Image Processing Engineer Orlando, FL

Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 114,000 people worldwide and engages in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is one of four Lockheed Martin business areas.

• Design, develop, and deploy embedded algorithms that support unresolved (point‑source) and resolved target detection and tracking.
• Develop, verify, and validate complex models and simulations that utilize match filters, convolutional neural networks, and other techniques to detect targets of interest.
• Evaluate system performance in complex scenarios and environments and verify system and subsystem level requirements.
• Perform critical studies, analyses, and test activities that support ground and flight test efforts, including Hardware‑In‑The‑Loop (HWIL) activities.
• Join small teams of engineers and algorithm developers on a variety of programs at different stages of product development.
• Support program reviews and technical interchange meetings with internal leadership and/or external customers.

• BS in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, computer science, applied mathematics, or a similar STEM degree.
• Fluent in MATLAB, Python, and C++.
• Experience solving problems and developing relevant algorithms in the following areas: resolved and unresolved target detection image processing; low‑signature target detection & automatic target recognition/identification; image correction algorithms, scene generation, and non‑uniformity correction; hyperspectral image processing techniques.
• Exposure to electro‑optic phenomenology and optical system analysis as it applies to image/signal processing and/or general knowledge of detection and image tracking technologies.
• Experience implementing and debugging image processing algorithms in real‑time environments and processing instrumented real‑time system data.
• Proficiency in developing and validating C++ algorithm simulations and hardware models with real‑time data collections.

• Experience with linear‑algebra software packages.
• Strong programming skills that translate to C++ development in a Linux environment.
• Experience deploying algorithms that satisfy real‑time performance requirements.
• Knowledge of electro‑optical/infrared detection technology, optics, and principles of radiometry.
• Familiarity with clutter rejection techniques.
• Knowledge and experience with modelling and simulation of EOIR systems.
• Familiarity with deployable AI/ML topologies as they relate to target detection.
