ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer Stf - E4

Long Description

You will be the ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer for the Hardware Engineering team at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC). Our team delivers precision engagement aerospace and defense systems, designing, building and fielding the electrical hardware that powers missiles, sensors and other mission critical subsystems for the United States and allied militaries.

As the ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer you will own the end-to-end development of complex, multi-function FPGA modules. You’ll work side-by-side with software, hardware, and systems engineers to shape architecture, define requirements, and drive designs from concept through production. You’ll also serve as a technical mentor, guiding less‑experienced engineers and fostering cross‑disciplinary collaboration.

• Designing, verifying, and implementing sophisticated FPGA architectures that meet stringent performance, power, and thermal targets.
• Conducting trade studies to select the optimal FPGA device for each application, balancing utilization, power consumption, and cost.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams (software, hardware, system) to develop clear FPGA requirements and integrated system architectures.
• Leading the Design Architecture process, producing specifications, block diagrams, and interface definitions.
• Troubleshooting complex programmable‑logic issues, performing root‑cause analysis, and delivering inventive solutions.
• Acting independently to resolve implementation challenges that arise during prototype testing and low‑rate production.
• Mentoring junior engineers, reviewing their work, and delivering technical training or lunch‑and‑learn sessions.
• Partnering with manufacturing and technical support personnel to ensure smooth transition from design to high‑volume production.
• Contributing to proposal development, white‑papers, and basis‑of‑estimate (BOE) documentation for new programs.
• Participating in design reviews, change boards, and risk‑assessment meetings to maintain compliance with Lockheed Martin standards.
