Security Clearance Statement: This position requires a government security clearance, you must be a US Citizen for consideration., Ability to Work Remotely: Onsite Full-time: The work associated with this position will be performed onsite at a designated Lockheed Martin facility. ## Description Design the software architecture powering next-generation sensor fusion systems for the F-35. As a Senior Software Engineer / Emerging Software Architect on the Sensor Fusion team, you will lead the design, development, modeling, analysis, and testing of advanced fusion software and architecture that supports mission-critical aerospace capabilities. In this role, you will collaborate across software, systems, and mission engineering teams to integrate scalable, real-time fusion solutions into advanced applications. You will help shape architectural direction across large, complex codebases while ensuring performance, reliability, and maintainability in embedded and real-time environments. What You Will Be Doing: * Design and develop sensor fusion software architectures supporting next-generation F-35 mission systems. * Apply object-oriented design, design patterns, clean architecture principles, and test-driven development (TDD) using C++ and C#. * Develop and optimize real-time embedded software systems managing concurrency, threading, scheduling, semaphores, and queue-based processing in Windows and Linux environments. * Model, analyze, and validate fusion algorithms and software behavior through simulation, testing, and performance analysis. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate fusion solutions into operational mission systems and ensure architectural alignment across components. * Contribute to Agile development cycles as a technical leader or product-facing engineer supporting execution, prioritization, and delivery. * Participate in architectural decisions across large-scale, service-based, and component-based software systems including microservices where applicable. * Support integration with Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) standards and frameworks such as UCI, FACE, VICTORY, and related architectures. ## Related Videos - [Code to Road in < 12 hours](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1082-code-to-road-in-12-hours) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers)
