Our flexible schedules, competitive pay, and comprehensive benefits enable our employees to live a healthy, fulfilling life in and outside of work.

Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) is chartered with creating generation-after-next technology to help Lockheed Martin maintain technology dominance. As a group of applied research laboratories, we are professionals who develop and apply leading edge technologies to our customers’ most difficult problems and needs. Our researchers work closely with customers to create and shape opportunities and are skilled in applying emerging research to evolving programs. Our agile business structure is designed to swiftly respond to urgent needs. Our primary partners include government agencies like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and government service laboratories, commercial enterprises, and other Lockheed Martin organizations. ATL maintains research and development relationships with government agencies, key universities, industry partners and thought leaders

What our team does:

This position is within the Trusted Intelligence Laboratory (TIL). Our mission is to create new competencies for Lockheed Martin for development of Trusted-by-Design Intelligent Systems. TIL technology focus areas include Neuro-Symbolic and Generative AI, AI Assurance, and Human-AI Trust. TIL current application areas are Autonomy, Counter-Autonomy, Command and Control, and Cognitive Security. Advances in AI and Autonomy are poised to have a transformational impact on society. We are growing our areas of research to lead future technology advances in applied formal methods, simulation, test, verification, validation, and certification of autonomous and AI-enabled systems across air, land, sea, space and cyber domains.

• This role is scoped as Hybrid with an onsite requirement in either our Arlington, VA or Cherry Hill, NJ locations. If the selected applicant will be badged to a location within 15 miles of the Camden, NJ City Hall, the role will be represented by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

Basic Qualifications:

• Degree in a STEM field (e.g., Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Math, Physics) from an accredited college or university
• Bachelor's degree with 5 years professional experience; or master's degree with 3 years professional experience; or PhD with no experience necessary

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques (e.g., reinforcement learning, graph neural networks, game theory, causal fusion, neuro-symbolic reasoning, GenAI…)
• Formal methods for assurance, optimization, and verification/validation (e.g., formal specification, model-checking, theorem proving, reactive synthesis, cyber-physical systems...)
• Safety-critical Systems Engineering: experience designing and testing systems that meet rigorous safety and reliability standards (e.g., DO-178, MIL-STDs, etc.), knowledge of assurance cases, risk assessment, safety analysis, failure mode analysis, system/software dependability.
• Application of technical skills in one or more of the following areas:
• Autonomous Systems: scalable autonomy, human-machine teams, counter autonomy
• Command and control, decision-making, targeting and intelligence
• “Gray Zone” operations and influence campaigns
• Must have the ability to obtain a U.S. Secret security clearance that requires U.S. citizenship. Applicants selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information

• Experience developing software compatible with Universal Command and Control Interface (UCI)
• Data Science techniques (e.g., regression analysis, statistics, K-Means clustering, uncertainty quantification, data extraction and cleansing …)
• Optimization and control (e.g., meta-optimization, game-theoretic control …_
• Computational cognitive science and cognitive modeling
• Compute at edge: neuromorphic computing or other non-conventional (bio-inspired, …)
• Active Secret level clearance or higher

Security Clearance Statement: This position requires a government security clearance, you must be a US Citizen for consideration.
