GIS Job Opportunities

Congratulations to rising senior and GIS Student Assistant Darin Rockwell, Geography/Geology ’13, for landing a very competitive GIS internship for summer 2012 with Lockheed Martin. Currently ranked #58 on the Fortune 500 list, Lockheed Martin is a

global security and aerospace company that employs about 123,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. 

GIS is integrated across Lockheed Martin’s operations and the company recently joined the ESRI Partner Network in order to 

collaborate [with ESRI] on technologies to put online geospatial apps and services in the hands of more military, intelligence, homeland security and emergency response users worldwide…  Lockheed Martin and Esri have previously worked together on several geospatial-intelligence programs for the U.S. Government and international customers. The companies will continue to collaborate on future geospatial opportunities for global customers, with a focus on enterprise GIS solutions that connect desktop and mobile users across a range of devices with a secure worldwide network.

Hopefully at some point this summer we’ll be able to get a guest blog post from Darin about his internship (assuming of course he’s allowed to talk about it!).
