• Performing scientific experiments,
investigations, observations and related
research studies
• Developing theories for understanding,
characterizing, and organizing natural
phenomena into a systematic and significant
pattern
• Participating in intellectual property
evaluations and development of patent
applications
• Instructing and teaching junior level
engineers/researchers
We are looking for someone who is excited
about developing new research ideas in
autonomy and robotics. This role will work on

expertise.
You are someone with strong technical writing,
presentation and overall communication skills
for reports, proposals, technical presentations,
and interaction with customers, team
members, suppliers, and academic/industry
collaborators.
Come be a thought leader in research and technology
development encompassing multiple engineering
disciplines, such as in Autonomous Systems/Algorithm
/Software development, AI, Robotics, electronics and
mechanical systems in relation to Space applications.
You would lead business development activities including
customer shaping engagements, white paper, RFI and
proposal generation for Autonomous Systems, AI and
Robotics in Space applications for DOD and NASA
customers and drive collaborations with top tier
Universities. We are looking for someone who demonstrates strong technical writing, presentation and overall communication skills for reports, proposals, technical presentations, and interaction with customers, team members, suppliers, and academic/industry collaborators.
To promote the sharing of ideas, Lockheed Martin fosters an inclusive work environment that encourages differences and big-picture thinking.
