Lockheed Martin•Boulder, CO

1d•Onsite

About The Position

The Advanced Programs and Exploitation (APEX) team with Lockheed Martin in Boulder is looking for a Research Scientist Sr to support ongoing programs and internal research and development efforts. This role will be focused on mission processing applications of remote sensing payloads and measurement fusion of various data types. This position will work alongside research scientists, FPGA engineers, and software engineers on the team to research, develop, test, and deliver prototype and fully capable systems. This position will be expected to: participate in the development, integration, and enhancement of remote sensing processing and tracking algorithms and software. evaluate, refine, and develop tracking & image signal processing algorithms. help evolve ground-based mission processing applications of remote sensing payloads onto flight hardware for onboard mission processing operations. develop a thorough understanding of R&D mission processing code written in C++. add features to a complex legacy code base. develop models and detailed simulations to predict and assess system performance. contribute to simulation environments that support algorithm validation. possibly work on AI/ML algorithm applications. Applicants selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. This position is in beautiful Boulder, Colorado at our offices which have a collaborative and modern agile workspace.
