Reporting to the Director of Systems Engineering you will provide innovative solutions to our FPGA design effort. This is a unique opportunity to create first to market chip designs and to contribute to the future of ATE instruments within COHU Semiconductor Test Group products.\nThe job requires experience as a FW Engineering Manager responsible for leading a team for design and development equipment used in the semiconductor test industry. Also, the candidate must be very hands-on and not only have experience of FW architecture but also the selection and development of FPGA’s.\nThe job also requires coaching engineers and reviewing the design of engineers before design get released for prototyping.\nJob function involves interaction with other functional groups and coordination with outside design resources.\nMust be a self-motivated individual to work in a fast-paced high energy environment. This person must have project management skills including creating budget, resources assignment, schedules, as well as people management.\nEssential Duties and Responsibilities:\nThis role provides detailed technical engineering in concert with the experienced staff of the ASIC and FPGA group.
