Altera is an American programmable logic company whose field programmable gate array business was founded in 1983, acquired by Intel in 2015 and separated again as a standalone company in 2025 when the private equity firm Silver Lake took a majority stake. It designs FPGAs and structured application specific integrated circuits used where a design must be reconfigurable after manufacture, which makes them common in communications infrastructure, industrial control, automotive, aerospace, defence and test equipment. Headquartered in San Jose, the company sells its Agilex and Cyclone device families alongside the Quartus design software engineers use to program them.

Job Description:
Position Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated Design Verification (DV) Engineer to verify Design-for-Test (DFT) and test-related logic for complex SoC and IP designs on our flagship FPGAs. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive pre-silicon verification plans, creating UVM-based testbenches, and ensuring high-quality silicon through rigorous verification methodologies.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute verification plans for DFT and test logic features, including scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, and related infrastructures.
- Create and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
- Develop reusable verification components, sequences, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage models.
- Verify DFT architectures and test modes at IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
- Perform functional, regression, and coverage-driven verification.
- Analyze simulation failures, debug RTL and testbench issues, and drive root cause resolution.
- Collaborate closely with DFT architects, design engineers, validation teams, and physical design teams.
- Review specifications and provide feedback on testability and verification requirements.
- Track verification metrics, functional coverage, code coverage, and regression results.
Qualifications:
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with SoC-level verification.
- Familiarity with ATPG concepts and test pattern generation.
- Knowledge of low-power verification methodologies.
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.
- Understanding of CI/CD and automated regression environments.
- Experience mentoring junior verification engineers.
