Senior FPGA Engineer – Amsterdam

A high-frequency trading firm in Amsterdam is hiring an FPGA Engineer to build and optimise hardware-based trading systems. This is a hands-on role with full ownership across the FPGA development lifecycle, working closely with software engineers and traders to deliver low-latency, production-grade solutions.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and implement FPGA solutions for latency-critical and high-throughput trading workloads

  • Own delivery end-to-end: architecture → RTL → verification → synthesis/implementation → timing closure

  • Build robust verification using self-checking testbenches and simulation-driven workflows

  • Work with software engineers on interfaces and integrated system delivery

  • Support deployment, bring-up, and debugging (post-silicon experience is a plus)

 

Technologies:

  • VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog (C/C++ is a plus)

  • RTL synthesis and constraints (timing, area, and performance targets)

  • Digital simulation and verification toolchains

  • Timing closure and optimisation for deterministic performance

 

Your Profile:

  • Master’s degree in CE, EE, CS, or related technical field

  • Professional experience designing, coding, testing, and verifying FPGAs and/or ASICs

  • Strong RTL fundamentals and experience with synthesis + constraints

  • Experience with digital simulators and self-checking testbenches

  • Comfortable working closely with software developers to deliver integrated systems

  • Bonus: post-silicon bring-up and debugging
