Great innovation doesn’t always come from large teams—it often comes from teams that collaborate exceptionally well. Our FPGA team works with Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, enabling highly customizable, high-performance electronics that can be adapted to meet specific customer needs. Supporting multiple functions across the company, the FPGA team plays a critical role in enabling complex solutions that support our teams and customers worldwide.
During a recent period of organizational change, the FPGA team demonstrated what strong collaboration really looks like. Rather than slowing down, the team focused on continuity—documenting critical knowledge, preserving expertise, and stepping into evolving roles to keep key initiatives moving forward.
Because the FPGA team supports multiple parts of the business, their work requires a broad perspective and a team-first mindset. Every decision is made with the bigger picture in mind, ensuring solutions work not just locally, but across Novanta.
That approach proved essential when the team took on the challenge of bringing FPGA development in-house for a partner. With limited margin for error, the team worked together to evaluate multiple technical approaches, openly discuss trade-offs, and move quickly toward the right solution.
By combining deep technical expertise with trust, transparency, and collaboration, the FPGA team turned a challenge into a long-term capability—strengthening both customer partnerships and internal collaboration.
This is the power of One Novanta: teams working together across boundaries to solve complex problems and deliver lasting impact.
