🚀 Embedded Cyber Software Engineer

Overview

Embedded Cyber Software Engineer role at Lockheed Martin. You will be part of a research and development team responsible for investigating and exploiting the newest technological advances to resolve complex problems.

What You Will Be Doing

• Craft innovative solutions to complex cyber software engineering problems, collaborating closely with customers throughout the development life-cycle, and contributing to a dynamic, fast-paced team environment.
• Research and develop new software and hardware technologies with a cyber lens to resolve complex problems.
• Integrate security considerations throughout the software development lifecycle (threat modeling, hardening, code reviews, vulnerability assessments).
• Collaborate with customers to ensure solutions meet their needs and contribute to a culture of innovation and teamwork.
• Adapt to evolving customer requirements and participate in building a strong team culture.
• Apply curiosity, dedication, and a one-team focus to enable creative solutions.

Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI required prior to start.
• Deep knowledge of microprocessor/microcontroller architectures and low-level firmware development (e.g., ARM, RISC-V, PowerPC, PIC, AVR); proficiency in C/C++, device driver development, and embedded C.
• Hands-on experience with embedded Linux (kernel, device-tree, drivers), custom boot loaders, and standard debug tool-chains (Linux kernel, device-tree, kernel modules, U-Boot, Coreboot, bootloader, cross-compiler, JTAG, SWD).

• Hardware bring-up & debugging tools (Oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, multimeter, JTAG/SWD, in-circuit emulators).
• Analog & digital circuit design (Schematic capture, PCB layout, signal-integrity analysis, EAGLE/KiCad/Altium).
• RF & wireless fundamentals (RF front-end concepts, antennas, BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa).
• Protocol analysis & reverse-engineering (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, USB; Wireshark, Saleae, PulseView).
• Digital signal processing (FIR/IIR, fixed-point, real-time processing).
• Rapid prototyping & development kits (Breadboarding, 3-D printing, Raspberry Pi, SoM).
• Software engineering best practices (Git, CI/CD, code reviews, unit testing, Agile/Scrum, documentation).
• Communication & teamwork (technical writing, presentations, cross-functional collaboration).
• Continuous learning & technology passion (courses, open-source contributions, personal projects).

Things that would set you apart: Secure-boot/Trusted Execution Environments, advanced binary analysis, side-channel analysis mitigation, embedded security testing, IoT protocol stacks with security considerations, edge-device ML inference.
