Littleton CO Hiring Software Engineer Intern

About the Program

Lockheed Martin is leading the way in hypersonic missile development. We are building the first hypersonic boost/glide system for the US Army and Navy under the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) program. The NGC-SW Integrated Product Team (IPT) is responsible for the algorithms and software that control it.

The group covers the Navigation, Guidance, and Control (NG&C or GN&C) subsystem, which flies the missile and glide body, and the embedded Flight Software (FSW) that runs the NG&C algorithms and provides health, status, and sequencing for the whole system. The team also builds and maintains the Flight Software testbeds (HILs or HWILs) used for hardware integration testing, feedback, and flight simulation.

The Role

As a Software Engineering Intern for a full-time summer position, you will support the software engineering lifecycle under the program Software Development Plan (SDP). Work includes requirements analysis, object-oriented analysis and design, code reviews, unit testing, integration support, and help with formal test and delivery activities.

This internship suits undergraduate students who want hands-on experience with real aerospace software on hypersonic systems. The typical length is 10 to 12 weeks, with mentorship from experienced NG&C and FSW engineers, exposure to hardware-in-the-loop testing, and the chance to contribute to critical algorithms and flight software for the next-generation boost/glide system.

Assignments take place in technical and engineering organizations (such as Electronics, Software, Facilities, or Manufacturing Engineering) during breaks from college while enrolled in an accredited degree program.

Desired Skills

• Coursework or project experience with embedded systems, real-time software, or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL/HWIL) testing environments
• Familiarity with version control, build systems, or unit testing frameworks

Benefits

Benefits include medical, dental, vision, flexible work arrangements and schedules (e.g., 4x10), 401(k) match, paid time off, holidays, parental leave, EAP, flexible spending accounts, education assistance, life insurance, and short-term and long-term disability. Annual incentive compensation programs may be offered depending on the position, and payments are not guaranteed.
