Job Description

At Lockheed Martin we keep people safe and solve the world's most complex challenges. Our people are some of the greatest minds in the industry and truly make Lockheed Martin a great place to work. With our employees as our priority, we provide career opportunities designed to propel development and boost agility. Our flexible schedules, competitive pay, and comprehensive benefits enable our employees to live a healthy, fulfilling life at and outside of work. This is a place for engineers, scientists, and problem-solvers who are ready to engage deeply, think critically, and build with purpose. You will not just launch a career. You will be part of something bigger. This is where the best are built.

What We’re Doing

Lockheed Martin is shaping the future of military tactics and technology through advanced Operations Analysis (OA). Within the Rotary & Mission Systems (RMS) business area, the OA development team conducts studies and analyses across a wide range of operational scenarios the warfighter may face. These efforts identify capability gaps and propose innovative solutions that directly influence both customer strategies and Lockheed Martin’s long-term vision.

The Work

As a Software Engineer on the OA development team, you will focus on building the foundational components of virtual battlefield simulations. This includes developing new models and capabilities to support analysts, integrating diverse models and simulations, and enhancing existing tools. Much of this work is conducted using AFSIM (Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration & Modeling).
You will work in an Agile environment, collaborating closely with analysts and fellow developers to support studies that quantify the impact of new operational concepts (CONOPS), system design variants, payloads, weapons, tactics, and force size/mix on survivability and mission effectiveness. Opportunities exist to contribute to projects at both the RMS business area level and across the broader Lockheed Martin enterprise.

Who We Are

We are a collaborative, highly technical development team that values learning, innovation, and teamwork. Our engineers are passionate about solving complex problems, comfortable working in ambiguous environments, and motivated to explore new technologies. We work closely together to deliver high-impact solutions that support critical national defense missions.

Who You Are

You are a highly motivated Software Engineer with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You are comfortable working in a team-based, Agile environment and are eager to grow your technical expertise. You bring experience or proficiency in several of the following areas:
• BS from an accredited college in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or other relevant technical degree
• C++ and Python development
• Git-based version control
• Linux environments
You enjoy learning, thinking creatively and strategically, and applying engineering rigor to challenging problems. You are able to work with some oversight, help define sprint objectives, and contribute meaningfully to technical decision-making. Occasional travel to support cross–business area collaboration is expected.

Why Join Us
Joining the OA development team offers the opportunity to make a real impact on the future of military operations and technology. You will work on cutting-edge simulations and analyses, collaborate with talented engineers and analysts, and gain exposure to projects across multiple business areas. This role provides meaningful technical challenges, opportunities for professional growth, and the chance to contribute to missions that matter.

Basic Qualifications

-Bachelors degree from an accredited college in Engineering, Mathematics, Operations Research, or other technical degree

-Knowledge of C++, Python, Excel VBA and/or constructive simulation tools.

-Must be a US Citizen; this position will require a government security clearance. This position is located at a facility that requires special access.

Desired skills

Military operational experience
Modeling & Simulation and/or Cameo/System Modeling Language (SysML) experience
Familiarity/experience with Operations Analysis tools such as Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration and Mode
