* Job Description:

**** About Altera
** Altera is a global leader in programmable logic solutions, delivering cutting-edge FPGA, SoC FPGA, and software technologies that enable innovation across data centers, communications, automotive, aerospace & defense, and industrial markets. Our engineers tackle some of the most complex design challenges in the semiconductor industry, working at advanced technology nodes to build high-performance, power-efficient solutions used by customers worldwide.
** About the Role
** The DSP Design Engineer will oversee definition, design, verification, and documentation of state-of-the-art, AI-enhanced DSP IP for next generation FPGA families. Involves analyzing complex DSP topologies and develops parameterizable and efficient IP implementations.  Will determine microarchitecture design, logic design, RTL coding, and system simulation. Performs all aspects of the design flow from high level design to synthesis.  Oversees physical design place & route, and timing and power model generation.  

You will be participating in planning and execution of design verification and silicon validation.  
** If you have strong DSP/arithmetic design background, and a passion for cutting-edge silicon development, the Silicon Design Engineering group would love to speak with you!
**** Responsibilities
* ** Design and implement high-performance DSP IP for next-generation FPGAs
* Contribute to all phases of the design lifecycle including specification development, RTL design, timing closure, power optimization, and design signoff
* Develop and optimize high-speed arithmetic circuits with a focus on performance, power, and area
* Perform datapath synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), and timing closure for advanced process technologies
* Collaborate closely with architecture, verification, physical design, and software teams to ensure robust and scalable solutions
* Support formal verification, logic equivalence checking, and design validation activities
* Participate in design reviews and provide technical leadership and mentorship within the team
** Salary Range
** The pay range below is for Bay Area California only. Actual salary may vary based on a number of factors including job location, job-related knowledge, skills, experiences, trainings, etc. We also offer incentive opportunities that reward employees based on individual and company performance.**$142,600 - $206,500 USD
