Yes. According to the Constitution, Article III federal judges "hold their offices during good behaviour," meaning that as long as they are not impeached and removed from office by Congress, they are awarded a lifetime commission.

This is only true of Article III judges (Judicial branch) serving on US constitutional courts, only judges on the listed courts receive lifetime appointments.
