Specifically, we seek to identify a candidate with expertise in the following disciplines:- Processing of measured and simulated EO/IR data- Aircraft stealth signature reduction and low observables (LO) phenomenology- Infrared (IR) susceptibility- Electromagnetics (EM), computational electromagnetics (CEM)- Electromagnetics (EM), computational electromagnetics (CEM), IR metamaterial design, solid-state physics, photonics, and/or optics- LO project/program management- development of advanced IR materials and sensorA Security Clearance will be required for those that apply and the candidate must ultimately qualify for a Top Secret clearance. Candidate must be a US Citizen as this position is located at a facility that requires special access.The candidate will be working in a high-paced environment responsible for infrared susceptibility and low observable technology maturation lifecycle from initial concept, internal research and development (IRAD) project execution, modeling and simulation, prototype build and test, external customer communication and marketing, proposal and contract capture, contract research and development (CRAD) leadership, and transition to production fleet. The candidate will work independently and in small teams and participate in Government forums and internal Skunk Works program reviews as an LO signature advisor and IR materials subject matter expert.Performs scientific experiments, investigations, observations and related research studies into the nature and operation of natural phenomena in a particular field, using the scientific methods. Develops theories for understanding, characterizing and organizing natural phenomena into a systematic and meaningful pattern for the benefit of project advancement and emerging technologies. May participate in intellectual property evaluations and development of patent applications. May coordinate interdepartmental activities and research efforts.Basic QualificationsBachelor’s degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Computer Engineering,Physics, Optics, PhotonicsExperience in IR, optics, photonics, CEM, RF, or electromagneticsU.S. Citizenship RequiredActive DoD Secret Clearance or higherAbility to obtain and maintain DoD Top Secret Security ClearanceDesired SkillsMaster’s degree or above in one of the following fields: Engineering, Physics, Materials, Optics, or PhotonicsPrevious experience in low observables (LO), survivability, or susceptibilityExperience in infrared (IR) signature, Infrared Search and Track (IRST), IR cameras/sensors, radar cross section (RCS), or radio-frequency (RF) antenna designExperience leading IRAD/CRAD projects and managing multi‑disciplinary teamsExpertise in LO modeling and predictions: Computational electromagnetics (CEM), Hybrid Finite Element, Boundary Integral method (FE-BI), Method of Moments (MoM), HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, FDTD, EO/IRExperience with LO integration / multi-discipline air vehicle systems designKnowledge of RADAR, RF materials, RF material measurementsCultivation, pursuit, capture, project or program management, and execution of signature technology IRAD & CRAD projectsProgramming with C/C++, Java, Fortran, Matlab, PythonCAD software literacy for model cleanup and meshingPay InformationFull-Time Salary Range: $148300.00 - $275500.00At Lockheed Martin, we know mission success starts with taking care of our people.
