Job Description:
As a RTL Design Hardware Engineer within the Software Performance and Integration group, you are expected to work on the RTL underpinning Altera's System-on-Chip integration tool, Platform Designer, FPGA Debug Environment Tools such as SignalTap and System Console. The goal of this team is to implement powerful embedded hardware systems using a straightforward flow from design creation through debugging and performance optimization. The team is responsible for development of RTL for various soft IPs, including an on-chip Memory Mapped Interconnect ( AXI/APB/AHB/Avalon) , streaming protocols IPs ( AXI / Avalon ), debug IP such as signaltap, ISSP, ISMCE, bridge and adapter IPs and supporting a full stack of tools which assemble these IPs in interesting and dynamic ways.
Responsibilities
As a Hardware Engineer in this position, you will need to be excellent at digital design with expertise in VHDL/Verilog/System Verilog with responsibilities as listed (but not limited to) below:
- Lead a team of dedicated RTL design Engineers to build soft IPs for Altera FPGAs
- Coming up with newer versions of on-chip transfer protocols aimed for high speed for our latest FPGA’s using hyperflex architectures
- Developing new Interconnect topologies to maximize data transfer throughput over long distances
- Extending support for industry standard Memory Mapped and Streaming protocols
- Developing robust IP and networks which customers use in mission critical debug environments
-
Work with RTL Design Verification team to review and supervise the verification of the IPs developed
- Work closely with developers across software, IP and embedded engineering to ensure we develop design flows that meet our customers' needs
- Guide IP release content, and serve as a liaison with the support, field, marketing, and product planning organizations
- Research, define, and validate key customer use cases
- Create reference RTL designs and regressions tests
-
Use Altera FPGA design tools like our customers to identify usability and productivity problems or missing features
Qualifications :
- BS/MS/PhD degree in Electrical/Computer/Software Engineering or equivalent and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
- Strong understanding and knowledge of digital design/Timing Closure concepts/Fundamentals of Verification/Hardware Debug
- Strong experience in Verilog and System Verilog
- Understanding of Computer Architecture/ARM Based Bus Protocols
- Understanding of other communication protocols will be plus
- Knowledge of Quartus or Vivado tool flow is a plus
- Tcl, Perl, and/or Python scripting skills
- Dedication to customer experience and usability
- Strong written and oral communication skills
-

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
