About The Position

Join Altera as a FPGA Circuit Design Engineer! The FPGA Circuit Design Engineer designs and develops FPGA circuits and IPs including FPGA core fabric logic, interconnect routing, clocking, configuration, configurable memory blocks, and network on chip. Other responsibilities include but are not limited to: Micro-architects and performs circuit and logic design, schematic entry, simulation, reliability verification, and verifies functionality to optimize FPGA circuits for power, performance, area, timing, and yield goals. Develops models and collaterals for FPGA circuits and IPs to integrate into FPGA hardware and software deliverables including circuit integration specifications, behavioral models, electrical rule checkers, design intent, and timing and power models. Works with microarchitecture, SoC/full chip, IP fabrics and interconnects, RTL design, and verification teams to develop new capabilities around FPGA solutions, design improved programmable logic designs, and deliver faster integration of FPGAs into larger systems.

Requirements

• The candidate must have a Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electronic Engineering or a related field, with 12+ years of FPGA design experience.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic environment that requires a broad range of technical expertise, including logic design, memory design, custom circuit design, SPICE and RV simulations, sign-off reviews, and oversight of physical design activities.
• Solid understanding of hardware VLSI design and advanced process technologies.
