About the Role
We are seeking an exceptional FPGA Engineer to push the limits of performance and redefine what's possible in a competitive technological landscape. Your work will involve designing and deploying hardware systems for ultra-low latency trading, processing market data, making decisions, and executing trades in nanoseconds. You will collaborate closely with traders and technologists to build hardware that directly shapes trading outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Architect, design, and deploy FPGA-based solutions for parsing market data and executing trades with ultra-low latency.
- Collaborate with traders and developers to translate strategy requirements into real-time hardware logic.
- Analyze and optimize system performance at every level—from transceiver tuning to logic layout.
- Develop and maintain a robust simulation and testing framework to ensure system reliability.
- Monitor and improve FPGA performance in live trading environments through benchmarking and profiling.
- Explore emerging technologies and bring new ideas to continually sharpen our hardware advantage.
Requirements
- 3+ years’ experience in financial markets, exchange protocols (FIX, OUCH, ITCH), or co-designing FPGA and software systems.
- Extensive experience with FPGA or ASIC technologies, including proficiency in either VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
- Strong engineering skills in Python, C++ or C.
- Solid understanding of digital design principles, including pipelining, flow control, and clock domain crossing.
- Experience with FPGA development tools and toolchains (Vivado, Quartus, Synplify, etc.).
- Proven ability to optimize for low latency and high throughput in production systems.
- Familiarity with networking protocols (e.g., Ethernet, TCP, UDP).
