Design Verification (DV) Engineer

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.

These high performance designs require even higher performance verification. We are looking for experienced Design Verification (DV) engineers who are skilled at writing testbenches and building verification environments to exercise complex HDL. Our ideal candidate is not only an ace tester, but a practicing toolsmith. You know the EDA landscape and want to be part of a team actively working to rethink, redesign, and surpass the status quo. For example, members of our team are active maintainers of popular open source projects such as Slang, Verilator, and Cocotb.
