Standard Job Description

You will be the Staff ASIC & FPGA Designer Engineer for the Hardware Engineering team at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC). Our Team is a recognized designer, developer, and manufacturer of precision engagement aerospace and defense systems for the U.S. and allied militaries. This role is suited for an experienced FPGA professional who can drive technical strategy, mentor engineers, and shape the direction of programmable logic capabilities across programs.

What You Will Be Doing

• Owning end-to-end development of sophisticated FPGA-based architectures, from requirements capture through production release
• Defining, designing, verifying, and implementing FPGA architectures using VHDL and/or Verilog, leveraging AMD Vivado, Altera Quartus, and equivalent toolchains
• Conducting trade studies to select optimal FPGA devices, balancing logic utilization, power consumption, thermal performance, cost, and risk
• Creating detailed FPGA requirements and interface control documents that guide cross-functional development
• Applying Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) or equivalent frameworks to build robust testbenches and achieve high-coverage verification
• Incorporating NSA algorithm architectures (e.g., AES, counter mode) and RF waveform implementations, including Simulink/HDL Coder integration
• Supporting Design Assurance reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) and ensuring compliance with MFC engineering standards and aerospace design practices
• Providing technical leadership, mentorship, and code review guidance to engineers across the organization
• Driving the Design Architecture Development process, ensuring milestones are met and risks are mitigated
• Managing configuration control and versioning in LM-approved repositories (e.g., GitLab) and maintaining comprehensive design documentation
• Participating in cross-functional technical meetings, risk assessments, and schedule reviews, and representing FPGA engineering in customer-facing engagements
