Hardware Design Engineer (ASIC / FPGA / RTL)
Chicago, IL (Relocation Available)
We're hiring Hardware Design Engineers to help build the next generation of custom hardware powering one of the world's most performance-sensitive technology environments.
This team develops proprietary ASIC and FPGA-based systems that sit at the core of a highly optimized production platform where latency, throughput, reliability, and performance matter. Engineers are given significant ownership, work alongside elite hardware and software engineers, and contribute directly to technology that impacts real-world trading outcomes every day.
Unlike highly specialized hardware organizations, engineers here are exposed to the full design lifecycle and are encouraged to contribute across architecture, RTL development, verification, system integration, and tooling.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline
2+ years of full-time professional experience in ASIC, FPGA, RTL, digital design, or hardware engineering roles following completion of your degree
Strong RTL development experience using SystemVerilog or Verilog
Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals
Experience working with complex digital systems and multi-clock-domain environments
Understanding of clock-domain crossing concepts and timing fundamentals
Familiarity with Ethernet and networking fundamentals
Experience with Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages
Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills
Ability to work effectively in highly collaborative engineering environments
Preferred Qualifications
ASIC development experience
FPGA development experience
Experience with high-speed networking systems
Understanding of PMA, SERDES, or related technologies
Experience building verification frameworks and automation tools
C++ development experience
Experience working on low-latency or performance-sensitive systems
Background in custom hardware, networking, datacenter infrastructure, or distributed systems
Why Join
Build custom hardware that directly impacts production systems
Work alongside some of the strongest hardware engineers in the industry
Gain exposure across ASIC, FPGA, RTL, networking, and systems engineering
Broad technical ownership rather than narrow specialization
Relocation support available for candidates moving to Chicago
Competitive compensation and long-term career growth opportunities
This role is ideal for engineers who want to work on complex hardware challenges, own meaningful technical decisions, and contribute to systems where performance truly matters.
