Software Architect Senior Staff at Lockheed Martin Corporation

The job title is 'Software Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title; the title states no level. However, the scope — defining cross-team architecture, resolving complex technical issues, and driving a common vision across multiple Agile teams — is consistent with a Senior-level individual contributor.

The SOC classification is Medium confidence. The role is primarily software architecture and design (15-1252 Software Developers), but the cross-team technical leadership and architecture focus could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other). It does not appear to be a people-management role, so 11-3021 was not used.

No specific work location is stated in the posting. The salary ranges reference multiple states (CA, MA, NY, CO, HI, IL, MD, MN, NJ, VT, WA, DC), suggesting the role may be filled in various Lockheed Martin Space locations; no single CBSA could be determined.

Clearance: the JD states 'Ability to obtain a government clearance (ship) is required.' The term 'ship' in parentheses is Lockheed Martin shorthand for 'Secret/Homeland Security Presidential Directive,' indicating a Secret-level clearance is required.

OOA and OOD are listed together as a single requirement in the Basic Qualifications; they are emitted as two separate skills since they are distinct techniques, with OOA also carrying OOD as an alternative to reflect their paired mention.

Compensation: two salary ranges are provided — a standard range ($134,000–$236,325) and a premium range for major metro areas in CA, MA, and NY ($154,100–$267,145). The lower (standard) range is reported in the compensation fields as the broader baseline; the premium range is noted here for reference.

Prior experience with simulation software is described as 'highly beneficial' — this is a preferred signal but names no specific tool or technology, so no skill entry was created for it.

Real-time software development experience is listed under Desired Skills with no specific technology named beyond 'real-time operating systems'; both are captured as preferred.

Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Object-Oriented Analysis, Object-Oriented Design, real-time operating systems.

Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
