Senior — typically requires 8+ years of FPGA or ASIC architecture, design, and development experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with Quantitative Researchers and Strategy Developers to translate requirements into FPGA hardware designs.
• Architect and design boards and key functional blocks; make hardware selection decisions.
• Implement solutions from board-level RTL to API and integrate into production environments.
• Simulate, verify, and test FPGA designs; iterate to improve performance and reliability.
• Support deployment, monitoring, and performance tuning in a low-latency trading environment.

Requirements

Must-have and useful skills for this role.

• Must-have: 8+ years of experience in FPGA or ASIC architecture, design, and development using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
• Must-have: Proven ability to design, simulate, and test FPGA-based systems and deliver production-quality hardware solutions.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with high-speed interfaces such as Ethernet and PCIe.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with high-level software languages (C#, C, Java).
• Nice-to-have: Prior experience in trading or finance is helpful but not required.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related discipline, or foreign equivalent. Equivalent practical experience may be considered.
