Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Westbury Partners Full time $120,000 - $200,000 per year

Our Client is a market leading innovative technology house that has operations in all continents round the globe. They are a renowned global employer of choice that provides one of the greatest working environments available in technology combined with the financial benefits of working in and around trading.

What You'll Do:

As an FPGA Engineer at the forefront of high-speed trading, you'll design and deploy cutting-edge hardware systems that operate in nanoseconds. Your work will directly influence real-time trading outcomes by enabling ultra-low latency market data processing and execution logic.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Architecting FPGA-based systems for parsing market data and executing trades
  • Translating strategy requirements into hardware logic alongside traders and devs
  • Analyzing and optimizing performance from transceivers to logic layout
  • Building robust simulation and testing environments for reliability
  • Monitoring real-time performance and refining designs through profiling
  • Researching and implementing emerging technologies for continuous edge

Why Join Us:

You'll be joining a highly collaborative and innovative team that doesn't just value speed, but precision, robustness, and elegant engineering. Work in an environment where trading success is defined not just by ideas, but by the technology that enables them. You'll have access to world-class tools, systems, and mentorship as you contribute to next-gen trading infrastructure.

About You:

  • 5+ years' experience in FPGA design, preferably in trading or high-speed systems
  • Strong background in Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog
  • Skilled in Python, C++, or C for co-design and system integration
  • Deep understanding of digital design concepts including pipelining and CDC
  • Familiarity with exchange protocols (FIX, OUCH, ITCH)
  • Comfortable with Vivado, Quartus, or Synplify toolchains
  • Knowledge of Ethernet, TCP, UDP and low-latency networking techniques
  • Passionate about innovation and performance tuning
  • Where Precision Meets Speed

This is more than hardware—it's trading at the speed of light. If you're driven to build systems where every nanosecond counts, and thrive in a high-performance culture where collaboration and innovation are king, this is your next challenge.
