Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland IC Resources Full-time €70,000 - €110,000 Contract

Develop FPGA technology where every nanosecond can directly impact performance. We are supporting a leading financial technology company whose hardware engineering team builds the FPGA and ASIC systems at the heart of a global low-latency trading platform. They are looking for an FPGA Engineer to join their team in Dublin.

Owning designs from specification through to live deployment, you’ll develop RTL for new low‑latency applications while working alongside a small, highly technical international team. The role combines digital design, verification, and hardware deployment, giving you responsibility for technology operating within real‑world production environments.

Alongside developing new FPGA functionality, you’ll help improve simulation, build, and verification infrastructure while working with high‑speed networking and data interfaces. No previous financial or trading experience is required, making this an opportunity to move into high‑frequency trading from another performance‑critical industry.

They are looking for an FPGA Engineer with the following background:

  • 2+ years of professional FPGA or ASIC experience
  • Strong RTL development using SystemVerilog or VHDL
  • Experience with FPGA/ASIC verification, including cocotb
  • Knowledge of AMD/Xilinx, Synopsys, or Cadence toolchains
  • Experience with high‑speed interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, AXI, MAC or PHY
  • Strong digital design and problem‑solving skills

Experience with Python, C++, TCP/UDP, packet processing, hardware protocol offloading, or ASIC physical design would be advantageous.
