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.
FPGAs and ASICs are critical pieces of our technology stack. We are looking for talented hardware developers to architect and design complex systems on a highly collaborative global team. In this role, you'll identify efficient ways to perform on-the-fly transformations of market data and implement models with complex data structures in RTL. You’ll work with FPGA, ASIC, or both technologies as a member of our integrated team. No previous financial experience is necessary!

- In your spare time you: code, tinker, read, explore, break things, and have an insatiable curiosity for all things hardware-related
- You do your best work when contributing to a highly collaborative team
- You can describe hardware designs at a high level (the interface), low level (step-by-step algorithm/circuit), or anywhere in between
- You can analyze and fix problems quickly
- You really like to work with people who challenge you and make you better at what you do
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, with eligibility for full-time employment in 2026
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog
- Deep knowledge of FPGA internals and/or ASIC primitives
- Excellent digital logic design, optimization, debugging and problem solving skills
- Thorough understanding of computer architecture and vendor tool suites
- Familiarity with C++ and/or Python
- Comfortable working in a Linux environment
- Previous internship experience in digital logic design
- Expertise in networking protocols, CPU design, and/or machine learning accelerators is a big plus
