at the forefront of next-generation technology. At LM RMS, innovation isn’t just encouraged—it’s expected. We pride ourselves on delivering mission-critical capabilities while fostering a collaborative, energized culture. We’re problem-solvers, builders, and forward-thinkers committed to protecting what matters most.

You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are skilled at managing multiple priorities and stakeholders. You bring experience in program management, defense contracting, and cross-functional collaboration. Most importantly, you’re someone who takes ownership and gets things done.
