Job Description

You will be the Senior ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer for the Programmable Logic Design team supporting the Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI). Our team creates the digital heart beats-ASICs and FPGAs-that enable precision engagement aerospace and defense systems for the United States and allied forces.

What You Will Be Doing
As the Senior ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer you will own the architecture, development, verification, and delivery of the Datalink FPGA that powers the NGSRI. You'll translate system level performance, safety, and reliability goals into robust, production ready logic while mentoring junior talent and collaborating across disciplines. Your responsibilities will include:
• Defining architecture and design specifications for programmable logic components; writing clean, well documented RTL in VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Developing synthesis, place and route, and timing closure strategies to achieve deterministic operation on target FPGA families.
• Building comprehensive test plans, simulation models, and verification environments (UVM, SystemC, Python based testbenches) to prove functional correctness and timing margins.
• Leading hardware in the loop (HIL) testing, board level debugging, and subsystem integration.
• Performing timing analysis, power budgeting, and resource utilization studies to guide device selection and optimize FPGA utilization.
• Managing configuration control with GitLab (or equivalent), maintaining version controlled repositories, and ensuring full traceability of all artifacts.
• Producing complete design packages-specifications, test plans, verification reports, and release documentation-meeting aerospace standards and Lockheed Martin command media requirements.
• Collaborating with systems, software, mechanical, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to keep the program on schedule and within performance envelopes.
• Mentoring junior engineers, championing best practices in FPGA/ASIC development, verification, and configuration management.
