Remote Sensing is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to guide a team through developing complex Payload Flight Software (PLSW) at Lockheed Martin Space. The selected candidate will work as an embedded, real‑time PLSW development and integration engineer. The next‑generation payload flight software development and deployment will use modern architectural concepts, model‑based methodologies and software tool chains to deploy to mission‑critical code to existing single‑core processors.

This person will be responsible for developing software for real time control and interaction with hardware and software subsystems and testing in a software‑only and hardware/software environments, including execution of integration tests to validate hardware‑to‑software interfaces, software‑to‑software interfaces, and functionality. The job responsibilities include analysing the hardware, software, and system requirements and implementation; developing and testing code utilizing Model Based Design approaches;

establishing development and test tools; identifying and resolving anomalies during test on various software‑ and system‑level platforms; identifying and implementing required software modifications and participating in technical reviews/audits of software products. The candidate will primarily provide hands‑on design, development and integration efforts along with performing software engineering in all phases of the software lifecycle following the program Software Development Plan (SDP).

The candidate will also participate in major program reviews and potentially provide formal program briefings to government customers. They will participate in interface working groups with the hardware development team as well as host to payload that may include the customer.
