Job Description

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is an industry leader in RF Stealth Technology. We are involved in all phases of the design, prototyping, production and maintenance of Low Observable air platforms. One key element of this process is the accurate prediction of Radar Cross Section (RCS) of complex targets. To that end we seek world class talent from entry level through most senior in all areas of computational electromagnetics (CEM). This includes candidates meeting requirements below with backgrounds in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics. The candidate we seek will be expected to perform cutting edge research in CEM focusing on innovative formulations of electromagnetic scattering and advanced matrix solver techniques, and skilled in developing and deploying complex scientific software on high performance computing (HPC) platforms. The candidate should be formally trained in fundamental research techniques to identify new technologies, recognize shortfalls in existing capabilities, and able to contribute to collaborative software development efforts.

Must be able to obtain a DOD clearance.

Must be a US Citizen, position is located at a facility that requires special access

Basic Qualifications

* Extensive background in Theoretical Electromagnetics
* Theoretical and practical experience in Computational Electromagnetics (CEM)
* Team software development experience on Linux platforms using modern software development tools
* Electrical engineering, physics or computer science degree with emphasis on Electromagnetics and/or Linear Algebra and/or Computer Science (BS required, Masters or PhD desired)
* Experience with high level programming language(s) such as FORTRAN, C or C++
* Experience with surface mesh generation
