FPGA Developer
We are seeking a highly skilled FPGA Engineer to join our expanding High-Frequency Trading team. In this role, you will be at the forefront of financial technology, working on cutting-edge hardware solutions that power our ultra-low-latency trading systems. As a member of our expert team, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing FPGA-based systems to improve trading performance, reduce latency, and increase throughput. This is a unique opportunity to combine your expertise in hardware engineering with the fast-paced world of financial markets. You will play a critical role in developing the infrastructure that underpins our competitive advantage, working collaboratively with software engineers, quantitative researchers, and traders to deliver high-performance, reliable solutions.
Key responsibilities include designing, developing, and optimizing FPGA-based solutions for ultra-low-latency trading systems. You will work closely with software developers to integrate FPGA solutions into broader system architectures and implement hardware-accelerated solutions for protocol parsing, order entry, and market data processing. Additionally, you will perform timing analysis, timing closures, resource optimization, and latency measurements to ensure peak performance. Collaborating with traders and researchers to identify opportunities and monitoring and troubleshooting system performance in a live trading environment are also essential aspects of this role.
The ideal candidate will possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog is required, along with experience with FPGA design tools such as Xilinx Vivado or Altera Quartus. Familiarity with FPGA debugging tools like ILA, SignalTap, or Chipscope, as well as simulation tools like Questa or ModelSim, is essential. Additional programming and scripting skills in Tcl, C++, or Python are a bonus. Experience with peripheral integration (10G PHY/MAC, PCIe) and custom network stack implementations (TCP/UDP) is also desirable.
We offer great challenges with fast feedback loops and top-notch analytics, a welcoming group of highly qualified international professionals, and cutting-edge hardware and technology. You can work remotely from anywhere in the world and access any of our global offices anytime. We provide a flexible schedule, 40 paid days off, and a competitive salary.
