ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer Sr

About the role

Lockheed Martin Space is seeking a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Design Engineer to work on space-based mission processing capabilities at the edge. This position will help our team evolve ground-based mission processing applications of remote sensing payloads onto flight hardware for onboard mission processing operations. In this role, the FPGA Design Engineer will be responsible for leveraging the Vivado Design Suite, the Vitis development platform (including High-Level Synthesis), and hardware design languages VHDL and Verilog to deploy processing code and algorithms onto flight hardware. This position will work alongside research scientists, software engineers, and other FPGA engineers on the APEX (Advanced Programs and Exploitation) team.

Responsibilities

• Develop an understanding of mission processing code written in C++ and implement for hardware processing
• Develop, integrate, and test processor subsystem features and interfaces in FPGA hardware
