About Altera
Altera's sellers win FPGA sockets: a field sales engineer or account manager works a customer's architects from the first system discussion to a design win and on into production volume, carrying targets for new opportunities, design wins and revenue tracked in Salesforce. US seats sit where the OEMs are: a senior field sales manager holding Tier 1 and major OEM accounts in the Bay Area, an account manager for major OEMs who must live in the Los Angeles area and hold an electrical engineering degree, and a New England territory run from Greater Boston, each needing eligibility for US export authorizations. The Central EMEA field sales engineer, remote from Berlin, is cut one of two ways depending on the hire: territory coverage through distribution customers and channel partners, or a short list of strategic customers whose pricing, contract terms and volume commitments the seller owns. In Asia the order desk is part of sales: commission-eligible inside sales reps in Tokyo own their accounts' forecasts, quotes, design registrations and distributor margins, a Penang sales service team runs direct, distribution, consignment and sample orders, and a Beijing sales analyst on a fixed-term contract builds revenue forecasts. Presales depth comes from sales applications engineers in Taiwan and Tokyo and physical AI solutions architects in Shanghai and Marlow, UK, who design robotics and drone systems and run proofs of concept against GPU and CPU alternatives, with a sales account manager seat in Shanghai as well.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Altera
Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026
Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: US postings print one yearly range and say it reflects a sales role paid as salary plus incentive, set from US labor costs and moved by location, knowledge, skills and experience, so the figure is a target total with no base to incentive split given. Outside the US no posting read states pay: the Tokyo inside sales postings describe the roles as commission-eligible or commission-based without a figure, and the Berlin, Taiwan, Shanghai, Beijing, Penang and UK postings name nothing, the Beijing sales analyst being a fixed-term contract hire. Ask what share of the range is base, whether the incentive pays on design wins, on revenue or on distributor resale (and how long a design win takes to turn into credited revenue), how quota is set for a territory versus a strategic-account seat, and whether the offer carries equity.
