Job Description
WHAT WE'RE DOING
Define the future of aviation. Stand at the forefront of technology and innovation. Transform your ideas and dreams into reality. Join Lockheed Martin's Flight Controls and Autonomy team and be part of the greatest transformation in aviation history; unmanned fully autonomous flight.
The Flight Controls and Autonomy team is currently seeking highly motivated technology pioneers with a desire to steer and lead the Autonomy industry. Successful candidates must be willing and able to work on highly complex complicated problems, leading to world-changing technological breakthroughs.
The team's technical areas of emphasis include Fly-By-Wire Flight Control Systems, Guidance/Navigation & Control (GNC), Flight Test, Autonomy, Aviation Robotics, Perception, AI, and Motion Planning.
THE WORK
In this role, the candidate will work with a team to build novel software architectures, algorithms, and tools for modeling the environment. This model representation fuses a-priori information (terrain, towers, airspaces) with real-time sensor data. The model representation is tightly integrated into aircraft motion planning to deliver a safe and smooth path for the aircraft. Other responsibilities include the development of databases and analytics tools to enable collection and processing of very large terrain and point cloud based data sets.
The candidate shall have a background and applied expertise in autonomous systems perception including computer vision, mapping, object detection, semantic segmentation, classification, camera/lidar calibration, and point cloud processing. Strong knowledge of the state-of-the-art research and emerging technology in perception, including various sensors. Strong applied background in working with system with multiple perception sensors including cameras, Lidars, and Radar as well as sensor fusion algorithms.
The candidate shall have expertise in autonomous systems motion planning and trajectory optimization including search-based and sample based planning algorithms. Strong applied background in motion planning with kinodynamic constraints in cluttered environments in 3-dimension. Kowledge of the state-of-the-art research and emerging technology in motion planning for systems with kinodynamic constraints
The candidate shall have the ability to rapidly prototype innovative perception and motion algorithms and transition them to flight test. Collaborate with other researchers and engineers across the autonomy and flight controls team. Support various programs to develop autonomy including software development, test, system integration and flight tests. The candidate shall have strong coding skills in C/C++, Python, and MATLAB.
This position is based in Stratford, CT.
