IP Design Intern

About the role

Join Altera IP solutions team and work on cutting edge FPGA RTL and IP design! Altera's IP Solutions Engineering (IPSE) team develops comprehensive solutions to provide customers easy and efficient access to the capabilities of Altera's FPGA devices. These solutions are provided as highly configurable intellectual property (IP) cores that are fully integrated with Altera's software CAD tool, Quartus Prime. The External Memory Interfaces (EMIF) team is responsible for developing IPs for communication with state-of-the-art DDR and LPDDR devices. The ever-growing demand for faster and higher-density memories - especially in the data center and machine learning sectors - presents a challenging design problem that requires system-level knowledge of silicon, software, IP, and customer applications. You will work with a team of engineers to develop and verify state-of-the-art External Memory IP cores for interfacing with DDR5 and LPDDR5 memories. You will be working on advanced FPGA architectures, design definition, implementation, and verification. Additionally, you will also be developing design examples and simulation models, accompanied by a rich set of technical documentation. In this role, you will work closely with multiple teams, including silicon design and validation, post-silicon validation, application engineering, and customer experience teams, to ensure seamless development, integration, and optimization of high-speed interface IP solutions. Your specific responsibilities will include, but are not limited to the following: Architecture and Design based on the latest protocol specifications for DDR and LPDDR devices RTL development Device support and CAD tool integration Verification (e.g. verification IP, methodologies, frameworks, bus functional models, regression tests) Hardware power-on and debug New product release and rollout support Customer technical support The candidate should possess the following behavioral traits: Strong skills in communication, initiative, innovation, and teamwork Highly motivated to learn and adapt to fast-changing technologies and environments Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail Demonstrate fundamental values such as accountability, integrity, and a winning mindset Collaborative mindset, strong influencing skills, and a willingness to work across geographical locations Salary Our compensation is designed to reflect the Canadian labour market. The actual salary offered may vary based on several factors, including the position's location, as well as the candidate's experience, skills, training, and job-specific knowledge. In addition to base salary, we offer performance-based incentive opportunities that reward both individual contributions and overall company success. Estimated Salary Range: $85,000 - $95,000 CAD We use artificial intelligence to screen, assess, or select applicants for the position. This posting is for an existing vacancy.
