ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer Stf - E4
Description
Standard Job Description
You will be the ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer for the ASIC/FPGA department at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. Our team creates FPGA‑based architectures that power current and next‑generation defense systems, delivering highly reliable, high‑performance digital solutions for mission‑critical applications.
What You Will Be Doing
As the FPGA Design Engineer you will lead the digital development of RF‑sensor platforms, partnering with algorithm, software, and hardware groups to transform MATLAB/Simulink models into efficient, synthesizable RTL and integrate that RTL onto AMD RFSoC and Versal devices. Your responsibilities will include:
- Defining digital architectures that meet radar/RF‑sensor performance, power, and timing requirements.
- Converting algorithmic models from MATLAB/Simulink into high‑level synthesis (Vitis HLS) and RTL code (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog).
- Writing, simulating, and verifying RTL and HLS implementations, using self‑checking testbenches and functional coverage.
- Integrating custom and third‑party IP blocks, managing clock‑domain crossing and timing‑closure challenges with Synopsys VCS and Xilinx Vivado tools.
- Performing place‑and‑route, timing analysis, and optimization to achieve timing closure on RFSoC/Versal platforms.
- Conducting design reviews, delivering clear documentation, and maintaining configuration control in version‑control systems.
- Collaborating with algorithm developers, hardware engineers, and software teams to ensure seamless end‑to‑end system integration.
- Leading mentorship efforts for junior engineers and fostering an inclusive, innovative team culture.
- Supporting system‑level validation, debugging, and board‑level testing to confirm functional and performance goals.
