    Position Overview
    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 central to enabling customers to efficiently map complex designs onto advanced FPGA architectures.
    Altera is seeking a FPGA Compiler Engineer (Placer) to join our Compiler team in San Jose, CA. This role focuses on developing and optimizing FPGA placement algorithms within the compiler toolchain, directly impacting performance, power efficiency, and overall design quality.
    The ideal candidate brings strong expertise in EDA algorithms, large-scale system optimization, and FPGA/ASIC physical design flows, along with a passion for solving complex, performance-critical problems.
    Key Responsibilities:
    • Placement Algorithm Development:
      Design, implement, and enhance FPGA placement algorithms to optimize timing, congestion, and resource utilization.
    • Compiler Flow Enhancement:
      Contribute to the end-to-end FPGA compilation flow, working closely with routing, synthesis, and timing teams.
    • Performance Optimization:
      Improve runtime performance, scalability, and quality of results (QoR) for large and complex customer designs.
    • Timing-Driven Placement:
      Develop and refine timing-aware placement strategies to support high-frequency, performance-critical designs.
    • Cross-Functional Collaboration:
      Partner with architecture, routing, and STA teams to align placement strategies with FPGA device capabilities and constraints.
    • Debug & Analysis:
      Analyze placement quality, congestion hotspots, and timing bottlenecks; drive improvements to convergence and design closure.
    • Toolchain Integration:
      Integrate new placement capabilities into the compiler infrastructure and validate across diverse workloads.

    Why Join Altera?
    • Work on core compiler technology that directly impacts FPGA performance and usability
    • Solve challenging algorithmic problems at scale
    • Collaborate with world-class teams across architecture, silicon, and software
