Lockheed Martin Rotary & Mission Systems is seeking a full-time Early Career Software Engineer. In this role, you will be supporting an IRAD team that is building a next generation, model driven workflow that turns SysML designs (Cameo Systems Modeler) into configuration artifacts that drive large, complex systems. We need a seasoned Java developer to analyze existing configuration files, create automated generation pipelines, prototype user friendly utilities, and integrate the outputs into CI/CD and containerized environments.

Core responsibilities will include:

• Convert SysML model elements into system compliant configuration formats such as XML, YAML, JSON, or other required schemas.
• Examine and reverse engineer configuration files used for large scale systems (XML, proprietary formats, etc.).
• Design Java pipelines that read Cameo Systems Modeler (SysML) models and produce equivalent configuration files.
• Build proof of concept tools that extend the model’s ability to auto generate configuration artifacts.
• Package the generation tools as reproducible artifacts (Maven/Gradle, Docker images) and integrate them into the team’s build pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, etc.).
• Explore container based execution (Docker, Podman, OCI) for the generation steps to guarantee environment consistency.

Basic Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of professional Java experience (Java 8+).
• Knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) languages such as Java, Python, or C++ with the ability to apply these skills in a professional setting
• Hands on familiarity with SysML/UML concepts and Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw)/Rhapsody
• Ability to parse, manipulate, and generate large configuration files (XML, JSON, YAML, CSV, proprietary formats).
• Strong written/oral skills; able to explain technical solutions to multidisciplinary audiences.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Must be a US Citizen; this position will require a government security clearance.

Desired Skills

• Experience using Cameo’s Open API or MagicDraw API from Java along with the modeling tools themselves (Cameo, MagicDraw, Phapsody.PlantUML, etc)
• Familiarity with Linux, Git, MATLAB
• Familiarity with Jira or Redmine project management tools
• Familiarity with Docker (Dockerfile authoring, image publishing) and concepts of container based pipelines.
• Familiarity with Agile software development methodologies
• Knowledgeable in execution semantics for SysML, UML, or both, with a willingness to learn and apply these skills in a professional setting
• OCSMP SysML certification, SysML training course, or coursework involving SysML
