ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer

Lockheed Martin•Orlando, FL

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

You will be the FPGA/ASIC Design Engineer for the Advanced Programs area. Our team accelerates high performance hardware development by partnering with cross functional engineers to move concepts through design, procurement, testing, and the Design Assurance process. As the FPGA/ASIC Design Engineer you will own the end to end creation of complex FPGA and ASIC solutions—defining specifications, architecting designs, verifying functionality, and implementing hardware that meets strict power, thermal, and utilization goals. You will work side by side with software, hardware, and systems engineers to shape optimal architectures and drive rapid, reliable delivery.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science or higher from an accredited college in Electrical Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent experience/combined education
HDL programming experience with VHDL, Verilog, and/or System Verilog
Experience with FPGA simulation tools and languages

Nice To Haves

Experience with version control systems, such as Git
Experience with multiple FPGA vendors, such as Altera, Microchip, Xilinx or ASIC design experience
Knowledge of software programming languages, such as C, C++, or Python
Experience with debugging and troubleshooting complex digital systems
Knowledge of UVM and experience with UVM-based verification methodologies
Experience with the Design Assurance process

Responsibilities

Develop detailed FPGA/ASIC specifications, high level architecture, and RTL implementation using VHDL/Verilog.
Perform functional and timing verification, creating testbenches, simulation plans, and hardware in the loop validation.
Conduct trade off studies to select the most suitable FPGA family or ASIC process, balancing device utilization, power budget, thermal envelope, cost, and schedule.
Collaborate with software, hardware, and systems teams to define interface requirements, integration strategies, and overall system architecture.
Run power and thermal budget analyses, producing models and dashboards that keep designs within mission critical limits.
Create and maintain complete design data packages (BOMs, drawings, verification results, and configuration records) for Design Assurance reviews and release.
Contribute to the Design Architecture development process, providing technical input for system level decisions and trade studies.
Mentor junior engineers and champion an inclusive, collaborative culture of technical excellence.
