Job Description Software Engineer (Target Tracking) - ATL / Hybrid / Cherry Hill NJLockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) is an applied R&D center driving breakthroughs in autonomy, robotics, AI, command & control, human‑machine symbiosis, spectrum operations, hypersonics, and cyber.

ATL's Spectrum Systems Laboratory (SSL) is seeking a junior Software Engineer with a foundation in multi-target tracking, estimation theory, sensor/data fusion, signal processing, or software development.

What You Will Be Doing:

In this role, you will contribute to the design, implementation, testing, and evaluation of algorithms and software for detecting, associating, and tracking multiple targets in complex environments across advanced sensing and electronic-warfare (EW) systems. You will also have the flexibility to explore research topics of interest and learn from peers across the lab. Your daily work will adapt to the evolving needs of our programs, allowing you to grow your skill set and directly impact cutting‑edge projects that support both commercial and military platforms.

Key responsibilities will include the following:

Developing, testing, and evaluating Python-based algorithms and software for multi-target tracking, localization, state estimation, and sensor/data fusion.

Applying filtering, inference, data-association, and signal-processing techniques to recorded and simulated sensor data.

Building simulation environments, data-processing pipelines, analysis tools, and performance-evaluation workflows for complex sensing applications.

Integrating prototype algorithms into scalable, maintainable software and larger sensor-system architectures, including CI/CD and Dev Sec Ops  practices.

Analyzing, debugging, and optimizing tracking software and data-engineering workflows for large-scale sensor-processing and machine-learning data sets.

Collaborating with researchers, engineers, and domain experts to advance technical solutions, conduct peer reviews, and document designs and results.

Supporting research, customer-focused technical solutions, technical briefings, and proof-of-concept demonstrations for emerging tracking challenges.
