Job Description

Description:
The coolest jobs on this planet or any other are with Lockheed Martin Space.
At the dawn of a new space age, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing people are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every single day we use our unique skills and experiences to create, design and build solutions to some of the worlds hardest engineering problems. Do you want to be part of a culture that inspires employees to think big, perform with excellence and build incredible products? We provide the resources, inspiration and focus - if you have the passion and courage to dream big, then we want to build a better tomorrow with you.

The Advanced Technology Center (ATC) is the research lab for Lockheed Martin Space. Through our own skills and those of our partnersincluding universities and research labs around the worldwe are able to put vision in motion. While we are a part of LM's space division, our technologies are far-reaching across domains. Napkin sketches of lasers that can shoot down UAVswe made it real. Changing molecules so metals behave differently? We invented that. ATCs story is written in the success of missions here on Earth and far, far into space. Our innovation extends beyond incremental change. We strive for first-of-a-kind capability with enduring impact. Whatever the application, our charter is to create game-changing technologies. At the ATC, we are inspiring change in our endless pursuit of what is next.
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.

To promote the sharing of ideas, Lockheed Martin fosters an inclusive work environment that encourages differences and big-picture thinking.
