ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer - E2

Lockheed Martin Space is hiring an ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer to develop microchips for space applications. The role covers ASIC and FPGA development across the lifecycle, including requirements capture, architecture, design, analysis, simulation, testing, technical reviews, and coordination with an independent verification team.

Responsibilities

Work with low SWaP, radiation hardened, space rated devices

Perform all aspects of ASIC and FPGA development through the lifecycle from initial requirements capture through architecture, design, analysis, simulations and test in a Linux-based high-performance computing environment

Support technical reviews and present to internal and external stakeholders

Interface with an independent verification team who will be working in parallel, verifying the design

Develops, designs, verifies, and documents Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) development

Determines architecture design, logic design, and system simulation

Assignments include the analysis of all aspects from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, and timing and power utilization

Typically uses specialized equipment to establish operation data, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results
