About the role
Altera is seeking a Senior Lead Engineer, Design and Architecture to provide technical leadership for the architecture and development of high-performance silicon and platform subsystems across our programmable device portfolio. This is a senior individual-contributor role for a hands-on architect and design leader who can define complex SoC and interconnect solutions, drive critical design decisions, and guide execution from early concept through production silicon. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, with 15+ years of experience in semiconductor, ASIC, SoC, or FPGA product development
- Strong understanding of architectural tradeoffs involving bandwidth, latency, congestion, throughput, power, area, timing, and reliability
- Experience working across the silicon development lifecycle with design, verification, emulation, physical design, DFT, firmware/software, and post-silicon teams
- Proven technical leadership in driving complex cross-functional decisions, resolving ambiguous problems, and influencing engineering teams without direct management authority
