Lockheed Martin
Description:
You will be the FPGA Design Engineer for the Spitze & Digital Design team at Lockheed Martin’s Chelmsford, MA campus. Our team creates cutting edge digital and FPGA solutions that power multi‑function missile modules, wireless datalink communications and high‑performance microwave systems.
What You Will Be Doing As the FPGA Design Engineer you will turn challenging concepts into reliable hardware and firmware that meet strict size, weight, power and security requirements. You will partner with FPGA specialists, microwave experts and cross‑functional groups to deliver end‑to‑end digital solutions. Your responsibilities include:
Designing, coding and verifying complex FPGA architectures that embed DSP, SDR, encryption, networking and microwave circuit control.
Developing RTL logic, register transfer level code and supporting circuitry for multi‑function modules.
Creating and maintaining firmware and design requirement documents that define system architecture and performance targets.
Performing hardware and firmware debugging in the lab using state‑of‑the‑art test equipment and oscilloscopes.
Leveraging the latest FPGA families with embedded ARM processors to meet software‑hardware integration goals.
Conducting peer reviews of firmware code and digital designs to ensure quality, standards compliance and traceability.
Selecting devices, evaluating part availability and managing component obsolescence to keep designs manufacturable and affordable.
Working closely with test, mechanical and manufacturing engineering teams to validate designs through prototypes, SIL/HIL testing and production hand‑offs.
Supporting wireless datalink communication system development for missile and fire control applications.
Contributing to continuous learning initiatives, sharing knowledge and mentoring junior engineers in best practices.
Why Join Us Do you എന്നു want to be part of a company culture that empowers employees to think big, lead with a growth mindset, and make the impossible a reality? We provide resources and give you flexibility to inspire and focus.
