Software​/FPGA Engineer

Description: The Skunk Works (Lockheed Martin Advanced Development Programs) is looking for world‑class talent in Software Engineering to be a part of a team that will carry on our 75‑year tradition‑making history in advanced aircraft development. The vehicle management software team is looking for an experienced software engineer with experience in FPGA development and software integration to contribute to new development designed to fly both our current platforms and the aircraft of the future.

In this highly impactful role as a Software Engineer, your responsibilities will span the technology development lifecycle, from software/system definition and design, through implementation and flight test. Your experience in C/C++ software for embedded systems and FPGA cores will benefit you as you assist in maintaining and developing custom FPGAs and software applications for embedded systems implementations. With your background in test software and python development, you may be sought after for ingenious solutions to complex problems while also guiding and mentoring junior engineers.
