Advanced Algorithm Developer - Inertial Tracking

Description: At Lockheed Martin, we apply our passion for purposeful innovation to keep people safe and solve the world's most complex challenges.

We are seeking an experienced engineer to develop inertial tracking algorithms for one of our fire control product lines. The inertial tracking algorithm development areas include extended and unscented Kalman filtering, non-linear state estimation, Gaussian mixture models, information filtering, particle filtering, multi-hypothesis tracking, Bayesian inference, multi-sensor fusion, passive sensing and stereo tracking, angle-only tracking, feature-aided tracking, image tracking, integrated multi-model tracking, low-SNR target tracking, inertial attitude and line-of-sight estimation, contextual data fusion, scene-based event detection, supervised and unsupervised machine learning, object classification, kinematic and radiometric feature estimation, hypothesis testing, and Monte Carlo methods.

What You Will Be Doing

In addition to algorithm development, this engineer may be responsible for the development of complex models and simulations, evaluation of system performance in complex scenarios and environments, and the verification of system and subsystem level requirements.

You should be comfortable developing and presenting technical material to internal leadership and external customers.

You must be a highly motivated, self-starter who is comfortable multi-tasking across a number of programmatic and technical responsibilities.

The candidate should be capable of working in a collegial team environment among subject matter experts coming from a variety of academic backgrounds.

You should also desire to work towards becoming a technical subject matter expert in algorithm development.
