Description:What if the next leap in air dominance doesn’t come from a single breakthrough, but from hundreds of smarter decisions, made faster, across engineering, testing, and operations?
At Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, our Aero AI team builds trusted artificial intelligence that strengthens deterrence, accelerates engineering insight, and directly supports the warfighter. We don’t chase AI for its own sake. We apply it deliberately, where it meaningfully improves performance, survivability, and decision advantage.
We are looking for an AI/ML Product Owner who can translate data‑driven insights into high‑impact products that meet the stringent security, compliance, and performance expectations of military and intelligence‑community customers.
You will be the voice of the product—defining strategy, building roadmaps, and delivering AI‑enabled capabilities. Your work will span the full product lifecycle, from market research and requirement definition through agile delivery, launch, and continuous improvement.
You will partner with cross‑functional stakeholders (engineering, data science, operations, legal, senior leadership, and external customers) to:
-Turn technical AI/ML insights into real product value
-Navigate the security and compliance landscape of the Department of Defense, intelligence community, and other mission‑critical agencies.
-Champion our products internally and externally, balancing business goals, user needs, and revenue objectives.
