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:

We are seeking a Physical AI Solutions Architect to lead the design and delivery of next-generation robotics, drones, medical, industrial and quantum compute systems that combine AI, real-time control, and heterogeneous compute (CPU/GPU/FPGA).

This role is responsible for defining end-to-end system architectures, driving customer engagements and PoCs, and translating advanced Physical AI concepts into production-ready solutions.

The ideal candidate bridges sense-think-act physical AI pipeline, and hardware acceleration, with a strong focus on low-latency, deterministic, and scalable systems deployed in real-world environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Physical AI System Architecture. Define full-stack architectures spanning sensors, perception, localization, planning, control and actuation. Design Sense-Think-Act pipelines with strict latency and determinism constraints. Evaluate hardware/software partitioning, especially CPU vs GPU vs FPGA mapping
  • Customer Engagement & Solution Delivery: Lead technical engagements with physical AI customers. Translate customer requirements into architecture proposals and solution roadmaps and deliver:
    • Technical presentations and executive briefings
    • System-level design recommendations
    • Competitive positioning vs GPU/CPU alternatives
  • Proof-of-Concept (PoC) & Prototyping: Drive PoC development to validate architecture and performance, and work with engineering teams to build demos
  • Physical AI Strategy & Market Development:
    • Analyze physical AI market trends, customer needs, and competitive landscape
    • Define physical AI solution stack (hardware + software + middleware)
    • Reference architectures for key segments
  • Contribute to white papers, technical blogs, and training materials

Qualifications:

  • Must have BS/MS, PhD preferred in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 10+ years' experience in physical AI including robotics, drones, AI systems, or solutions architecture
  • Strong expertise in one or more domains: Robotics systems and AI/ML for robotics.
  • Experience with:
    • ROS / ROS2
    • FPGA platforms (RTL, HLS) - Preferred, but not mandatory
    • Real-time control systems and deterministic processing
    • E2E robotics control loop architecture
    • World modeling and point cloud generation
    • Motion planning
    • Physical AI SDK
  • Familiarity with:
    • Sensor fusion, localization, motion planning, control loops
    • VLA and VLM models

Travel Requirements: 30%
