Job Details: Job Description: The   Lead Engineer will   be   responsible for   preparing, configuring,   validating , and   maintaining   FPGA development and test board   farm   used across   firmware   and   embedded   software development   and validation   teams.   This role ensures that all boards and associated hardware infrastructures are production-ready to support tool development, regression testing, compiler validation flows, and early silicon enabling.   The engineer partners closely with FPGA Design Tools developers, Hardware Engineering, Validation, and Lab Operations to guarantee a robust, scalable, and   highly reliable   board environment.   The successful candidate will be part of the Altera Software and IP Solutions (SIPS) Team.   Why this Role Matters?      The   Lead Engineer   plays a critical   and   foundational role   in leading and driving our Next Generation Board Farm that is scalable to support our customer obsessed culture . Although the work may appear “behind the scenes,” nothing in the FPGA toolchain ecosystem can function reliably without this role.   More o ver, the work directly   impacts   product quality and customer experience. Stable, validated software   component   leads to higher   reliability , fewer customer issues, and faster support turnaround. Every improvement they make silently enhances the   end-user   experience   with Altera   FPGAs.   The   candidate   is the silent force enabling every SIPS engineer - from firmware to embedded solutions - to innovate, test,   validate , and ship world class FPGA solutions. Key Responsibilities     FPGA Board Bring-Up and Configuration   Perform bring-up of Intel FPGA development boards , dev- kits   and customer   reference   boards for   Agilex ™, Stratix 10®, Arria 10®   and alike   Configure power rails, clocks, switches, MSEL settings, and peripherals according to board specifications   Program FPGA devices using solutions such as Quartus Prime Pro, Intel FPGA Download Cable, JTAG Chain Debugger, and associated programming utilities   Development Tools Integration   Set up boards that   interface with   FPGA development tool flows, including   c ompiler front-end and back-end flows , a ssembler, fitter, timing   engines   and b oard-aware compiler features   Validate board readiness for automation pipelines, nightly regressions, and release qualification   Board Validation & Debug   Perform initial board validation (power-on checks, rail measurements, temperature profiling).   Run smoke tests and functional validation using board test suites, IP testcases, and tool-generated designs.   Debug board-related failures using test equipment such as   JTAG chain diagnostics   and b us   analysers   Support issue reproduction for debugging by development teams   Automation & Continuous Integration Support   Create or enhance automation scripts (Python, Bash, TCL, PowerShell) for   a utomated board programming , p ower cycling , e rror logging , f irmware/config file deployment   Support integration of boards into CI/CD systems  and test flow automation stack including b ut not limited to enabling hard reset, soft reset, power cycle fl ows   Cross-Functional Collaboration   Work closely with:   Silicon Engineering   for early-silicon board enablement   Validation & QA teams   to ensure regression reliability   Board Design and Manufacturing   to evaluate new revisions and prototypes   Communicate board-level issues clearly with logs, instrumentation data, and reproducible steps   Debug and triage any test flow failures with test/validation owners, and   identify   failure points and debug options   Create a reference debugging methods and steps for test flow owners to distinguish between hardware/board or infrastructure failures with test flow failures   Qualifications: Bachelor’s in Electrical /Electronics/Computer Engineering or related discipline.   At least  6-8+   years of experience hands-on experience in firmware or embedded system validation.    Experience with FPGA development boards (preferably   Altera   devices).   Hands-on experience with Quartus Prime, JTAG tools, and board setup workflows.   Ability to read schematics, interpret power distribution networks, and understand board documentation.   Familiarity with oscilloscopes, multi - meters, power meters, and logic   analysers .   Strong problem-solving and root-cause-analysis skills.   Highly organized and methodical in tracking boards and configurations.   Excellent communication skills for reporting issues to cross-functional engineering teams.   Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment.   Passion for enabling stable, scalable, and automated FPGA development workflows.     Added advantages,   Experience with PCIe, DDR4/DDR5, Ethernet, HPS, or high-speed transceiver bring-up   Experience supporting compiler or software development teams using FPGA hardware.   Understanding of   Agilex   device architecture, tile configuration, and board connectivity.   Experience with Linux-based board environments, remote lab systems, and automation frameworks.   Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, TCL, Bash) used to integrate board support into tool flows or CI   Job Type: Regular Shift: Shift 1 (Malaysia) Primary Location: Penang 15, Penang, Malaysia Additional Locations: Posting Statement: All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, religious creed, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, military and veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by local law, regulation, or ordinance.
