AMS - 2026 - Graduate Hardware Engineer

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Your IMC journey as a Graduate Hardware Engineer will begin with a five-week Global Trainee Programme led by our seasoned engineers and traders alongside graduates from all three IMC regions: Europe, the United States, and Asia-Pacific. Your training will continue back at your local office, where you’ll receive support from your dedicated mentor, an experienced software engineer at IMC. It’s about much more than just writing code: you’ll gain insight into IMC’s field-programmable gate array (FPGA) development process, get to know IMC’s unique business model and build valuable connections with our trading and technology teams.

 

YOUR CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Enhance your knowledge of FPGAs by working with the latest technology and writing fluent code
  • Take part in regular pair programming and peer reviews
  • Be an integral part of your team by helping to identify, implement and validate changes to IMC’s hardware
  • Attend workshops, trainings, and other fun social activities alongside the full internship cohort

 

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES 

  • In your penultimate year of study in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering degree or a related field, graduating in 2026
  • Familiarity with a hardware descriptive language (VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog). Additionally, proficiency in a software programming language would be advantageous (C++ or Python preferred)
  • You thrive working in an environment where creativity, teamwork, and innovation are recognised and rewarded
  • You want to make an impact on meaningful and challenging projects
  • Outstanding analytical skills and a desire to solve complicated problems programmatically
  • Genuine interest in financial markets (no prior knowledge or experience is required)
  • Must be available to start in either February or August 2026

 

Please note: If you have already applied for this position during the current recruitment season and were not selected, you may reapply when the next recruitment season begins in September 2026. We encourage you to focus on enhancing your skillset before reapplying.

If you are currently residing or attending university outside of Russia, Belarus, Iran or Ukraine, and have existing work authorisation in the Netherlands or are eligible to work without sponsorship, we encourage you to apply and inform our campus recruitment team of your situation: CampusEU@imc.com.
