Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is one of four Lockheed Martin business areas. MFC is a recognized designer, developer and manufacturer of precision engagement aerospace and defense systems for the U.S. and allied militaries. MFC develops, manufactures and supports advanced products for military customers that include the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, NASA and dozens of foreign allies. MFC also offers a wide range of products and services for the global civil nuclear power industry and the military’s green power initiatives.\nAs a Software Engineer at MFC, you will join one of the largest networks of software professionals, implementing cutting edge technologies on both existing and new development platforms. You will be helping us solve the world’s most difficult challenges supporting such wide-ranging domain areas such as aircraft flight command and control, air traffic control, health care, and homeland defense. We are a matrix engineering and technology organization so you will touch multiple programs over your career!\nWhat You Will Be Doing\nThe Embedded Software Engineer will develop and integrate software capabilities supporting a System Integration Lab (SIL) used for incremental subsystem and system level integration and testing. This role will bridge performance software, embedded systems, subsystem hardware, and lab test infrastructure.\nThe engineer will adapt software developed by performance and subsystem teams for the SIL/test-bed environment and develop software tools, GUIs, subsystem emulators, and test capabilities that enable standalone, incremental, and system level testing.\nThis position will work closely with electrical, RF, systems, test, and software engineers and will contribute to the definition of the SIL software architecture, interfaces, and development practices.\nCore Responsibilities:\nAdapt, integrate, and maintain embedded software developed by performance and subsystem teams for operation within the SIL/test-bed environment.\nDevelop and maintain embedded C/C++ software supporting subsystem and system-level integration.\nDevelop software interfaces between subsystem hardware and SIL test infrastructure.\nSupport hardware/software bring-up, integration, troubleshooting, and debugging.\nDevelop subsystem emulators/simulators to enable incremental testing when target hardware is unavailable or isolated testing is required.\nDevelop graphic user interfaces (GUIs) for controlling, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting SIL hardware and subsystems.\nDevelop software for command, telemetry, configuration, logging, monitoring, and data collection.\nDevelop automated test capabilities to improve test repeatability and reduce manual test execution.\nContribute to the definition and implementation of SIL software architecture, interfaces.\nDevelop unit, integration, and system-level tests for software and interfaces.\nParticipate in system integration activities, technical reviews, and test execution.\nCollaborate with engineers to identify and resolve integration issues.\nDocument software interfaces, design decisions, operating procedures, and troubleshooting methods.\nApply software development best practices including source control, code reviews, testing, documentation, and configuration management.\nThis position is onsite in Grand Prairie, Tx.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Systems Engineering, or related STEM field. \nMinimum of 5+ years of experience developing embedded software using C and/or C++.\nExperience developing software that interfaces directly with hardware.\nExperience troubleshooting and debugging hardware/software integration issues.\nExperience with software interfaces and communication protocols.\nActive Secret Security Clearance\nDesired Skills\nAbility to work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering environment.\nAbility to work independently and effectively in an environment with evolving requirements and interfaces.\nStrong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.\nSystems-level thinking with the ability to understand how software, hardware, and subsystem interfaces interact.\nStrong embedded C/C++ programming and debugging skills.\nExperience with serial and network communications, including RS-422/RS-485, Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, SPI, I²C, CAN, or similar interfaces.\nAbility to translate system and integration requirements into practical software solutions.\nAbility to understand and modify existing software to support new environments or requirements.\nAbility to develop maintainable, reusable software rather than one-off test utilities.\nAbility to determine appropriate levels of fidelity when developing subsystem emulators and simulations.\nStrong hardware/software troubleshooting skills.\nComfortable working directly with hardware, test equipment, and laboratory infrastructure.\nComfortable operating in an early-stage development environment where architectures, requirements, and interfaces may evolve.\nStrong cross-functional communication and collaboration skills.\nSelf-directed and proactive in identifying technical risks, dependencies, and integration issues.\nAbility to take ownership of a software capability from concept and architecture through implementation, integration, and test.\nExperience interfacing with laboratory instrumentation and test equipment.\nExperience with command and telemetry systems, data logging, configuration management, or data acquisition.\nExperience with Git or similar version-control systems.\nExperience working with complex systems containing multiple interacting subsystems.\nPay Information\nFull-Time Salary Range: $120600.00 - $224000.00\nAt Lockheed Martin, we know mission success starts with taking care of our people.
