Hey guys,

I was called by my recruiter and given a verbal offer this Thursday for a Systems Engineer II role in Tucson, and sent an email confirming I’d be receiving the offer. I was at work so I couldn’t stay on long enough to hear the full offer unfortunately. I’ve yet to receive an email with the formal offer letter. I’m not worried just yet since I interviewed and got the offer a day later, but seeing a lot of posts saying HR takes a significant amount of time to send it out for consideration. What should I expect? And how long should I prepare to wait before following up again?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

Looking for some insight from anyone familiar with Lockheed Martin Space hiring timelines or internal processes.

I recently completed a great interview earlier this week for an RF related Integration & Test Engineer II role in Colorado, and was told they were planning to interview one more candidate before making a decision within the next couple of weeks.

At the same time, I’ve been informed I’ll be receiving an offer from another defense contractor for a Systems Engineer II in Arizona in the next day or two, and I’ll likely need to make a decision within a few days of receiving it.

I’ve also already been in contact with the recruiter I worked with and sent a follow-up email to keep them updated on my situation.

My main question is:

- Is it realistic to expect Lockheed to accelerate a decision in this situation?
- Or is their process typically fixed enough that I should not rely on hearing back quickly, even after communicating my timeline?

I would prefer the Lockheed role as working in the space sector of defense is my dream, but trying to make a smart decision with limited time.

Appreciate any insight, especially from current or former employees.

Thanks
