Description:What We're Doing:

At Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS), we are driven by innovation and integrity. We believe that by applying the highest standards of business ethics and visionary thinking, everything is within our reach - and yours as a Lockheed Martin employee. Lockheed Martin values your skills, training and education. We are a dynamic team on a recurring multi- year, critical program seeking a Software Engineer who likes to be challenged and solve problems.

Who We Are:

Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR): Harnessing the power of data collection and analysis across air, land, sea and space, thousands of sensors onboard manned and unmanned military platforms are collecting huge amounts of data. These ISR systems task, collect, process, analyze, fuse and disseminate the most mission-critical information.

What You Will Be Doing

As a Software Engineer you will own the full software lifecycle for advanced Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) and Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) solutions, delivering secure, scalable, and AI‑enhanced applications that run in Kubernetes‑based hub environments.

• Gather & Translate Requirements- Work with system architects to define functional and non functional needs for ISR/ELINT processing, then produce system and software designs that satisfy strict performance and security criteria.
• Design & Implement Cloud Native Services- Build micro services that ingest, fuse, and analyze multi sensor data (signals, RF bursts), defining clear APIs, data contracts, and service boundaries to support real time and batch workloads.
• Enhance with AI/ML - Integrate machine learning models for anomaly detection, target classification, and predictive analytics; create pipelines for model training, versioning, and serving within the hub.
• Containerize & Secure Applications- Author efficient Dockerfiles, produce minimal images, and run automated vulnerability scans; enforce security best practices.
• Deploy with Helm- Create and maintain Helm charts or Kustomize overlays for deployments, services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and ingress resources across development, test, and production clusters.
• Optimize Performance & Scalability- Conduct load testing on high throughput data streams and refine resource requests/limits for cost effective scaling during peak collection periods.
• Maintain Quality & Standards- Ensure compliance with software engineering standards, review change requests, participate in code reviews, stand ups, and post mortems, and keep specifications, API docs, and data flow diagrams current.
• Collaborate on Integration Activities- Work with customers and attend lab integration events to verify functionality, perform on site system validation, and ensure seamless integration of the hub with existing ISR/ELINT infrastructures.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or a related field
• Proven software development experience in Python, Go, C++, Java, or other OOP languages
• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance before start and willingness to obtain TS/SCI clearance
• Familiarity with the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
• Experience working in Agile environments (Scrum/Kanban)
• Proficiency with version‑control and collaboration tools (e.g., Git, GitLab, Jira, Confluence) to ensure subsystem interoperability
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object‑oriented design principles
• Experience with automated testing and continuous integration (unit tests, CI pipelines)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective teamwork and documentation
• Problem‑solving mindset and ability to work independently
• Ability to support some business travel to customer sites

Desired Skills:

• Results‑driven problem solving and out‑of‑the‑box thinking
• Experience with Services, Micro‑services, Software Factories, Cloud‑native and Service‑Oriented Architectures
• Proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Java (including signal‑processing or user‑application libraries)
• Hands‑on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm/Kustomize
• Strong background in CI/CD tooling (Git, GitLab, Jenkins) and automated testing frameworks
• Test‑driven development, continuous integration, and regression testing expertise
• Cybersecurity knowledge for software products (user authentication, data encryption) and secure development handling classified information (Secret/TS/SCI)
• Active TS/SCI clearance
• Excellent written, verbal, and analytical communication skills for teamwork and customer integration
• Familiarity with ISR/ELINT concepts (sensor fusion, RF signal intelligence, geolocation, spectrum analysis)
