FPGA Engineer

Overview:

At IMC speed and precision are essential. OurFPGAengineers play a critical role in designing and deploying hardware systems that sit on the absolute front line of tradingprocessing market data making decisions and executing trades in nanoseconds. These systems are custom-built to deliver ultra-low latency and deterministic performance giving us a decisive edge in highly competitive markets. As part of theFPGAteam youll work closely with traders and technologists to build hardware that directly shapes trading outcomes.

Were looking for an exceptionalFPGAEngineer to help us push the limits of performance and redefine whats possible in a competitive technological landscape where the best trading idea alone doesnt cut it anymore. Instead only the best trading ideas that are enabled via robust scalable and fast technology win.

Your Core Responsibilities:

• Architect design and deployFPGA-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.
• Analyse and optimize system performance at every levelfrom transceiver tuning to logic layout.
• Develop and maintain a robust simulation and testing framework to ensure system reliability.
• Monitor and improveFPGAperformance in live trading environments through benchmarking and profiling.
• Explore emerging technologies and bring new ideas to continually sharpen our hardware advantage.

Your Skills and Experience:

• 5 years experience in co-designingFPGAand software systems forcritical applications
• BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or related field.
• Exposure to financial markets exchange protocols (FIX OUCH ITCH)
• Extensive experience withFPGAor 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 withFPGAdevelopment 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)
