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 own features and subsystems across design and design verification (DV), from requirements and architecture through implementation, 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 production-quality soft IP and embedded solutions. The role requires independent technical judgment, proactive risk management, and the ability to influence execution across teams and sites.

Key Responsibilities

Design and architecture

• Translate system, product, and customer-use-case requirements into clear architecture proposals, technical specifications, interface definitions, and acceptance criteria.
• 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.
• Account for area, timing, throughput, latency, power, clocking, reset, CDC/RDC, resource utilization, and maintainability trade-offs.
• Support embedded-system bring-up and debug across the FPGA fabric, HPS/Nios V, firmware, drivers, board interfaces, and customer applications.
