Embedded Systems and IP Engineer 

Job Description: Altera’s Software, IP and Solutions (SIPS) organization develops configurable intellectual property and embedded solutions that enable customers to use the capabilities of Altera FPGA devices efficiently and reliably. We are looking for an Embedded Systems and IP Engineer to take technical ownership of assigned features or substantial components across design and design verification (DV), from requirements and implementation through validation, documentation, and release. The ideal candidate possesses strong embedded-systems knowledge with hands-on RTL design and verification expertise. You will work across hardware, firmware, drivers, software, and customer-use-case boundaries to deliver high-quality soft IP and embedded solutions. The role requires sound technical judgment, systematic problem-solving, and the ability to coordinate execution across teams and sites.

Key Responsibilities

Design and architecture

• Translate system, product, and customer-use-case requirements into detailed design inputs, interface definitions, and acceptance criteria; contribute to architecture proposals with guidance from senior engineers.
• Design, implement, integrate, and debug synthesizable RTL using Verilog and SystemVerilog for FPGA soft IP and embedded systems.
• Develop and maintain associated collateral, including register descriptions, constraints, integration guidance, simulation models, design examples, and technical documentation.
• Integrate and configure IP and subsystems using Quartus, Platform Designer, Visual Designer Studio, or equivalent FPGA design flows.
• Consider area, timing, throughput, latency, power, clocking, reset, CDC/RDC, resource utilization, and maintainability trade-offs; identify and escalate technical risks early.
• Support embedded-system bring-up and debug across the FPGA fabric, HPS/Nios V, firmware, drivers, board interfaces, and customer applications.
