About Altera
At Alteraâ˘, our independence as the worldâs largest pureâplay FPGA solutions provider gives us the focus, speed, and agility to innovate without compromise. With more than four decades of industryâleading FPGA expertise, our singular mission is to deliver the programmable technologies that help customers differentiate, innovate, and scale across rapidly evolving markets like AI, cloud, networking, and edge. As an independent company, we move faster, invest deeper, and partner more closelyâempowering our teams to drive breakthrough innovation and shape the future of the FPGA industry.
About the Role
Altera's NoC functional team develops comprehensive solutions to provide customers easy and efficient 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.
We build IP cores to enable the use of a high speed NoC used to communicate between core fabric and peripheral components such as memory, PCIe and the hard processor system. These IP cores provide configurable access to the high-speed, high-bandwidth interconnect that is used by most customers that require some form of packet processing, storage or buffering, and thus, these IP cores become a critical component of most electronic systems.Â
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 NoC 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.
Responsibilities
Architecture and Design and RTL development based on specifications
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.
Salary Range
Our compensation is designed to reflect the Canadian labour market. The actual salary offered may vary based on several factors, including the positionâs location, as well as the candidateâs 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.â
Estimated Salary Range: $98,900 - $143,000Â CADâ
