FPGA Engineer

A leading quantitative trading firm is seeking an FPGA Engineer to join its crown-jewel trading desk as a specialist working on FPGA for their trading strategies. This role offers the opportunity to work on FPGA-based solutions that power high-performance, ultra-low-latency trading systems. Working alongside experienced engineers, you will contribute to the design, simulation, verification, and validation of hardware modules in a highly collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Assist in the development and maintenance of synthesizable SystemVerilog code for FPGA-based applications.
• Build and maintain comprehensive testbenches to verify hardware functionality and performance.
• Execute simulations, debug logic issues, and analyze waveform data to ensure design correctness.
• Develop Python-based automation tools and test scripts to improve validation and verification workflows.
• Support hardware deployments by analyzing real-time system data to identify design issues, timing concerns, and edge cases.
• Document design implementations, verification results, and testing procedures.
• Collaborate closely with senior engineers throughout the hardware development lifecycle.

Requirements

• At least year of FPGA design experience working on the full life-cycle.
• Knowledge of SystemVerilog or Verilog for hardware design and verification.
• Experience using simulation and debugging tools such as ModelSim, Questa, or Vivado Simulator.
• Proficiency with Python for automation, scripting, and data analysis.
• Understanding of digital design fundamentals including synchronous logic, state machines, clock domain crossing, and FIFO architectures.
• Interest in financial technology, quantitative trading, or performance-critical systems is preferred.
