FPGA Engineer

Legion Technical Solutions is seeking an experienced FPGA Engineer to support the development of advanced digital systems for a major aerospace and defense client. This is an opportunity to work on complex, mission-focused technology involving high-speed communications, signal processing, embedded systems, controls, and data interfaces. The FPGA Engineer will contribute across the full engineering lifecycle-from requirements and architecture through VHDL development, verification, implementation, hardware integration, and production release. What you’ll do

• Design and deliver production-quality FPGA solutions from initial proof of concept through production
• Develop reliable, maintainable FPGA logic in VHDL
• Translate system-level requirements into detailed FPGA requirements
• Contribute to FPGA architecture, device selection, interface definition, and system CONOPS
• Perform simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and implementation
• Develop self-checking verification environments using directed and constrained-random testing
• Track functional and code coverage throughout verification
• Integrate and debug FPGA designs in circuit-card and system-level environments
• Collaborate with systems, circuit-card, software, verification, and algorithm engineers
• Support project schedules, technical milestones, and program commitments
• Create requirements, design documentation, verification plans, reports, and user guides
• Participate in internal and customer technical reviews

At least five years of relevant FPGA, digital-design, or closely related engineering experience *

• Professional experience in at least one of the following:
• Digital design and VHDL development
• Xilinx or Microsemi FPGA devices and development tools
• Delivery of FPGA solutions into system-level applications

• Hands-on FPGA integration and debugging Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment
