Develop reusable FPGA IPs and hardware components for scalable system design.
Collaborate with Software Engineers and System Engineers to integrate FPGA solutions with the overall trading infrastructure.
Debug and validate FPGA designs using simulation, hardware testing, and on-board debugging tools.
Analyze and optimize latency, throughput, resource utilization, and power efficiency.
Participate in architecture discussions and contribute to the evolution of next-generation FPGA platforms.
Maintain design documentation and follow engineering best practices throughout the development lifecycle.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Dual Degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), or a related discipline.
Candidates from IITs and other premier universities are strongly preferred.
2+ years of experience in FPGA design and development.
Strong experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
Experience with FPGA development tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, or equivalent.
Strong understanding of digital logic design, finite state machines, pipelining, and synchronous design principles.
Experience in RTL simulation, timing analysis, and timing closure.
Good understanding of computer architecture and hardware-software interaction.
Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Experience

Candidates should have experience in several of the following:

FPGA development for High Frequency Trading platforms.
High-performance networking and packet processing.
Hardware acceleration for latency-critical applications.
PCIe, Ethernet, DMA, DDR memory interfaces, and high-speed communication protocols.
Market data processing or low-latency networking.
High-speed digital design and signal processing.
