FPGA Engineer

Overview

Join a leading financial technology firm in Dublin dedicated to developing cutting-edge FPGA and ASIC hardware solutions powering a global, low-latency trading platform. As an FPGA Engineer, you will take full ownership of FPGA designs from initial specifications through to live deployment, contributing critical technology that drives performance measured in nanoseconds.

Responsibilities

You will design RTL for innovative, low-latency applications and work collaboratively within a compact, highly skilled international team. This role involves a blend of digital design, verification, and hardware deployment tasks, holding direct responsibility over technology operating in active production systems. Additionally, you will enhance simulation, build processes, and verification infrastructure, engaging with high-speed networking and data interface technologies.

Requirements

• At least two years of professional experience in FPGA or ASIC engineering
• Proficiency in RTL design using SystemVerilog or VHDL
• Familiarity with FPGA/ASIC verification methodologies, including cocotb
• Hands-on experience with AMD/Xilinx, Synopsys, or Cadence toolchains
• Knowledge of high-speed data interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, AXI, MAC, or PHY
• Strong digital design aptitude combined with excellent problem-solving skills

Desirable qualifications include experience in Python, C++, TCP/UDP protocols, packet processing, hardware protocol offloading, or ASIC physical design.

Additional Information

No prior experience in financial trading is required, providing an excellent opportunity for engineers from other performance-critical industries to transition into high-frequency trading technology.
