SCIENCE

Lockheed Martin has positions for Research Scientists across several different business units and areas of expertise. Opportunities range from laser development efforts with Lockheed Martin Coherent Technologies (LMCT) in Colorado, to latent fingerprint research for the FBI in West Virginia, to human factors research for the Crew Exploration Vehicle at our Space Systems business unit in Sunnyvale, CA and Houston, TX. Opportunities also include Warfighter research in computational cognitive modeling architectures, as well as materials research for our efforts with atomic power labs.

Science, research and development environments of particular interest include:
Advanced Technology Labs (ATL)
Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (AIL)
Distributed Processing Laboratory (DPL)
Embedded Processing Laboratory (EPL)

• The Advanced Technology Labs (ATL) - Many research-minded scientists work here, especially in classified technology, the fastest growing business area at ATL. Additional opportunities may be found in the Advanced Concepts Laboratory, the center of excellence with ATL for independent and contract research and development for the classified and intelligence communities.

• The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (AIL) - Here we develop and apply artificial intelligence technology to distributed, real-time and autonomous systems for military platforms. The laboratory's ability to embed artificial-intelligence systems into larger software systems allows human decision makers to increase efficiency and deal with complex, time-sensitive environments. Artificial intelligence is developed and applied in a variety of domains, including rule-based technology, knowledge-based systems, distributed and real-time artificial intelligence, autonomous/collaborative systems and neural networks.

We are at the forefront of artificial intelligence in designing systems that serve as partners for users. Our laboratory focuses on four business areas:

• Autonomy and Teaming
• Net-Centric Operations Technologies
• Situation Understanding
• User-Centered Interfaces

• The Distributed Processing Laboratory (DPL) - This is where we create innovative, distributed, secure and trusted, highly flexible infrastructures for next-generation C4I systems, including assured real-time systems and Quality of Service. We are applying domain-specific information, transforming technology into scalable and evolving frameworks and enhancing the performance and capability requirements of decision-driven systems. Domain knowledge allows us to understand user requirements so that we can develop and apply the best technology solution to meet their needs. We establish computing architectures that are pliable and evolve with our customers' changing objectives and improve technology to meet the stringent operational requirements of decision-driven systems.

The solutions we are creating at Lockheed Martin for next-generation systems include those for the Department of Homeland Security and for unmanned systems; intelligent systems and C4I systems. Our software innovation includes neuromorphic computation/learning, polymorphic computation, middleware, ontology translation, reasoning/learning and data mining/exploitation.

The laboratory focuses on four business areas:

• Cognitive Computing
• Dynamic, Adaptive Reconfigurable Systems
• Information Exploitation
• Network Mission Assurance

The Embedded Processing Laboratory (EPL) - This lab researches and develops a variety of embedded technologies and complex systems. These efforts are applied to secure, reliable network issues; improved wireless communications through digital radios and dynamic allocation of spectrum and advanced modeling and simulation in a variety of areas.

Network-centric warfare and operations tie together people, platforms, weapons, decision aids and sensors to provide an overwhelming and coordinated capability. A portion of this network must support netted embedded systems where physical constraints of the environment dictate design approaches and operation decisions. Achieving success within these constraints requires solutions to several technological challenges:

• Increasing available bandwidth for wireless communications
• Reducing energy required for unattended sensor network
• Designing autonomous and cognitive sensors, networks and processors
• Improving sensor collaboration and joint signal processing.

Years of expertise are combined in embedded processing and complex systems, as well as partnerships with other Lockheed Martin businesses, commercial and defense companies and universities to transition technologies into various military platforms. Our laboratory focuses on four business areas:

• Advanced Networking
• Advanced Signal Processing and Embedded Processing
• Complex Systems
• Wireless Communications
