Job Details:
Altera is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Logic Designer to contribute to the development of cutting-edge programmable logic devices. This role involves designing, verifying, and implementing complex digital logic for our next-generation FPGA products.
Job Title: Senior Logic/DSP Design Engineer – Mixed Signal
Location: Israel
Department: Analog Mixed Signal Serdes (AMS)
We are seeking a Senior Logic/DSP Design Engineer to develop digital logic and DSP algorithms supporting mixed-signal IP blocks (e.g., high-speed SerDes, ADC/DAC digital, calibration engines, and control logic). This role bridges the digital and analog domains — translating system-level and DSP algorithms into synthesizable RTL, and working closely with analog/mixed-signal architects to close the loop on calibration, equalization, and adaptive control.
What you'll do
Micro-Architect Design and implement digital logic (RTL) for mixed-signal subsystems — calibration state machines, digital filters, adaptive equalization, clock/data recovery digital loops, etc.
Collaborate with analog design teams to define digital-analog interfaces, calibration flows, and control logic.
Perform RTL-to-gate synthesis, timing closure, and low-power design techniques for mixed-signal digital blocks.
Build and maintain block level verification environments (Verilog) for digital logic tied to analog behavior (mixed-signal verification, AMS co-simulation).
Support silicon bring-up and debug — correlating digital logic behavior with analog measurements in the lab.
Document architecture, algorithms, and design decisions; participate in design and code reviews.
Mentor junior engineers on digital design practices within a mixed-signal flow.
Requirements
BSC/MSC in Electrical Engineering.
7+ years of experience in digital logic design, with exposure to mixed-signal or DSP projects.
Strong RTL design skills (Verilog) and synthesis flow experience
Solid understanding of DSP fundamentals (filtering, sampling, quantization, timing recovery).
Familiarity with mixed-signal verification methodologies (AMS simulation, Verilog-AMS, real number modeling).
Nice to have
Experience with high-speed SerDes, PCIe, DisplayPort, Ethernet or similar interface standards.
Exposure to calibration/adaptation algorithms for ADCs, DACs, or equalizers.
Familiarity with low-power design techniques and static timing analysis (STA).
Experience working directly with analog designers on digital-analog co-design.
