Job summary

Two Sigma is seeking a hardware-oriented intern for an FPGA-focused program in New York's Soho office. You will design, simulate, and test digital logic for FPGA-based systems and contribute to RTL components and verification environments.

You will gain hands-on experience with synthesis, timing analysis, and FPGA workflows while collaborating with hardware, software, networking, and quantitative teams. The ten-week internship culminates in a final project presentation.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Completed coursework or projects in digital logic, computer architecture, embedded systems, computer networking or a related area.
• Familiarity with a hardware-description language such as SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL.
• Basic programming experience in Python, C, C++, or a similar language.
• Understanding of foundational digital-design concepts, including combinational and sequential logic, finite-state machines, pipelining, and clocked circuits.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Interest in learning FPGA development, verification, computer networking, and low-latency systems.
• Experience through coursework, labs, research, student teams, or personal projects; prior professional hardware experience is not required.

Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, and test digital logic for FPGA-based systems with support from experienced engineers.
• Contribute to reusable RTL components and verification environments.
• Write tests and debugging tools using SystemVerilog, Python, or similar languages.
• Use simulation and waveform-analysis tools to investigate functional and performance issues.
• Gain hands‑on experience with synthesis, timing analysis, and FPGA implementation workflows.
• Explore hardware‑software interfaces and help integrate components into larger systems.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, networking, and quantitative teams.
• Document your work and present your findings to the team.
