Job Description

Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) Artificial Intelligence (AI) team is seeking motivated engineers with a strong background in software and systems architecture of artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions to support the RMS AI team and product portfolio.

• The RMS AI Engineering & Technology team is passionate about a broad range of projects from research & development to prototype development, culminating in deployment of our products to customers. We are on the cutting edge, inserting AI into defense systems, delivered through our AI Software Factory. This role will get a unique mix with research, prototype development, and software to hardware toolchain development all within the domain of AI / ML programs.
• The RMS AI team has an immediate opportunity for a dynamic, hardworking, motivated engineer who wants to join our team. If you have an interest and passion for making AI / ML real, come and be a part of our team. At Lockheed Martin, we are driven by innovation and integrity, and we are excited to bring cutting edge technology to our customers & their missions.
• This role is responsible for defining the architecture of AI / ML solutions for our customers technologies and products. This requires engagement in every phase of the system development lifecycle including: requirements generation, system and software design, implementation, integration & test, and verification & validation. Activities will range from low TRL research, development of prototypes, building demos, and transitioning to production. This role will be expected to provide architectural guidance on or across teams, inclusive of hardware, software, and systems and will make decisions on how solutions will be integrated to meet customer requirements. This requires both breadth and depth of expertise to create, recommend, and approve designs.
• This role is expected to have experience developing solutions with the latest in current AI paradigms, algorithms, and models (e.g. deep learning, reinforcement learning, computer vision); developing these techniques in relevant domains to tackle sophisticated problems and create innovative solutions. This role will be expected to assume technical lead responsibilities & lead teams, ensure standard methodologies, take ownership of critical tasks, and mentor junior engineers. This also requires a candidate to maintain awareness of emerging analytics, AI / ML, and domain-specific technologies. This role may be based at any RMS site, or remotely via telecommuting depending on program needs.
• In addition to the responsibilities highlighted above we offer extensive benefits to include competitive 401k and insurance. We remain an equal opportunity company.

Basic Qualifications:

• Experience developing and deploying AI/ML systems
• Experience developing software architectures (UML, microservices / services architectures, etc.)
• Experience and knowledge of systems engineering life cycle process and tools (e.g. Cameo, SysML, DOORs, model based systems engineering)
• DevOps experience including CI/CD pipelines to build, test, deploy
• Technical lead or leadership experience in software & systems architecture development
• Experience with software planning and execution throughout the requirements, development, design, build, test, and integration phases of a program & familiarity with transitioning prototype software to production, including rapid software prototyping experience to create minimal viable products for evaluation of options
• Experience with external, customer, and stakeholder communication
• Strong problem solving mindset: Ability to develop create solutions to difficult problems often requiring integration of conflicting and, at times, ambiguous or incomplete data on a fast-paced schedule
• Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate complex design information, technical decision and issues to both highly technical and non-technical peers
• Ability to build and maintain relationships, collaborate with others, engage in constructive conflict, and manage interpersonal dynamics
• Comfortable working in a fast paced and dynamic multi-disciplinary environment
