About The Position

Lockheed Martin is leading the way in hypersonic missile development and we want you to be a part of it! We are creating the first hypersonic boost/glide system for the US Army and Navy here on the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) program, and our NGC-SW Integrated Product Team (IPT) is responsible for the algorithms and software that control it. Our group includes the Navigation, Guidance, and Control (NG&C or GN&C) subsystem, which flies the missile and glide body, and the embedded Flight Software (FSW) which hosts the NG&C algorithms and provides health, status, and sequencing for the entire system. Additionally, we develop and maintain the Flight Software testbeds (HILs or HWILs) which provide complete hardware integration testing with feedback and flight simulation to test the NG&C algorithms and flight software. Lockheed Martin Space is seeking a full time Senior Software Engineer. In this role, you will support the software engineering lifecycle following the program Software Development Plan (SDP) to include requirements analysis, object oriented analysis & design, code & unit test, integration, and support to formal test/delivery for the NG&C and flight software products. This is a crucial role combining a systems-thinking mindset with solid problem-solving and planning skills. If building cutting-edge hypersonic systems sounds exciting to you and you are looking to expand your systems engineering and leadership skills then we hope you will consider applying. We are looking for an senior software engineer with a proven technical background in Systems, GN&C, or Software who wants to further their systems engineering abilities; applying a systems thinking mindset to translate customer needs into an implementable solution; support flight integration and system deliveries. This role is critical to ensure all aspects, from customer use-cases to test requirements, are coordinated across stakeholders and incorporated into the long-term plan.
