FPGA IP Design Engineer Intern

Job Description

Altera's NoC functional 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.

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. 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.

As an IP Design Engineer-Intern, you will work with a team of engineers to develop and verify state-of-the‑art NoC-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.

• Architecture and Design based on specifications for NoC IP RTL development
• Device support and CAD tool integration
• Verification (e.g., verification IP, methodologies, frameworks, bus functional models, regression tests)
• New product release and rollout support
• Customer technical support

• 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

Estimated Salary Range: $90,000 - $95,000 CAD
