Lockheed Martin Canada is seeking a Senior Computer Vision Software Engineer to drive architectural evolution and deliver high-performance perception code for edge-deployed platforms. You will collaborate with a cross-functional team to design and integrate pioneering capabilities for mission-critical space systems.
What You'll Do
- Apply solid software design principles (modularity, testability) to enhance and extend our existing C++/Python codebase.
- Collaborate closely with hardware engineers, optics specialists, system architects, and other stakeholders to transform algorithmic concepts into high-performance, deployable solutions.
- Write production-grade C++ code for core functionality, complemented by Python scripts for testing, simulation, and rapid prototyping.
- Deeply understand the target hardware architecture and its processing constraints to fine-tune algorithms, maximizing runtime efficiency.
- Contribute to and leverage Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment pipelines using tools such as GitLab CI, Google Test, and Docker.
What We're Looking For
- Strong command of C++ (C++14/17/20) and Python.
- Test-driven mindset – experience writing unit, integration, and performance tests; familiarity with frameworks such as Google Test.
- Understanding of software design patterns and architectural principles (e.g., SOLID, factory, strategy, visitor, dependency injection).
- Understanding of core algorithms and data structures (graphs, trees, heaps, dynamic programming, greedy techniques, etc.).
- Proficiency with modern development tooling – Linux/Unix environments, build systems (CMake), debugging/profiling tools (gdb, valgrind).
- Collaborative communication skills – comfortable discussing technical trade-offs with peers, documenting design decisions.
- To meet requirements of the program/customer, this position requires the selected employee to be a U.S. Citizen.
- The selected applicant must be eligible to obtain, and maintain, Top Secret with adjudicated SCI Eligibility (TS/SCI) for long term employment on this program.
Nice to Have
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience) with 3+ years of software development experience.
- Familiarity with functional programming languages like Rust.
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Experience with MATLAB.
- Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, or applying computer-vision algorithms and/or artificial-intelligence / machine-learning techniques.
- Prior work on real-time or embedded systems.
- Knowledge of GPU/parallel programming (CUDA, OpenCL, OpenMP).
Technical Stack
- C++, Python, GitLab CI, Google Test, Docker, CMake, Linux/Unix
- Rust, MATLAB, CUDA, OpenCL, OpenMP
Team & Environment
You will join a high-impact, cross-functional team delivering cutting-edge perception solutions.
