Job Description
Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more — we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.
At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We’re creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We’re erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We’re advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we’re reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.
Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.
The Erebus Program is a newly awarded 7-year effort that delivers cutting-edge intelligence and geospatial data management applications and services to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). As the premier geospatial intelligence program globally, Erebus supports over 14,000 intelligence analysts and decision-makers at 50 distinct locations worldwide.
The Program’s focus is on meeting the current mission needs of our customer, but also pioneering future automation solutions for the NGA based on agency directives. We are developing innovative, machine-generated, and system-augmented geospatial analysis and production capabilities that will revolutionize the way intelligence is distributed to stakeholders. To achieve this, we need talented engineers who share our passion for excellence and innovation. If you're a skilled engineer looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity, join the Erebus Team and help us build next generation of geospatial intelligence software and support critical national security missions.
In this role, you will work with the program's Chief Architect to define and oversee the structure and design of the software system. You will collaborate with management, engineering, software development teams, operations staff, and the customer to ensure alignment and successful delivery of the software.
Key Responsibilities Include:
• Design and lead the implementation of software architectures across product teams that meet requirements, are aligned to best practices, and ensure scalable and reliable deployments
• Evaluate and recommend new technologies, tools, and processes to improve software development efficiency and quality
• Influence product road maps through technical feasibility studies, risk assessments, and cost benefit analyses.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to scrum teams on deployment strategies to ensure high availability and rapid rollback capabilities.
• Support the end-to-end software delivery flow from design through operations and maintenance
• Partner with DevOps and security teams to embed quality gates and security checks in CI/CD, continuously enhancing DevSecOps with automated SAST/DAST, container image scanning, secrets management, and compliance verification.
• Lead initiatives to improve automated unit, integration, and performance testing across products
The applicant selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
