Mark Norton is a Technical Lead Design Engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience in digital hardware, FPGA and board-level design, now leading design efforts at Garmin. He has driven complex avionics and aerospace projects from requirements through verification and sustainment, including DO-254-aligned FPGA processes and high-speed timing solutions for radar and transponder systems. Comfortable across system-to-gate design, he pairs deep VHDL/Verilog expertise with practical firmware, low-power RF and DDR/SoC integration experience. Mark also builds tooling in Python and Tcl (notably a VHDL mode for Sublime Text and co-simulation scripts) to automate workflows and accelerate verification. His background spans large defense and commercial organizations (VIAVI, Rockwell Collins, Northrop Grumman) where he revitalized legacy products and navigated component obsolescence through board redesigns. Based in Lenexa, KS, he blends engineering leadership with a craftsman’s attention to implementation detail.
