This role will focus on developing technologies and products that leverage software engineering and product knowledge to deliver differentiated capabilities across the enterprise and in the field.
The Work
Lead software development efforts across the full system development lifecycle, from requirements and design through development, integration, testing, and deployment.
Develop and integrate software solutions, APIs, and enterprise applications that address complex business and mission-critical problems.
Plan, coordinate, and execute software projects from initial design through testing, debugging, and production.
Translate user requirements into robust, scalable applications and develop logical and mathematical solutions through code.
Research emerging technologies, develop proof-of-concepts and prototypes, build demonstrators, and transition successful solutions into production.
Analyze system capabilities and requirements to resolve questions involving program intent, data acquisition, outputs, programming techniques, and system controls.
Provide technical leadership and take ownership of key development efforts, helping guide major projects to successful completion.
Apply established software engineering standards, processes, procedures, and tools throughout the development lifecycle.
Develop operating instructions and comprehensive technical documentation while ensuring solutions meet rigorous quality standards.
Collaborate effectively with team members and selected external contacts to support organizational projects and goals.
Who We Are
We are the Lockheed Martin Global Sustainment Information Systems and Innovation organization, focused on using software, technology, and innovation to solve complex problems across the enterprise.
Our teams operate in innovative and agile environments where we rapidly test ideas, mature promising technologies, and deliver solutions that provide meaningful capability to Lockheed Martin organizations and customers. We work across the entire lifecycle—from research and prototyping to integration, deployment, and sustainment.
Who You Are
You are a skilled software development engineer and technical leader with strong experience in software engineering, API development and integration, and enterprise-level products or applications.
You can take a complex problem or user requirement and turn it into a practical, reliable software solution. You are comfortable working across the full development lifecycle and have the technical depth to make sound decisions involving software, hardware infrastructure, and domain-specific applications.
You are also someone who can take ownership. As a Staff-level development lead, you will be expected to provide technical direction, lead significant development efforts, make strategic decisions, and help move projects from an idea or prototype into a production capability.
You should be comfortable working in an agile environment, solving complex problems, researching new technologies, and collaborating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Most importantly, you bring the judgment, technical expertise, and leadership needed to develop innovative solutions that make a real impact across the organization.
