Job Description

We are searching for a Research Software Engineer to join our extraordinary team.

In this role you will perform the research, design, development and verification of signal and image collection systems, and define and develop processing computer algorithms. You will design, develop and analyze systems and algorithms for the extraction of information from signal and image sensors. Technologies including real-time processing, detection and estimation theories, neural networks, and implementation of signal processing with advanced computer architectures will be applied to laser and other electro-optical systems for Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), directed energy weapons, navigation and proximity operations, or target tracking and identification. You will develop and improve algorithms and evaluate their performance using simulations and test data. You will participate in teams implementing the algorithms in hardware and conducting full-system, real-world demonstrations of capability.

You are someone who has strong analytic and communication skills and works well in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary environment. You will work part of the week at a field testing site and can work independently yet stay coordinated with the rest of the team.

Basic Qualifications:

• Strong Matlab programing skills

• Experience implementing software for scientific and/or real time image or signal processing applications

• Hands-on experience setting up and operating cameras or focal plane arrays

• US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance

Desired Skills:

• Experience and/or ability developing new technologies, driving from new concept formulation and development through to demonstration of the concept in prototype testing or field demonstration

• Experience configuring parameters and radiometric calibration of a camera or focal plane assembly (FPA)

Knowledge in one or more related technologies, and interest in learning about others, including:

o Data processing, including processing hardware and software, algorithm development, Monte Carlo simulations, analog signal processing, digital signal processing, image processing, 3D image rendering, or data fusion

o Algorithms, models, and simulations for passive and active imaging applications

o Target acquisition and tracking, and automatic target recognition (ATR) algorithms

About Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin Corporation is an American aerospace, defense, arms, security, and advanced technologies company with worldwide interests. It was formed by the merger of Lockheed Corporation with Martin Marietta in March 1995. It is headquartered in North Bethesda, Maryland, in the Washington, D.C., area. Lockheed Martin employs approximately 110,000 people worldwide as of January 2020. Lockheed Martin is one of the largest companies in the aerospace, military support, security, and technologies industry. It is the world's largest defense contractor, based on revenue for fiscal year 2014. In 2013, 78% of Lockheed Martin's revenues came from military sales; it topped the list of US federal government contractors and received nearly 10% of the funds paid out by the Pentagon. In 2009, US government contracts accounted for $38.4 billion, foreign government contracts for $5.8 billion, and commercial and other contracts for $900 million. Half of the company’s annual sales are to the U.S. Department of Defense. Lockheed Martin is also a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Lockheed Martin operates in four business segments: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control, Rotary and Mission Systems, and Space. The company has received the Collier Trophy six times, including in 2001 for being part of developing the X-35/F-35B LiftFan Propulsion System and most recently in 2018 for the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System. Lockheed Martin is currently developing the F-35 Lightning II and leads the international supply chain, leads the team for the development and implementation of technology solutions for the new USAF Space Fence, and is the primary contractor for the development of the Orion command module. The company also invests in healthcare systems, renewable energy systems, intelligent energy distribution, and compact nuclear fusion.
