I applied online. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Fort Worth, TX) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview process was only STAR method- questions of how you would handle certain situations. There was no technical parts, nothing that tested actual capacity, they just look for buzz words and ask you generalized questions to see if you can work in the job to a basic extent- effectively they look more heavily at resume than character or capacity.

Standard star interview with how you handle situations with no trick questions. The panel interview went over my resume and discussed each bullet. They also asked about my manufacturing experience in my past job and how those skills can be applied to that site.
Very straightforward, mostly behavioral questions. Prepare some stories to relate to the questions asked by the interviewers. Basic zoom panel interview each interviewer will be asking a questions. Prepare as much as possible.
