Hardware Engineer (FPGA/ASIC)

About the role

Join Jane Street as a Hardware Engineer working on FPGA and ASIC applications using software and hardware design skills. You'll use OCaml, Hardcaml, Verilog, and C to design and test hardware with a software engineering approach.

Role Responsibilities

• Design and implement new FPGA or ASIC applications from the ground up.
• Extend and refine internal high-level design and testing tools.
• Work primarily with OCaml and Hardcaml for RTL design and testing.
• Use Verilog and C for hardware design and integration tasks.
• Collaborate with the hardware team on FPGA and ASIC projects.
• Apply programming language technology to improve hardware design processes.

Candidate Requirements

• Comfortable with a software programming language.
• Experience with hardware description languages like VHDL, Verilog, Chisel, or Pymtl.
• Familiarity with FPGA or ASIC vendor tools such as Vivado, Quartus, Genus, or Innovus.
• Experience building working hardware projects academically, professionally, or personally.
• Interest in using FPGAs or ASICs in networking contexts.
• Fluent in English and eager to learn and collaborate.

About the Team and Tools

• Hardware team works on FPGA and ASIC designs using Hardcaml, an OCaml library.
• Hardcaml integrates tightly with internal development environments.
• No prior Hardcaml knowledge required; training provided.
• Exposure to foundational libraries and tools used internally.
• Team values intellectual curiosity, humility, and collaboration.
• Focus on software engineering mindset applied to hardware design.
