Image Processing Engineer, Sr- Orlando, FL

About the Role

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. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is one of four Lockheed Martin business areas. By bringing together people that use their passion for purposeful innovation, at Lockheed Martin we keep people safe and solve the world's most complex challenges.

• 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.
• Participate in small teams of engineers and algorithm developers on programs at various stages of product development.
• Support program reviews and technical interchange meetings with internal leadership and/or external customers.

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

• BS in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, computer science, applied mathematics, or similar STEM degree and 3+ years of relevant experience.
• US Citizen with Interim Clearance at start.
• Fluent in MATLAB, Python, and C++.
• Experience solving problems and relevant algorithm development in resolved and unresolved target detection image processing, low signature target detection & automatic target recognition/identification, image correction algorithms, scene generation, and non‑uniformity correction.
• Exposure to electro‑optic phenomenology and optical system analysis as it applies to image/signal processing, and 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 validating C++ algorithm simulations and hardware models with real‑time data collections.

• Experience with linear algebra software packages.
• Strong programming skills that can 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.
• Active Secret Clearance.
