Job Description

Description:Yes, we do Cyber! Formed in 2004 by a group of multi disciplined engineers and applied researchers, the Advanced Concepts Laboratory’s (ACL) team of world class talent has been advancing the state of the art in cyber capabilities for DoD and IC customers. Our Information Operations (IO) and Computer Network Operations (CNO) technologies provide our customers with leap ahead capabilities that enable them to attack some of our nation’s most difficult problems.

Cyber is an evolutionary domain and ACL is on the revolutionary edge. We’re a team that’s passionate about Cyber and singularly adept at solving its hardest problems. Do you enjoy tackling problems whose solutions aren’t obvious? Is the idea of building an operational capability exciting? Do you thrive in an open, collaborative environment? If any of these are true, we’d love the opportunity to talk to you!

The development of cyber capabilities relies upon a wide variety of skills and expertise. If you have passion for Firmware or Kernel level development, OS/Network/Application design or vulnerability and malware analysis, Reverse Engineering, or IO and CNO technology development, you may be a great candidate to join our growing team. If you have strong software development skills in C, C++, and Python, experience with debuggers like gdb, Valgrind, windbg, understand network protocols and inter process communication, and are capable of executing guided research tasks, we would like to explore your interest in joining us on our extraordinary journey.

If selected, you will become a member of a world class team of applied researchers and engineers that contributes to beyond state of the art customer and internally funded R&D.

All ACL team members are eligible for participation in a Lockheed Martin Incentive Plan.

Basic Qualifications:

B.S. degree in technical fields of study such as Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Security – or equivalent applied experience.

• C, C++, Python software development
• Networking protocols and socket application development
• Debugging (e.g gdb, windbg, OllyDbg, Valgrind)
• Guided technical research explorations
• Eligible for Top Secret clearance

Team members are subject to a government security investigation and must meet and maintain eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Desired Skills:

Developing cyber capabilities requires a broad spectrum of experience.
