Digital Signal/Image Processing Engineer III

Lockheed Martin•Highlands Ranch, CO

19h•Onsite

About The Position

The Silicon Solutions team of Lockheed Martin Space is building the best SOC team in the world and are seeking a highly talented and strategically-thinking leader who has a passion for technology, project management and people. This position does not support teleworking; you will be located near our Lockheed Martin Space facility in Littleton CO and be expected to work a flexible 9x80 schedule in the office full-time. We are looking for a Signal Processing Engineer who has a background in Signal Processing algorithm development.

Requirements

Proven experience designing, debugging, and verifying digital signal processing algorithms.
US Citizenship is required.
You will need to obtain and maintain a DoD Top Secret clearance.
Bachelor of Science or higher from an accredited college in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent experience/combined education.
Proven experience designing, debugging, and verifying digital signal processing algorithms
Demonstrated success leading DSP focused projects or technical initiatives.

Nice To Haves

DSP Algorithm Implementation
Experience implementing mixers, resamplers, channelizers, digital upconverters (DUC), and digital downconverters (DDC) in ASIC, FPGA, or SOC/Versal/Polarfire devices.
Software Defined Radio (SDR) waveform and protocols
Ability to map algorithms to programmable logic, hard macros, or optimized software kernels.
Modeling & Simulation
Proficiency with MATLAB and/or C/C++ for signal chain modeling (filter design, FFT/IFFT, ADC/DAC, etc.).
Skilled at translating models into production ready, real-time code.
System Level Understanding
Knowledge of space system architectures, CONOPs, and requirements flow down.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and verify complex DSP blocks (mixers, re-samplers, channelizers, DUC/DDC, etc.) on embedded processors, ASICs, FPGAs, and Versal/Polarfire SOCs.
Serve as the technical authority for signal processing architecture, ensuring each block meets performance, power, and latency targets while satisfying overall system requirements.
Influence project planning, schedule, cost, and quality through technical risk assessment and mitigation.
Act as the primary technical liaison for multiple programs, translating high level mission needs into concrete signal processing implementations.
