Job Satisfaction at Lockheed Martin Australia

Spend a lot of the day leading a small team, engaging with executives or developing software.

I am currently a test engineer, I validate software and update documentation

At times the work can be very process or administrative-based. However, in Contracts, the day-to-day is fulfilling and consists of contract reviews, clause drafting, negotiations, business improvement activities, etc.

As a hardware engineer working in a systems role, I find that my position isn't tailored well to my skills. I have inquired about changing this but have not received a positive response.

My role as a software engineer (note, not a "developer") necessitates getting involved in the entire software development process. It involves working with Business Analysts to discover requirements, discuss potential solutions, and to bound solutions to what is possible. I need to continue learning about new tools and software libraries to develop robust and useful solutions. I also design and build code to best software practices (where possible), and am constantly provided with valuable feedback to help me to improve over time. I am responsible for the implementation of automated deployment for most of our solutions, which has been a great learning experience.

Software integration, software development, documentation, testing, configuration design

Given tasks suitable to my desired career direction. Very satisfied with tasks given. Get to perform a lot of technical work.

Software engineer, required to write and refactor code in front end, back end of web services application. Design and implement oracle database.

Not always the most fulfilling or stimulating work but it has its moments
