About the role

Hudson River Trading (HRT) is seeking a Senior Hardware Product Manager to design and engineer the hardware product lines across our global trading environment. The ideal candidate is a well-rounded engineer – someone who knows finite element analysis, thermodynamics, measurement and instrumentation, manages projects, negotiates fiercely with vendors, and still geeks out over the best way to route DLC piping through a chassis. If you get a thrill from driving projects with diverse requirements to achieve an elegant hardware design, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

  • Gather requirements directly from trading teams, drive system designs, overhaul underperforming components and designs, and retire legacy lines.
  • Understand board, server, and rack design, and connect that to the datacenter.
  • Prototype and lab-test product lines and deliver them to production.
  • Manage relationships with ODM and JDM partners and hold them accountable to delivery milestones through the full lifecycle of board and server designs.
  • Bridge between requirements and deliverables.
  • Speak the hardware layer's language (PCIe topology, air and coolant flows, voltage and signal integrity) and connect that to the network, OS, and application layers.

What you'll get

  • $200k–$300k base salary
  • a competitive benefits package
