Job description

Job Description
Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more - we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.
At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We're creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We're erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We're advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we're reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.
Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.
We are on a journey to a permanent presence at the Moon and we're closer than ever. Lockheed Martin builds NASA's Orion spacecraft for the Artemis missions. Join a talented team of Orion engineers engaged in the design and fabrication of the only deep space, human-rated spacecraft that will take humans farther than we have ever gone before. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/orion
This opening is for a Hardware/Software Integration and Test Engineer for the NASA Orion Vehicle Program supporting Orion Software Integrated Product Team (IPT).
The core responsibility for this role will be to conduct complex mission and function testing of the most advanced spacecraft ever built. Team members will leverage development tools and environments to push the software to the bounds of operations to drive out issues ensuring crew safety and mission success. Team members will be able to operate multiple Orion Test Labs for testing, running scripts in a simulated environment, before moving into higher fidelity labs to test with hardware in the loop and run mission specific test scenarios. Team members on the integration team are highly critical to the successful delivery of formal software builds and must have a go-getter attitude and be able to run issues to ground across multiple hardware, software, test and development teams.
Familiarity with both Linux and Windows systems is a must. Familiarity with the software development cycle and good coding standards is highly desired. Familiarity with real time embedded programming, and model driven development is a plus. Background in Agile methodologies is desired.
Candidate must have excellent oral and written communication skills, attention to details required to delivery flight ready products, and an ability to work effectively in a rapid paced, team environment. In this role, you will be working in the development and test of software in a collaborative team environment.
This role will require some shift work in the evenings or weekends at times, but has general flexibility in fulfilling the 40-hour work week (e.g. working second shift excuses you from normal business day hours). Full time on-site work is required, but some of this role is able to be performed remotely, and flexibility for some remote work is acceptable upon coordination with management.
Basic Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or closely related technical field with 2 years of software engineering/development experience or a Master's degree.
• Experience testing integrated hardware and software in a lab or simulated environment is required
• Test case, procedure development, and execution experience
• Experience with software integration and debugging techniques
• Linux / Unix experience
• Experience with Software Configuration Management tools (such as Perforce, GIT, or equivalent)
• Experience with Python or a similar scripting language is required
Desired skills
• A demonstrated interest and ability to learn new tools and technologies and leverage those to successfully complete projects in a timely manner is required.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly and effectively both verbally and in writing is required.
• The ability to work well in a team environment and independently is required.
• Green Hills Integrity / Embedded programming a plus
• VxWorks programming experience a plus
• Experience with L2 and L3 network protocols, development, configuration and HW/SW integration a plus
• Familiar in Object Oriented Software Design is a plus
• Proficiency with C / C++ is a plus
• Experience in, or desire to learn about, spacecraft avionics design and development, C&DH, GN&C, COMM and Instrumentation, Propulsion, Electrical Power Systems, Automated mission sequencing, and Fault Management is a plus
• General Orion experience or knowledge a plus
