Staff Software Development Engineer

There is energy here…energy you can feel crackling at any of our international locations. It’s an energy generated by enthusiasm for our work, for our teams, for our results, and for our customers. Lattice is a worldwide community of engineers, designers, and manufacturing operations specialists in partnership with world-class sales, marketing, and support teams, who are developing programmable logic solutions that are changing the industry. Our focus is on R&D, product innovation, and customer service, and to that focus, we bring total commitment and a keenly sharp competitive personality.

Energy feeds on energy. If you flourish in a fast paced, results-oriented environment, if you want to achieve individual success within a “team first” organization, and if you believe you can contribute and succeed in a demanding yet collegial atmosphere, then Lattice may well be just what you’re looking for.

The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic team responsible for designing and developing Lattice FPGA software tools, with a strong focus on place and route engine development. They will contribute to delivering high-performance software solutions that support advanced security workflows like Isolation Design Flow for FPGA design, emphasizing optimization of QoR metrics such as performance, area, runtime, and memory utilization across various FPGA architectures. Collaborating closely with other developers, the candidate will help build and enhance place and route tools for multiple FPGA product lines. Responsibilities also include supporting customer needs, developing new software features, maintaining existing tools, and working cross-functionally to deliver integrated, value-added solutions.
