Job summary

Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is seeking a Senior Staff FPGA Engineer to lead FPGA-based RF target-generation and HWIL simulation efforts. You will architect, implement, integrate, and verify high-performance digital signal-processing solutions for real-time radar and electronic-warfare test environments.

The role requires deep experience with AMD/Xilinx RFSoC devices, SystemVerilog, and FPGA-based data paths, with collaboration across systems, software, and hardware teams to

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, with significant relevant professional experience.
• Six+ years of experience with FPGA Firmware development.
• Extensive experience designing and implementing FPGA-based systems.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog.
• Experience with AMD/Xilinx FPGA development tools, including Vivado and associated simulation and debugging tools.
• Experience developing FPGA-based digital signal-processing functions.
• Experience with high-speed data interfaces, clock-domain crossing, timing closure, and FPGA resource optimization.
• Experience performing hardware integration and troubleshooting using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and logic analyzers.
• Understanding of digital communications, sampled-data systems, signal processing, and RF fundamentals.
• Active secret security clearance

Responsibilities

• Serve as a technical expert for FPGA-based RF Target Generation and HWIL system development.
• Develop and maintain FPGA and RFSoC architectures supporting real-time waveform generation, signal processing, data movement, and system control.
• Design, implement, simulate, and verify FPGA logic using SystemVerilog.
• Develop RFSoC solutions incorporating high-speed ADCs/DACs, digital up/down conversion, numerically controlled oscillators, channelization, filtering, modulation, and waveform playback.
• Integrate FPGA designs with embedded processors, software applications, RF hardware, test equipment, and HWIL simulation infrastructure.
• Perform system timing, latency, throughput, synchronization, and resource-utilization analyses.
• Develop interfaces using technologies such as AXI4, JESD204, PCIe, Ethernet, Aurora, DDR memory, and high-speed serial transceivers.
• Develop verification strategies, test benches, automated tests, and objective evidence demonstrating compliance with system requirements.
• Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, RF, modeling and simulation, integration, and test engineers.
