Job Description:

As an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Software Engineer within Altera you will be working on one of the most fascinating technology used in big data centers - The Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). You will research, design, develop, and optimize software tools that enable the use of FPGAs. Our engineers develop and optimize compilers, flows, models, tools, and runtimes that are closely coupled to FPGA silicon and IP. You will be learning about FPGAs and hardware logic design in your day to day job activities and utilize your software skill set to design, develop and optimize software abstractions and frameworks for acceleration with the FPGA for domains such as deep learning, DSP algorithms, or data analytics. You will have many opportunities to respond to customer/client requests or events as they occur. 

In this role you will be developing the software for Quartus tool that programs the next generation of FPGA devices. Your scope of responsibilities will include but are not limited to: 

• Developing high quality C/C++ software code for enabling placement and mapping of  peripheral components in FPGAs. 
• Owning, developing and enhancing tools that automate the Device Modeling of peripheral components of FPGA 
• Owning the hardware/software co-design architecture of various blocks 
• Designing and implementing new features based on the hardware/software co-design architecture as well enhancing existing features while maneuvering your way through a huge code base 
• Owning various analytical/logical/CAD tasks involved in device modeling and compilation of various peripheral components 

Our compensation is designed to reflect the Canadian labour market. 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.
