E1074:
Software Engineer Staff

We are Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Engineering and Technology is the place to continue your career in Software Engineering! From designing, developing, integrating, simulating, deploying and flight testing, our Software Engineers provide leading‑edge systems and open system architectures that enable our war fighters to dominate across the globe.

In Advanced Development Programs/Skunk Works, our people are motivated, problem‑solving, deep thinkers who are empowered to attack and address the challenges that our armed services pilots encounter in the field. Our Agile, Dev Sec Ops  approach enables our teams to pivot quickly as the needs of our customers morph and evolve. We move fast; we enjoy autonomy, we deliver undisputed quality;

and we expect impactful contributions from our teammates accomplished via advanced, ethical behaviors.

Your Impact:
As the SW lead of the System of Systems team, you will have the opportunity to lead the work to adapt a variety of different military systems and learn state‑of‑the‑art middleware technology developed at DARPA called System‑of‑Systems Technology Integration Tool Chain for Heterogeneous Electronic Systems (STITCHES) Warfighter Application. This tool enables military systems to share battlespace information like never before to meet current and future threats.

As SW lead you will be responsible for directing the work in an Agile environment for a team of SW engineers, driving technical solutions for complex SW and weapon systems problems, and supporting other team members through the software lifecycle phases on the many projects this team executes during the year.

The candidate’s responsibilities include managing the architecture, design, implementation, configuration management, and troubleshooting of services, executing troubleshooting skills to meet stability objectives, establishing and enforcing strong software architectural principles—including modularity, flexibility, and extensibility—and developing next‑generation software. They will participate in end‑to‑end integration activities, analyze user requirements, and implement algorithms to meet system performance and functional standards.

The ideal candidate will possess extensive practical experience in software development, deep knowledge of software design principles and architecture styles, strong coding and technical skills, and excellent communication, problem‑solving, and leadership abilities. They will oversee software development teams, recommend new technologies and processes, and ensure quality control of all developed and modified software, demonstrating a commitment to delivering high‑quality solutions and driving technical excellence.

If you’re up for an ultra‑fast‑paced, something‑new‑every‑day, short deadline‑driven, self‑directed, empowered, team environment, join us for your next step in Software Engineering. We will push you to improve, challenge you every day to exceed expectations and provide you with the infrastructure and support to meet, and likely exceed, those expectations.
