As an independent company, we move faster, invest deeper, and partner more closely—empowering our teams to drive breakthrough innovation and shape the future of the FPGA industry. Join Altera's IP solutions team and work on cutting edge FPGA RTL and IP design! Our team develops comprehensive solutions to provide customers easy and productive access to the capabilities of Altera’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 ever‑growing demand for faster and higher‑density memories - especially in the data center and machine learning sectors - presents a challenging design problem that requires system‑level knowledge of silicon, software, IP, and customer applications. You will work with a team of engineers to develop and verify state‑of‑the‑art firmware algorithms for calibrating and training DDR5, LPDDR5, and future DDR and LPDDR memories.

You will be working on advanced FPGA architectures, design definition, implementation, and verification of this firmware. In this role, you will work closely with multiple teams, including silicon design, pre‑and post‑silicon validation,



application engineering, and customer experience teams to ensure seamless development, integration, and optimization of our high‑speed memory solutions. Architecture and Design based on the latest protocol specifications for DDR and LPDDR devices Device support and CAD tool integration Verification (e.g. verification IP, methodologies, frameworks, bus functional models, regression tests) Customer technical support The actual salary offered may vary based on several factors, including the position’s location, as well as the candidate’s experience, skills, training, and job‑specific knowledge.

In addition to base salary, we offer performance‑based incentive opportunities that reward both individual contributions and overall company success.
