Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is seeking a Senior ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer to join our Programmable Logic Design team. MFC is a recognized designer, developer, and manufacturer of precision engagement aerospace and defense systems for the U.S. and allied militaries. This role offers an excellent working environment with a mix of cutting-edge digital design, hands-on laboratory testing, and product development. You will work with and learn from industry-leading circuit design professionals in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.
What You Will Be Doing
The Senior ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer will serve as a key technical contributor on one or more defense programs, leading the design, verification, and integration of advanced FPGA-based solutions. Responsibilities may include:
• Defining architecture and design specifications for programmable logic components, developing and documenting RTL (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) that meets performance, power, and reliability requirements
• Creating synthesis, place and route, and timing closure strategies to ensure deterministic operation across target FPGA devices
• Generating comprehensive test plans, simulation models, and verification environments (UVM, SystemC, Python-based testbenches) to validate functional correctness and timing margins
• Leading hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, board-level debugging, and integration with subsystem-level hardware
• Translating system-level performance, safety, and reliability requirements into detailed FPGA architectures
• Conducting timing analysis, power budgeting, and resource utilization studies to optimize device selection and FPGA utilization
• Managing configuration control (GitLab or equivalent), maintaining version-controlled design repositories, and ensuring traceability of all artifacts
• Producing comprehensive design documentation, including specifications, test plans, verification reports, and release packages compliant with aerospace standards
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams — systems, software, hardware, mechanical, test, manufacturing, and quality — to ensure seamless integration and compliance with program milestones
• Providing technical mentorship to junior engineers and promoting best practices in FPGA development, verification, and configuration management
This position offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced ASIC & FPGA design professionals and gain exposure to cutting-edge defense technology.
Candidates may be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
