Job description

Equip Our Customers. Empower Employees. Drive. Win. Change the World.

At Envision Technology, we do not just build products. We develop mission critical technologies that help military, law enforcement, and government professionals accomplish their most demanding missions. From advanced electro optical systems and unmanned technologies to precision engineered solutions, our products are built to perform when reliability matters most.

As a growing engineering and manufacturing company, we move quickly, solve complex challenges, and empower every employee to make a meaningful impact. Whether you are designing innovative technology, building precision systems, or supporting our operations, your work directly contributes to delivering solutions our customers depend on.
Position Summary
In this role, you will lead the FPGA design, simulation, and integration/debug effort for complex electro-optical systems, mainly used for defense applications.

• Collaborate in all stages of development, from conceptual architecture to detailed design, through system integration and manufacturing support.
• Work on a multi-disciplinary team in a fast-paced environment.
• Troubleshoot failures to root cause and develop quick, effective solutions.
• Support customer program reviews.
