FPGA IP Software Development Engineer

Job Details:

Job Description:

Altera's IP Systems and Solutions Engineering (IPSS) team develops comprehensive solutions to provide customers easy and efficient access to the capabilities of Altera FPGA devices. These solutions are provided as highly configurable intellectual-property (IP) cores that are fully integrated with Altera's software CAD tool, Quartus Prime. External memory interfaces (EMIF) such as DDR5/LP5, Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) PHY solutions such as MIPI-DPHY/MIPI-CPHY, and high-speed source-synchronous IO interfaces are an important category for such IP cores. Applications such as AI, video processing, networking, storage and chip-to-chip communication make such IP cores a necessary component of any modern electronic system.

As an FPGA IP Design Engineer, you will work with a team of engineers to develop and verify state-of-the-art IP cores for memory and high-speed IO and video interfaces. You will be solving challenging design problems requiring system level knowledge of Silicon IC design, software, IP, and customer applications. You will be working on leading-edge device architectures, design definition, implementation, and verification. You will also be developing design examples and simulation models, accompanied by a rich set of technical documentation.

Your specific responsibilities will include, but are not limited to the following:

• Architecture and Design based on the latest protocol specifications for memory, high-speed IO and video/camera interfaces

• Device support and CAD tool integration

• Verification (e.g. verification IP, methodologies, frameworks, bus functional models, regression tests)

• Hardware power-on and debug

• New product release and rollout support

• Customer technical support

The candidate should possess the following behavioral traits:

• Strong skills in communication, initiative, innovation, and teamwork

• Highly motivated to learn and adapt to fast-changing technologies and environments

• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail

• Demonstrate fundamental values such as accountability, integrity, and a winning mindset

• Collaborative mindset, strong influencing skills, and a willingness to work across geographical locations

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

• 9+ years of experience in FPGA design, IP development, or related hardware engineering roles

• Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in a relevant discipline is a plus
