About the role
Altera is seeking a Senior Lead Design Engineer - RTL Design to provide hands-on technical leadership for the RTL architecture, design, integration, and delivery of next-generation FPGA and programmable SoC solutions. This is a technical leadership, individual-contributor role for an engineer who can set technical direction across complex subsystems, product generations, and global engineering teams. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Demonstrated technical leadership delivering complex digital designs from architecture and microarchitecture through RTL, verification, integration, implementation, and post-silicon or hardware validation
- Deep hands-on expertise in Verilog and/or SystemVerilog RTL development, synthesis, lint, CDC/RDC, formal or equivalence checking, timing constraints, and implementation-aware design practices
- Strong understanding of architectural and RTL-level tradeoffs involving bandwidth, latency, congestion, buffering, throughput, power, area, timing, and reliability
- Experience leading design execution across multiple functional blocks or complex subsystem integration, including technical planning, risk management, schedule alignment, and prioritization
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate and influence across architecture, design verification, physical design, DFT, CAD, firmware/software, system validation, and product engineering organizations
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly communicate design intent, technical risks, and recommended solutions to diverse audiences

In this role, you will lead the implementation of high-performance, reusable RTL for programmable devices and platform solutions. You will translate system and product requirements into robust microarchitectures, define scalable implementation strategies, and guide execution from early concept through RTL delivery, verification, implementation, hardware validation, and product readiness. The successful candidate combines deep RTL design expertise with sound systems judgment and a high bar for quality, performance, power, and schedule.
- Lead RTL architecture, microarchitecture, and implementation for complex FPGA, programmable SoC, and infrastructure-class subsystems, with emphasis on high-throughput datapaths, memory access, interconnect, packet or data processing, and programmable...
