We are looking for a passionate and energetic software engineer to join our team at Altera®. Altera is the pioneer of programmable logic solutions, enabling system and semiconductor companies to rapidly and cost effectively innovate, differentiate and win in their markets. Altera combines the programmable logic technology with software tools, intellectual property, and customer support to provide high-value programmable solutions to many customers worldwide.
In this role, you will be researching/designing/developing/optimizing software for Quartus, the compiler that programs all current/next generation of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices.
Quartus is used by all FPGA acceleration technologies (including High Level Synthesis, FPGA AI Suite, DSP Builder, etc)
At the heart of Quartus is our Place and Route engine which is responsible for transforming HDL to bits such that a user's design is optimized for area and Fmax
Cross-functional interactions with various customers (internal and external)
Best of both worlds, hardware and software:
Customer's hardware requirements: Fmax, throughput, timing closure and area
Compiler SW optimizations: runtime and memory, including abstractions and frameworks for acceleration with the FPGA for domains such as deep learning, DSP algorithms, or data analytics
As part of the Quartus team, your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
Developing software support for successful routing of the latest next generation FPGA devices
Owning various modules of the compiler from device modeling to timing closure to runtime
Implementing new features in addition to root-causing and fixing the existing ones, while maneuvering your way through a big code base
BS Degree with 2+ years of experience or MS Degree with 1+ years of experience in Computer Engineering, Engineering Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent.
3+ years C/C++ programming experience in a Linux/Unix environment.
