Lockheed research in
numerical analysis
The first airframe manufacturer to order and receive a 701 digital
computer, Lockheed has now received a second 701
to handle a constantly increasing computing work load.
It gives Lockheed the largest installation of digital computing
machines in private industry.
Most of the work in process is classified. However, two significant
features to the career-minded Mathematical Analyst are: 1) the
wide variety of assignments caused by Lockheed’s diversification
and 2) the advanced nature of the work, which consists mainly
of developing new approaches to aeronautical problems.
Career Opportunities for Mathematical Analysts
Lockheed’s expanding development program in nuclear energy,
turbo-prop and jet transports, radar search planes, supersonic aircraft
and other classified projects has created a number of openings for
Mathematical Analysts to work on the 701’s.
Lockheed offers you attractive salaries; generous travel and moving
‘allowances; an opportunity to enjoy Southern California life; and an
extremely wide range of employee benefits which add approximately
14% to each engineer’s salary in the form of insurance,
retirement pension, sick leave with pay, etc.
Those interested are invited to write E. W. Des Lauriers for a brochure
describing life and work at Lockheed and an application form.

With just 2800 computers installed worldwide as of June 1955, accessing and using a device like the IBM 701 would have been a highly desirable job perk in itself.
