About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer to join our team at Lockheed Martin. As a key member of our organization, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing complex digital systems using Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs).

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the design and development of FPGA architectures, standards, and development processes.
  • Develop FPGA cores and images, including high-speed interfaces such as SerDes and Gigabit Ethernet.
  • Create FPGA test scripts using scripting languages and troubleshoot hardware issues.
  • Work with software teams to integrate FPGA with driver and simulation software.
  • System-level understanding of our simulation products and ability to review Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and develop Concept of Operations (ConOps).
  • Understanding of TB&S testbed architecture and ability to develop signal channelization lists, wire diagrams, and top-level designs.
  • Troubleshooting design equipment and collaborating across different TB&S teams and program teams.
  • Effective communication and coordination with software/hardware leads within the Product Line.
Requirements
  • Experience with Very High Speed Integrated Circuit (VHSIC) and Hardware Description language (VHDL).
  • Experience with configuration control systems like Git, GitLab, or GitHub.
  • Experience with Unix/Linux environments.
  • Must be a US Citizen and able to obtain and maintain a government security clearance TS/SCI.
Preferred Qualifications
  • VHDL Simulators (e.g., QuestaSim, Vivado Simulator, etc.).
  • Experience in full life cycle product development.
  • High-speed (≥ 1 Gbit/s) video signal interfaces and integration experience.
  • Gigabit Ethernet design and integration experience.
  • Experience with resolving synthesis/implementation issues and timing failures.
  • Experience with using scripting languages, such as Python, for FPGA testing on hardware.
  • Experience with communication protocols (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, TCP/IP, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, IEEE 488, DMA, PCIE, SRIO, XAUI, SPI, I2C, etc.).
  • Experience with Tool Common Language (tcl) scripts.
  • Experience programming Xilinx FPGAs with VHDL or Verilog.
  • Experience with hardware development life-cycle: requirements, design, development, integration and test, and maintenance.
  • Experience writing and executing test procedures.
  • Experience with cable/harness design.
  • Broad range of electronic circuit design experience in areas such as analog, digital, microcontroller, FPGAs, and power supply circuits.
  • Experience developing software using text-based languages, such as Python, C/C++/C#, Visual Basic.
  • Experience with Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) design and schematic capture and PWB/PCB layout interface, generating a BOM (Bill of Materials) of required components/parts, and working with vendors for fabrication, assembly, and parts procurement.
  • Experience in hardware/software integration, and troubleshooting.
  • Troubleshooting and repair cable setups, PWB/PCB, Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA) and a variety of electronic equipment.
