FPGA Intern

Our formula for success is to hire exceptional people, encourage their ideas and reward their results.

As an FPGA Intern, you will build advanced trading applications leveraging cutting-edge technology. DRW enables our FPGA Interns to develop a real-world trading centric FPGA application under the guidance of senior technologists with the goal of deployment during your ten weeks. While your days will have you immersed in complex projects directly driving DRW’s progress, your evenings will be spent exploring the city with organized social events to truly discover what it is like to live and work in Chicago.

How you will make an impact…

  • Design, develop, test, and deploy proprietary FPGA solutions. Examples include creating:
    • Decoders to receive raw packet data from various exchanges and translate it into a more accessible form
    • Modules which take decoded data and trigger events for specific instruments traded on that exchange
    • Novel FPGA architectures to expand our data processing capabilities
    • Identify innovative solutions to complex problems and advocate for their implementation to your team by communicating your ideas in a clear and concise manner
    • Conduct robust research using all available resources to determine the best solution
    • Collaborate with software developers, quantitative traders, and researchers as well as business analysts in cross-functional team environments

What you bring to the team…

  • Are pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Machine Learning, or any related science discipline and have an expected graduation date between December 2027 and June 2028
  • Have exposure to the FPGA development flow
  • Have strong understanding of data structures, and algorithms
  • An eagerness to learn and apply what you have learned, and to know the impact of your code
  • Have strong problem-solving and analytical reasoning skills
  • Have strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Exhibit excellent development skills in System Verilog, Verilog or VHDL and have a working knowledge of C++ or Python and a deep curiosity to learn and absorb new technologies quickly

What to expect during the internship…

  • Meaningful projects: You’ll receive a challenging project to complete during your time here. Each project, advised by a hardware engineer, promotes a comprehensive learning experience and provides you with meaningful work experience.
  • Community: Throughout the summer, we host a variety of educational, social and team-building activities to foster friendship and camaraderie.
  • Housing: DRW provides fully furnished apartments located close to the office –making your morning commute as easy as possible.
  • Mentorship: You’ll build a professional relationship with an experienced mentor in your field. Mentors and mentees meet to discuss goals, challenges and professional development and explore the city together at our mentor outings.
  • Education: As technology continues to drive the trading industry forward, both in terms of new products and transaction methods, the future will present us with unique opportunities and challenges. To prepare you for how technology will continue to impact trading’s future landscape, you will complete an options course framed from a developer’s standpoint to help you visualize how your technology solutions will be used in real time. As the trading industry continually evolves, both in terms of new products and transaction methods, the future will present us with unique opportunities and challenges.
