About Altera
For decades, Altera has been a leader in programmable logic solutions, enabling customers across aerospace, automotive, data center, communications, and industrial markets to deliver innovative, high-performance systems. As part of our continued growth, we are expanding our mixed-signal and analog design capabilities to support next-generation FPGA and SoC platforms.
About The Role
As a Mixed Signal Design Engineer you will be part of a team designing various mixed-signal circuit designs on Altera FPGAs such as voltage regulators, bandgaps and bias circuits, Analog to digital converter (ADC), Delay locked loops (DLLs), high speed clock distribution and other clocking circuits, IO circuits such as high voltage IO, RCOMP/SCOMP, memory circuits etc. on advanced processes nodes and have an opportunity to work on a diverse set of blocks and tasks in all phases of the design. The ideal candidate will be an independent self-starter who can own/design a custom analog or digital IP. An important part of this role is delivering all aspects of the design and collateral, including timing and reliability collateral. In addition, you should be able to drive transitions to AI tool-based design. You should be a motivated team-player who is able to work with cross-functional and cross-geo teams to understand, articulate and solve problems .
Responsibilities
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.
$127,400 - $180,400 USD
We use artificial intelligence to screen, assess, or select applicants for the position. Applicants must be eligible for any required U.S. export authorizations.
