Job Description
WHO WE ARE:
The Skunk Works (Lockheed Martin Advanced Development Programs) is looking for world-class talent in Software Engineering to be a part of a team that will carry on our 80-year tradition-making history in advanced aircraft development. The vehicle management software team writes software for a wide range of aircraft subsystems that make an airplane fly. We are a highly innovative fast paced team working developing modular and reusable software to support both our current platforms and the aircraft of the future. We operate out of the Skunk Works headquarters in Palmdale, CA in a fully onsite and hands on team.
What’s In It For You
This team is working new development software where our team members get to work hands on from the lab to the aircraft in all stages of development, including design, code, integration, and lab and field test. We work on a wide range of technologies and give our team members the opportunity to drive their career towards their area of interest. You will work with a high performing and passionate team who are involved within the company as well as outside the organization. This positions offers meaningful and exciting technical work spanning both software development and supporting integration and test for a multi-site team.
Your Impact
You will be able to take your passion for software and avionics and your experience as an embedded software engineer and use it to help lead a team of Agile scrum teams to develop software for a wide range of aircraft systems supporting both rapid prototyping efforts and deliverable software.
The Responsibilities For This Role Will Include

• Lead a team of teams that are split geographically in the full software lifecycle development spanning across many avionics services, ground station development and mission system software technologies
• Technical execution of the current baseline work, managing risk, and removing blockers to ensure the team meets the program milestones.

• supporting ground station development for manned and unmanned systems
• coordinate and support integration and test events, collaborating across IPTs for software support.
• technical SME support for avionics subsystems
• communication up to program leadership on technical execution, issues, and status
• communication down to Agile/Scrum teams to execute the work

This position offers a motivated engineer the opportunity to have a high impact on a productive program as they grow their own skillset.
