What We’re Doing
Lockheed Martin is shaping the future of military tactics and technology through advanced Operations Analysis (OA). Within the Rotary & Mission Systems (RMS) business area, the OA development team conducts studies and analyses across a wide range of operational scenarios the warfighter may face. These efforts identify capability gaps and propose innovative solutions that directly influence both customer strategies and Lockheed Martin’s long-term vision.
The Work
As a Software Engineer on the OA development team, you will focus on building the foundational components of virtual battlefield simulations. This includes developing new models and capabilities to support analysts, integrating diverse models and simulations, and enhancing existing tools. Much of this work is conducted using AFSIM (Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration & Modeling).
You will work in an Agile environment, collaborating closely with analysts and fellow developers to support studies that quantify the impact of new operational concepts (CONOPS), system design variants, payloads, weapons, tactics, and force size/mix on survivability and mission effectiveness. Opportunities exist to contribute to projects at both the RMS business area level and across the broader Lockheed Martin enterprise.
