IRST Software Test Engineer / Embedded / C++ / Orlando, FL

IRST Software Test Engineer / Embedded / C++ / Orlando, FL | Lockheed Martin

One of Lockheed Martin's premier programs Infrared Search and Track (IRST) program is looking for a Software Test Engineer to support production testing as well as software debugging and code updates. IRST detects and tracks objects that emit electromagnetic radiation – or infrared signatures. More simply put, it's a type of sensor system that can detect and track threats at long ranges. What makes it unique is its "passive" nature – meaning it can act without emitting any radiation of its own. We call it a "see first, strike first" sensor system because it enables aircrews to target threats, or adversaries, before those adversaries see (or sense) them. This position is responsible for all phases of the software development lifecycle including requirements analysis, design, code and unit test, and hardware/software integration and verification. The individual will develop embedded software in C++ and embedded operating system in an Agile environment using JIRA, Git and Confluence. The individual will need to apply appropriate standards, processes, procedures and tools throughout the development lifecycle.
