Job ID: 682879BR Date posted: Dec. 11, 2024
Description:Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company and its research and development line-of-business, The Skunk Works, seeks a motivated and experienced candidate to join the Low Observables team (Signature Management & Survivability).

What You Will Be Doing
Specifically, we seek to identify a candidate with expertise in the following disciplines:
- Aircraft stealth signature reduction and low observables (LO) phenomenology
- Infrared (IR) susceptibility
- Electromagnetics (EM), computational electromagnetics (CEM), IR metamaterial design, solid-state physics, photonics, and/or optics
- LO project/program management
Typical responsibilities may include:
- Responsible for performing, analyzing, and communicating vehicle signature predictions using Unix-based codes and tools. Excels in the field of EO/IR raytrace, Monte Carlo, CEM, method of moments (MoM), and geometric/physical optics.
- Responsible for laboratory measurements of material coupons to determine physical, optical, electrical, and/or environmental properties.
- Responsible for the design, prototyping, and test of advanced infrared materials, coatings, treatments, and hardware components.
- Engagement in the research, design, computational electromagnetic modeling, fabricating, and testing of advanced infrared or visual metamaterials.
- Responsible for planning, performing, post-processing, and communicating the results of laboratory, field, flight, and vehicle signature measurements.
- Engagement in the algorithm development, test, and maintenance of signature prediction tools using C++, Java, and Fortran.

A Security Clearance will be required for those that apply and the candidate must ultimately qualify for a Top Secret clearance. Candidate must be a US Citizen as this position is located at a facility that requires special access. The position requires strong verbal and written communication skills for final reports and technical briefings to large groups. Candidate should or will develop experience in customer/client interaction and preparing successful technical proposals. Ability to perceive customer needs, develop a compelling technical approach to meeting those needs, clearly and concisely describe a plan for implementing the technical approach, and provide reasonable cost/schedule estimates for the work required. The candidate will be expected to develop and execute R&D plans to meet needs defined by management or by the customer.
