The Hardware team at Hudson River Trading (HRT) creates high performance compute engines using FPGA and ASIC technology to drive low latency trading decisions on global markets. We build custom solutions across the spectrum of speed and smarts: from bespoke circuits to world-class machine learning accelerators.

These high performance designs require even higher performance verification. We are looking for experienced Design Verification (DV) engineers who are skilled at writing testbenches and building verification environments to exercise complex HDL. Our ideal candidate is not only an ace tester, but a practicing toolsmith. You know the EDA landscape and want to be part of a team actively working to rethink, redesign, and surpass the status quo. For example, members of our team are active maintainers of popular open source projects such as Slang, Verilator, and Cocotb.

FPGA and ASIC verification is part of an innovative, growing team at HRT which is integral to the success of our trading. You can expect to always be challenged by the ever-changing financial markets as you work to ensure correctness and robustness of our critical hardware in an extremely fast-paced, real-time environment. No financial experience is necessary.

Palpable Score

75
/ 100
Hudson River Trading offers strong early-career access for a selective trading firm, with clear student pathways and internships that map to real technical work. Hudson River Trading is unusually transparent about the software engineering interview format, but the broader candidate experience still looks demanding and feedback and timing expectations are not publicly guaranteed. Learning signals are strong, while pay transparency and published early-career outcomes are limited.
