This firm is seeking an experienced FPGA Engineer to join their existing team and be responsible for the research, design, and implementation of FPGA solutions, to develop ultra-low latency trading systems.They have a small and highly experienced development team that is working on new FPGA designs in a hardware description language, performing timing analysis, validating and debugging designs for errors and efficiency.
Duties Include:
- Work with team on development and implementation of proprietary hardware trading systems from concept to production.
- Create digital design and verification to maximize the efficiency and performance to process vast amounts of data across the trading systems.
- Be involved in the design of ultra low latency, high throughput FPGA based custom financial trading systems to accelerate algorithmic trade signal generation and order execution.
- The fast turn around and immediate feedback of operating designs, as well as evaluating latency and throughput.
Requirements include:
- 3+ years in FPGA design, including the full FPGA design lifecycle including hardware architecture, RTL coding, simulation, system integration, hardware validation and testing.
- Experience with Altera design software is a plus, but experience with Xilinx design software is also a plus.
- Experienced and well-versed in the System Verilog and VHDL (System Verilog, Verilog, C, Bash, or Makefile).
- Experience building digital systems for a variety of domains including wired/wireless communications; experience with trading; and computational finance is highly desired.
- Familiar with FPGA synthesis tools and static timing analysis are desirable but not required.
- Familiar with the principles of the construction of automated, self-checking, directed random test benches.
- Familiarity with the use of on-chip debugging tools such as Altera’s SignalTap or Xilinx’s ChipScope is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with C language for incorporation of software modeling features.
- Must have strong problem solving skills, be adaptable, and be team oriented.
- Financial expertise is NOT necessary.
Education:
- Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science; Masters Degree preferred.
