Job ID: 702196BR Date posted: Aug. 25, 2025
Description:Yes, we do Cyber! For the past 16 years, the Advanced Concepts Laboratory’s (ACL) team of world class engineers and applied researchers has been developing advanced cyber capabilities for DoD and IC customers. Our Information Operations (IO) and Computer Network Operations (CNO) technologies provide our customers with leap-ahead capabilities that enable them to attack some of our nation’s most difficult problems.

Cyber is an evolutionary domain and ACL is on the revolutionary edge. We’re a team that’s passionate about Cyber and loves to solve the hard problems. Do you enjoy tackling problems whose solutions aren’t obvious? Is the idea of building an operational capability exciting? Do you thrive in an open, collaborative environment? If any of these are true, we’d love the opportunity to talk to you!

The development of cyber capabilities relies upon a wide variety of skills and expertise. If you have passion for Firmware or Kernel level development, OS/Network/Application design or vulnerability and malware analysis, Reverse Engineering, or IO and CNO technology development, you may be a great candidate to join our growing team. If you have strong software development skills in C, C++, and Python, experience with debuggers like gdb, Valgrind, windbg, understand network protocols and inter-process communication, and are capable of executing self-directed research tasks, we would like to explore your interest in joining us on our extraordinary journey.

If selected, you will become a member of a world class team of applied researchers and engineers that contributes to beyond state-of-the-art customer and internally funded R&D.

All ACL team members are also be eligible for participation in a Lockheed Martin Incentive Plan.
Basic Qualifications:
