About the position

The Image Processing Engineer at Lockheed Martin will be responsible for designing, integrating, and testing Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) algorithms for missile and fire control products. This role involves developing complex models and simulations, evaluating system performance, and supporting ground and flight test efforts. The engineer will work closely with a skilled team to ensure the successful implementation of GNC solutions in various scenarios.

Responsibilities

• Design, integrate, and test GNC, tracking, and/or servo control algorithm solutions for missile and fire control products.
• Develop, verify, and validate complex models and simulations such as missile 6-degree-of-freedom simulations.
• Evaluate system performance in complex scenarios and environments and verify system and subsystem level requirements.
• Perform critical studies, analyses, and test activities.
• Support ground and flight test efforts including Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) activities.
• Support program reviews and technical interchange meetings with internal leadership and/or external customers.

Requirements

• MS degree in computer science, physics, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, or similar.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and analyze algorithms such as guidance, navigation, autopilot, inertial tracking, and servo control algorithms.
• Experience in developing and/or verifying complex vehicle models and simulations such as missile 6-degree-of-freedom simulations.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Matlab, and Python.
• Strong math skills in linear algebra, matrix math, statistics, trigonometry, and coordinate transformations.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience developing and analyzing algorithms related to signal/image processing.
• Proficiency with C++ programming, Matlab, Python, and Linux.
• Ability to perform preflight system performance assessment and post flight verification analyses.
• Experience designing and analyzing target tracking and terrestrial navigation systems.
• Experience with optimal state estimation filters such as extended Kalman filters (EKF).
• Demonstrated skills in probability, statistics, and Design of Experiments (DOE).
• Experience with Model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
• Experience deploying algorithms that satisfy real-time performance requirements.

Benefits

• Flexible work schedules including condensed work weeks.
• Paid Time Off benefits.
• Relocation assistance may be available.
