ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer Sr

ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer Sr | Lockheed Martin

You will be the Senior ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer for the Command Launch Assembly (CLA) FPGA team within Missiles & Fire Control (MFC). Our team delivers the digital heart beat that powers the Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI), turning system level performance and safety goals into reliable, production ready FPGA hardware for the United States and allied forces. What You Will Be Doing As the senior ASIC & FPGA designer you will own the full lifecycle of the CLA FPGA—from high level architecture through release ready documentation—while mentoring junior talent and partnering with a broad set of cross functional experts.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Defining FPGA architecture and drafting design specifications; writing clean RTL in VHDL/Verilog/System Verilog that satisfies performance, power, and reliability targets.
• Developing synthesis, place and route, and timing closure strategies to guarantee deterministic operation on the chosen FPGA families.
• Building comprehensive test plans, simulation models, and verification environments (UVM, SystemC, Python based test benches) to prove functional correctness and timing margins.
• Leading hardware in the loop (HIL) tests, board level debugging, and subsystem integration activities.
• Translating system level performance, safety, and reliability requirements into detailed FPGA architectures and resource utilization studies.
• Conducting timing analysis, power budgeting, and device selection optimization.
• Managing configuration control with Git Lab (or equivalent), maintaining version controlled repositories, and ensuring full traceability of all design artifacts.
• Producing complete design packages—specifications, test plans, verification reports, and release documentation—compliant with aerospace and Lockheed Martin command media standards.
• Collaborating with systems, software, hardware, mechanical, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to keep the program on schedule and within performance envelopes.
• Mentoring junior engineers, championing best practice FPGA development, verification, and configuration management processes.
