## Description

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
