Job Description

Who we are:
The Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) is a Lockheed Martin applied research and development center. Aligned with the Corporation's Chief Technology Officer, we work to advance scientific discovery and technology transition in human systems, robotics and autonomy, spectrum systems, data analytics and more!

What we do:
Spectrum Systems Lab (SSL) Engineers are hardworking problem solvers with an ability to learn and think creatively! We combine diverse skillsets and backgrounds to deliver groundbreaking technology to our customers, community, and company. We support research and technology development for projects funded externally and internally helping advance the state-of-the-art for Defense and prepare our customers and Lockheed Martin to be ahead of ready.

What you'll do:
Are you a skilled AI/ML engineer with the flexibility to incorporate and apply cutting edge research into a variety of problems? As an engineer in our SSL team, you have the opportunity to design new algorithms and toolsets to address spectrum challenges, augment existing solutions with data-driven ML approaches, and integrate best practice ML Operations into an end-to-end architecture for our customers and stakeholders. We pride ourselves in the flexibility we give to our engineers to pursue research that is of interest to them and give opportunities for engineers to grow and learn about what others in the lab are doing.

Based on our current needs, your skills and the skills you wish to acquire, you could be tasked with any of the following:
Architecting and implementing data engineering pipelines in support of automated analysis of machine learning, sensor processing, and target tracking research prototypes over large data sets.
Designing, coding and testing of cognitive software and systems for digital and RF/analog advanced state-of-the-art receivers, transmitters, antennas, and jam and anti-jam systems.
Lead and/or support research projects to innovate and provide novel state of the art solutions in areas such as parameter estimation, reinforcement learning, and generative AI.
Assist in the acquisition of new business through proposing modern-day solutions to our customer's problems and advocating for the robustness, explainability, and generalizability of AI/ML solutions.

Basic Qualifications

PhD, MS, or BS from an accredited university in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field with appropriate experience or course work
At least 5 years of experience in AI/ML research, software and/or embedded design, development and testing or related field.
