In this role, you will be developing the software for Quartus, the tool that programs the current/next generation of FPGA devices.

• Quartus is used by all FPGA acceleration technologies (including OpenCL, HLS, Intel FPGA AI Suite, etc).

• At the heart of Quartus is our Place and Route engine which is responsible for transforming HDL to bits such that a user's design is optimized for area and Fmax.

• Cross-functional interactions with various customers (internal and external).

• Customer's hardware requirements: Fmax, throughput, timing closure, power and area, and also board/system-level integration.

• Compiler SW optimizations: optimizing algorithms for runtime and memory, building high-quality reusable software components and infrastructure.

As part of the Compiler team, your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Developing the software that supports optimized placement and routing of the latest next generation FPGA devices.

• Making innovative FPGA hardware features accessible via easy-to-use software interfaces.

• Enhancing tools and infrastructure to allow the Compiler operations to be used in new and innovative ways.

• Implementing new features in addition to root-causing and fixing the existing ones, while maneuvering your way through a big code base.

Ideal candidates exhibit the following behavioral traits:

• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills, as well as attention to detail.
