Electro-Optical Sr Engineer -Orlando

Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 114,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services.

At Lockheed Martin, we apply our passion for purposeful innovation to keep people safe and solve the world’s most complex challenges.

• Your skill set should include physics‑based modeling, FLIR characterizations, image processing and/or algorithm development.
• The EO Engineer must understand the sensitivities associated with the various parts of the imaging chain to quickly and effectively perform system design trades.
• Must be willing to increase technical depth and breadth in EO as a path toward becoming a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
• Must be willing to mentor junior EO engineers and potentially teach a technical course on an EO specialty once the EO Engineer achieves expertise in that specialty.
• Although this is a technical contributor role, the EO Engineer must be able to communicate analysis at the appropriate level to a diverse audience including other technical experts, customers, and senior management.
• Experience with CAMEO and MBSE is a plus and an understanding of modern U.S. defense systems specifically focused on EO/IR and laser systems is a plus.

We are committed to supporting your work‑life balance and overall well‑being, offering flexible scheduling options.

This position is in Orlando.

• BSEE or another STEM degree and at least 3 years of related experience.
• Interim clearance is required to start this position; therefore you must be a U.S. citizen.
• Candidate must demonstrate the ability to perform one or more of the following electro‑optical engineering assignments:
• Demonstrate knowledge or experience of EO systems consisting of advanced optical/infrared material and coatings.
• Demonstrate experience with EO systems consisting of state‑of‑the‑art sensors and advanced laser systems.
• Demonstrate knowledge or experience in radiometric EO analysis and simulation.
• Perform design and analysis of EO candidate systems for both ground and airborne sensor suite applications.
• Demonstrate the ability to utilize MATLAB when running EO performance analysis simulations or developing target models.
• Conduct parametric studies to support advanced EO targeting sensor and seeker development.
• Model design solutions that can be fabricated for laboratory test and characterization prior to development.

• Experience with IR systems trades, performance analysis, traceability/performance link budgets.
• Knowledge of industry tools: SPIRITS, MODTRAN6, COAST, MATLAB.
• Characterization of IR cameras (NEDT, NEI, EE), measurement of TPMs, and designing test procedures.
• Modeling threat signatures given GFI data, or modeling parameters/engagement descriptions such as source radiant intensity, contrast radiant intensity at range.
• System‑level modeling experience – integration with pointing systems, LOS accuracy, algorithm performance budgets, requirements/digital engineering.

Active Secret Clearance. This position requires a government security clearance; you must be a U.S. citizen for consideration.
