About the role
Altera is seeking a Custom-Analog Design-Automation Lead to drive analog design automation and engineering productivity across the custom-analog design organization, with a strong emphasis on AI-assisted design flows. This role owns the strategy and execution for automating analog design tasks, embedding AI/ML-driven methodologies into the design cycle, and scaling productivity gains across multiple design teams.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- 12+ years of experience in custom-analog circuit design and/or analog design automation, combined with hands-on experience in design automation and/or AI-assisted methodologies
- Demonstrated ability to develop and deploy design automation methodology across multiple teams, not just within a single project
- Expert-level scripting and automation ability (Cadence SKILL, Python, Tcl, shell), sufficient to build and maintain production automation rather than extend what already exists
- Demonstrated application of AI/ML to design or verification workflows, taken past proof-of-concept into production use by engineers other than the author
- Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence design practices across fabric, SerDes, and IO teams
