Within Lockheed Martin Rotary Mission Systems (RMS), we are seeking a motivated and experienced Network Engineer to support RMS 5G/NextG programs including the Open Systems Interoperable and Reconfigurable Infrastructure Solution (OSIRIS) program. OSIRIS is a high-profile 5G program delivering deployable 5G solutions to the DoD. OSIRIS is one project within the RMS 5G/NextG campaign. The RMS 5G/NextG campaign is leveraging Lockheed Martin's 5G.mil® technology for insertion for RMS Contracted Research and Development (CRAD) programs and key captures.
As a Network Engineer you will be responsible for development and integration of the OSIRIS 5G solution. Our 5G solutions adapt the Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) architecture. Critical to its success is the integration of multi-vendor components fundamental to ORAN. That is where you come in: the Network Engineer will need to integrate the piece parts of the system to ensure connection and communication. Your fluency in Linux is essential as you'll be operating in a Linux operating system. You'll be doing file system navigation, modifying files via CLI using VIM or nano, collecting information about the system using Linus CLI networking tools and performing environment management. Your networking expertise is needed to build this system. Your scripting experience will allow you to understand existing scripts, creating startup scripts and bundling high level scripts.
Working in an ORAN 5G architecture is on cutting edge. Therefore this role will give you the opportunity to learn about these technologies and its benefit for our military customer. Experience with RF radio integration and baseband network configuration will help you come up to speed, but also technologies you will learn on the job.
Working in the Research and Development area can be exciting but at times frustrating. We're looking for someone who is interested in learning these new technologies and willing to deal with the roadblocks and setbacks related to breaking new ground. As a result, you'll be expected to work through dependencies, tackles critical issues quickly, and jump in wherever the team needs it, even if it may not be the typical Network Engineer responsibilities. Being a team player who is willing to learn new things will allow you to thrive in this role.
