Job Description:

Hardware Engineers at Optiver build hardware-based trading systems ranging from low latency algorithms to high bandwidth computation. They are responsible for owning all aspects of the development process from ideation to implementation creating bespoke solutions to our complex trading problems. Their systems have little room for failure which add to the stability of the market, not detract from it. Working in close collaboration with software engineers and traders, hardware engineers deeply understand our trading problems and create dynamic, well-architected systems that make an impact in a matter of days and weeks rather than months and years.

Job Responsibility:

  • Accelerate network infrastructure and trading system components with high-speed hardware designs
  • Research new low-latency techniques and platforms and identify opportunities for integration with our trading system
  • Work in a multidisciplinary team of traders, software developers, and infrastructure engineers
  • Leverage the best hardware available or build in-house versions to ensure our FPGAs can interface with cutting edge server hardware
  • Manage relationships with 3rd party vendors

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in CE, EE, CS, or related technical field
  • Experience designing, coding, testing, and verifying FPGAs and/or ASICs
  • Experience coding in VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog as well as C or C++
  • Experience with RTL synthesis, writing timing, area, and other relevant constraints
  • Experience with digital simulators and self-checking test benches
  • Ability to work closely with software developers to rapidly deliver integrated systems

Nice to have:

Experience supporting post-silicon bring-up and debugging a plus

What we offer:
  • Opportunity to work alongside best-in-class professionals from over 40 different countries
  • Highly competitive compensation package
  • Global profit-sharing pool and performance-based bonus structure
  • 401(k) match up to 50%
  • Comprehensive health, mental, dental, vision, disability, and life coverage
  • 25 paid vacation days alongside market holidays
  • Extensive office perks, including breakfast, lunch and snacks, regular social events, clubs, sporting leagues and more
