Job Description: 

In Q4 2023, Intel announced Altera will be reported as a separate business unit beginning on January 1, 2024 with ongoing support from Intel. This position is associated to that standalone business strategy and is expected to fully transition to a standalone company at some time in the future.

The Planning System Architect is an industry-specific subject matter expert who splits their time between customer engagements and core Product Planning teams responsible for Silicon, Tools, and IP at Altera. This critical role involves two key functions. First, the Planning System Architect will work with Sales and key customers to develop winning value propositions and architecture proposals for customers using Altera devices. Second, the Planning System Architect will take key learnings and technology trends back into Altera's Planning and Architecture core teams to improve future product definition.

The successful candidate will need to navigate complex customer architectures, trading off performance, sizing, and power to optimally tune the FPGA design to customer platforms. Additionally, the successful candidate will need to articulate the learnings from those customers engagements to core planning teams to ensure future products will enable emerging technologies as they materialize.

At Altera, we strive to ensure that our FPGA families service the entirety of the FPGA market by providing versatile silicon platforms, diverse IP portfolio, and a robust software tool suite. The Planning System Architect role is critical to ensure we're building the right products while Altera emerges as the largest remaining independent FPGA company in the world.
