Job description

Job Details:Job Description:

Altera is a leader in FPGA innovation, delivering programmable solutions that power AI, cloud computing, networking, and edge applications. Our compiler and tools teams are at the core of enabling customers to efficiently map complex designs to cutting-edge FPGA architectures.


Position Overview

Altera is seeking a Senior FPGA Compiler Engineer (Routing) to join our team! This role focuses on the development and optimization of FPGA routing algorithms within the compiler toolchain, directly impacting performance, power, and usability of next-generation FPGA devices.

The ideal candidate brings strong expertise in EDA algorithms, graph-based optimization, and FPGA/ASIC design flows, along with a passion for solving complex problems at scale.


Key Responsibilities

  • Routing Algorithm Development:
    Design, implement, and optimize FPGA routing algorithms to improve performance, routability, and timing closure.

  • Compiler Enhancement:
    Contribute to the FPGA compiler flow, including placement, routing, and timing-driven optimization.

  • Performance Optimization:
    Analyze and improve runtime, memory efficiency, and scalability of routing algorithms for large designs.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:
    Work closely with architecture, synthesis, timing (STA), and hardware teams to align routing strategies with device capabilities.

  • Debug & Analysis:
    Investigate routing congestion, timing violations, and design bottlenecks; develop solutions to improve convergence.

  • Toolchain Integration:
    Integrate routing features into existing compiler infrastructure and ensure robustness across diverse customer use cases.

Our compensation is designed to reflect the Canadianlabourmarket. The actual salary offered may vary based on several factors, including theposition'slocation, 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.
