About Exegy Exegy is a global leader in intelligent market data, advanced trading systems, and future-proof technology. Exegy serves as a trusted partner to the complete ecosystem of the buy-side, sell-side, exchanges, and financial services technology firms around the globe. Headquartered in St. Louis with regional offices in North America, the UK/Europe and Asia Pacific, Exegy has the global footprint to deliver world-class support and managed services to its customer base of elite financial market participants. Job Summary Exegy’s FPGA engineering team creates and maintains ultra-low-latency FPGA HDL building blocks and network IP cores used across Exegy products and within the nxFramework Firmware Development Kit (FDK). These components support hardware-accelerated applications for leading financial institutions operating in performance-sensitive trading environments. The Senior FPGA Designer is a hands-on technical contributor responsible for designing, implementing, verifying, and optimizing complex FPGA solutions. You will work across the full development lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through RTL development, timing closure, board-level validation, test automation, and production support. You will also provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers and partner with FPGA Architects, software engineers, product teams, and solution teams to deliver maintainable, high-performance designs. Responsibilities - Design, develop, and maintain high-performance FPGA logic and reusable HDL building blocks for ultra-low-latency applications - Translate product and technical requirements into detailed FPGA designs, interfaces, implementation plans, and verification strategies - Develop and review RTL using VHDL and/or Verilog, with a strong focus on latency, throughput, resource utilization, scalability, and maintainability - Own significant portions of the FPGA development lifecycle, including simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis and closure, hardware bring-up, board-level testing, and release support - Implement and enhance networking and system protocol components such as TCP, UDP, Ethernet MAC/PCS, PCIe, and DMA at multiple speeds - Create and maintain automated test environments, unit tests, regression suites, coverage metrics, and hardware validation tools using Python and related technologies - Diagnose complex design, timing, integration, and performance issues across FPGA, hardware, firmware, and software boundaries - Conduct peer design and code reviews and help establish consistent engineering practices for quality, documentation, testing, and version control - Collaborate with FPGA Architects to evaluate design tradeoffs and ensure implementations align with broader platform architecture and long-term product direction - Mentor FPGA Engineers, share technical knowledge, and contribute to onboarding and development of team members - Partner with product and solution teams to understand customer and business needs, propose practical technical solutions, and communicate risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs - Monitor developments in FPGA devices, toolchains, networking technologies, and low-latency design techniques and recommend improvements to the team’s technology and methods Our Ideal Candidate Has: - Degree in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline - Typically 5 or more years of professional FPGA design and development experience, including ownership of complex designs through implementation and hardware validation - Advanced proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog and the ability to assess RTL for correctness, performance, maintainability, and resource efficiency - Strong understanding of the complete FPGA development flow, including simulation, synthesis, constraints, static timing analysis, timing closure, place-and-route, and on-board debugging - Experience developing high-
