Job Description

In Q4 2023, Intel® announced Altera® will be reported as a separate business unit beginning on January 1, 2024, with ongoing support from Intel®. This position is associated to that standalone business strategy and is expected to fully transition to a standalone company at some time in the future. Altera®, an Intel® company, is hiring. Altera®'s IP Solutions Engineering (IPSE) team develops comprehensive solutions to provide customers easy and efficient access to the capabilities of Intel®'s 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. The IP Cores we develop include Memory Interfaces (such as DDR5, LPDDR5, or HBM), custom chip-to-chip interfaces for high-speed ADC/DAC tiles (for radar processing), and leading-edge transceiver interfaces (to enable Ethernet, PCIe, and other protocols). Altera®'s IP cores provide configurable access to the high-speed, high-bandwidth interfaces, leveraging dedicated and specialized silicon subsystems in the FPGA. The constantly rising speed and complexity of memory devices, chip-to-chip, and transceiver interfaces presents a challenging design problem that requires system level knowledge of silicon, software, IP, and customer applications.

As an IP Design Engineer, you will work with a team of engineers to develop and verify state-of-the-art memory interface, chip-to-chip, or transceiver-based IP cores. You will be working on advanced 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, chip-to-chip, or transceiver interfaces- RTL development- 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

You must possess the below minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Relevant experience can be obtained through schoolwork, classes, project work, internships, and/or military experience. Additional preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
