Lockheed Martin opens cyber facility in San&nbspAntonio
Lockheed Martin has officially opened the doors to its newest cyber facility located at Port San Antonio's Project Tech complex with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house.
Since the Company's decision eight months ago to lease the 15,000 square feet office, the building has been transformed into secure workspace, including labs to develop new cyber tools and platforms.
Over the course of the next five years, Lockheed Martin will look to hire more than 100 cyber professionals in the San Antonio area to meet the growing demand, including software and systems engineers, cyber architects and intelligence analysts
While the virtual nature of cyber work allows employees to work anywhere, Lockheed Martin chose Project Tech's due to its proximity to the Department of Defense and intelligence communities.
Jon Rambeau, Vice President and General Manager of Lockheed Martin's C6ISR division within Rotary and Mission Systems, said: "Because of the continuously evolving cyber threat, we've seen an increase in demand for relevant services and technologies.
"So much so that we recently expanded our cyber business to comprise not one, but now two market segments – Cyber Solutions and Spectrum Convergence – both of which will have teams doing work at the new facility."
