What is an FPGA internship?

An FPGA internship is a temporary position designed to provide hands-on experience in Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development. Interns typically work with hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL or Verilog to design, simulate, and test digital circuits. They may also assist in system integration, debugging, and optimizing FPGA-based designs. These internships are common in industries like telecommunications, aerospace, and embedded systems, offering valuable practical skills for aspiring hardware engineers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an FPGA intern?

To thrive in an FPGA Internship, you should have a solid understanding of digital logic design, hardware description languages (such as VHDL or Verilog), and a background in electrical engineering or a related field. Experience with FPGA development tools like Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus, and familiarity with simulation and debugging environments are highly valuable. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and willingness to learn make candidates stand out in this role. These skills are crucial for effectively contributing to real-world hardware projects, troubleshooting complex issues, and working collaboratively with engineering teams.

What are the typical daily tasks and responsibilities for an FPGA intern?

As an FPGA intern, your daily tasks may include writing and testing hardware description language (HDL) code, assisting with the integration and simulation of various FPGA modules, and participating in debugging sessions with experienced engineers. You may also help with documentation, hardware prototyping, and validation of new features or project requirements. Collaboration with other team members, including software and hardware engineers, is common as you work together to develop and optimize embedded systems solutions. These hands-on responsibilities provide valuable exposure to the FPGA development lifecycle and help build a solid foundation for a career in hardware design.

Job description

As an FPGA Engineer, you'll work side-by-side with teammates to build real-world applications that power a global trading firm. You'll create solutions with nanosecond response times, highly parallelized algorithms, and customized low-level networking that solve business challenges effectively and efficiently. Collaborating closely with our business, you'll have in-depth insight into a problem before developing the solution.
Optiver is building with cutting edge AI technology in the most competitive, data rich landscapes in the world: financial markets. That means no two days are the same, and every day brings new, exciting technical challenges to solve.
What you'll do
Your onboarding
In the first eight weeks, you will participate in Optiver's comprehensive Global Academy and be equipped with the knowledge needed to make an impact the moment you join your team. The comprehensive training covers trading theory and Optiver's tech stack to hone your skills for your role. In addition, you will be paired with a dedicated mentor who will empower you to take ownership of your work and make a difference at the firm.
Your responsibilities
  • Accelerate network infrastructure and trading system components with high-speed hardware designs.
  • Research new low-latency techniques and platforms and identify opportunities for integration with our trading system.
  • Collaborate in a multidisciplinary team of traders, software developers, and infrastructure engineers.
  • Leverage the best hardware available or build in-house versions to ensure our FPGAs can interface with cutting-edge server hardware.

What you'll get
You'll join a culture of collaboration and excellence, surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem-solvers. Motivated by a passion for continuous improvement, you'll thrive in a supportive, high-performing environment alongside talented colleagues, collectively tackling some of the toughest challenges in the financial markets.
In addition, you'll receive:
  • The opportunity to work alongside best-in-class professionals from over 40 different countries
  • Highly competitive compensation package
  • Global profit-sharing pool and performance-based bonus structure
  • 401(k) match up to 50%
  • Comprehensive health, mental, dental, vision, disability, and life coverage
  • 25 paid vacation days alongside market holidays
  • Extensive office perks, including breakfast, lunch and snacks, regular social events, clubs, sporting leagues and more

Who you are:
  • A student pursuing a bachelor's, master's, or PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or another related field
  • On track to graduate between December 2026 to June 2027
  • A student with strong engineering instincts and hands-on experience in digital design with FPGAs or ASICs
  • Experienced in writing hardware in VHDL, Verilog, or System Verilog
  • Passionate for writing clean code, well-architected systems, and continuous improvement
  • A collaborative teammate comfortable working with developers, traders and business teams

Who we are:
Optiver is a leading technology- and research-driven trading firm. Our teams of scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and traders work side by side to develop, test, and scale ideas that shape how we understand and trade global markets. Powered by a global platform built for rapid experimentation and iteration, we combine the scientific rigor of a research institution with the pace of a technology company.
