Job Description:
Altera is one of the world's leading providers of programmable solutions. With a renewed focus on agility, software-first, and AI-driven solutions, Altera is shaping the future of computing by providing flexible technology, empowering innovators with scalable products, from high-performance to power- and cost-optimized devices for cloud, network, and edge applications. Join us in our journey to becoming the #1 FPGA provider in the world as we redefine the next era of programmable innovations!
About The Team & About The Role
The HPS Design Verification Team is responsible for validating the processor subsystem of Altera FPGA products.
As a SoC Design Verification Engineer you will have the opportunity to;
- Perform functional logic verification of an integrated SoC to ensure design will meet specifications.
- Define and develop scalable and re-usable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to meet the required level of coverage and confirm to microarchitecture specifications.
- Execute verification plans and defines and runs emulation and system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and performance, and uncover bugs.
- Replicate, root causes, and debugs issues in the pre-silicon environment.
- Find and implement corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
- Collaborate and communicate with SoC architects, micro-architects, full chip architects, RTL developers, post-silicon, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
- Document test plans and drives technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
- Incorporate and execute security activities within test plans, including regression and debug tests, to ensure security coverage.
- Maintain and improve existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
-
Absorb learning from post-silicon on the quality of validation done during pre-silicon development, updates test plan for missing coverages, and proliferates to future products.
Our compensation reflects the cost of labor within the US market. 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.

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 โ making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
Weโre looking for a true legend โ someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. Youโll 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. Itโs 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 ๐
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML ๐ค
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking ๐ง
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity ๐ฐ
- Remote work possible ๐
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.
