FPGA IP Software Development Engineer

Job Description: Altera is enabling the future of programmable solutions that power innovation across AI, cloud, communications, industrial, aerospace, and defense applications. We are looking for a talented FPGA IP Software Development Engineer to join our engineering team and help develop next-generation FPGA-based platforms and embedded solutions.

Position Summary As an FPGA IP Software Development Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, integrating, validating, and debugging FPGA-based systems for embedded, networking, and acceleration applications. This role is primarily focused on FPGA RTL development and system integration, including PCIe, High-Speed Interfaces (HPS), External Memory Interfaces (EMIF), and Ethernet IPs.

You will work closely with hardware and software teams on FPGA HW/SW co-development, system bring-up, debugging, and optimization of complex FPGA-based products, including SmartNICs, embedded platforms interacting with GPU and ARM HPS-based solutions.

The ideal candidate has strong FPGA design expertise, experience integrating complex IP subsystems, and an interest in collaborating across hardware and software domains.

Key Responsibilities

FPGA Design & Integration

• Design, develop, integrate, and validate RTL for FPGA-based systems and platforms.
• Implement and integrate FPGA subsystems various I/0 Technologies (PCIe, EMIF, Ethernet & networking IPs) and on-board ARM Hard Processor Systems (HPS)
• Support FPGA system architecture, performance optimization, and debug activities.

HW/SW Co-Development

• Collaborate with software and application teams on FPGA HW/SW co-design and integration.
• Support board bring-up, system-level validation, and debugging.
• Develop software abstractions, drivers, and frameworks that enable FPGA acceleration solutions.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to optimize end-to-end system performance.
