Job Description

FPGA Engineer | Electronic Trading | New York / London

I’m working with a quantitative trading firm looking to add an experienced FPGA Engineer to their technology team.

The role sits closely alongside developers and traders, with responsibility for designing, implementing and optimising FPGA solutions used within a high-performance trading environment.

The role:

• Design and implement FPGA applications from the ground up

• RTL design, synthesis, place & route and static timing analysis

• Develop and maintain robust FPGA testing infrastructure

• Work on software integration, APIs and hardware/software interfaces

• Solve complex FPGA, hardware and software limitations

• Work closely with developers and trading teams

• Opportunity to take ownership of significant FPGA applications over time

What they're looking for:

• 5+ years' commercial FPGA engineering experience

• Strong VHDL and Python
