Applications Engineer Sr - Level 3

Job Description

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Marietta, Georgia is looking for a Level 3 Full-Stack Applications Engineer to power the digital backbone of the C-130 Hercules and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter assembly and test facility. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll build modern, scalable web apps with React, Angular, .NET Core, Node.js, Docker/Kubernetes, and cloud services, turning complex production data into intuitive interfaces that streamline workflows and boost efficiency.

In this role you will:
1. Develop, test, deploy and support full-stack applications that enable production operations use cases.
2. Design data pipelines and database solutions to integrate manufacturing systems and automate workflow processes.
3. Build full-stack web applications to streamline data collection and management across production systems.
4. Create real-time dashboards and data visualizations that enable leadership and floor supervisors to make informed decisions.

This role involves directly interfacing with technical and non-technical users to truly understand their needs and then rapidly iterating to develop an application that they will love to use. This position is located at a facility that requires special access.

Eligibility for a U.S. security clearance and a clean background check in accordance with Defense Contractor requirements.
