Senior FPGA Engineer

Seeking a Senior FPGA design engineer with 7 to 15 years of experience.

In this role, you will drive innovative solutions in the Semiconductor Test Group at Cohu.

At Cohu, semiconductor test solutions span digital, RF, and mixed signal applications.

This role is an exciting opportunity to design challenging solutions for semiconductor test instruments.

You will be involved in all stages of product development from initial concept through release to manufacturing.

You will be working alongside other FPGA designers as well as collaborating with software and hardware engineers to drive compelling FPGA solutions to solve complex system requirements.

This role is for FPGA implementation to support key functions across multiple test instrument families.

This includes:

• High speed PCIe
• High bandwidth DDR memory
• Waveform generation and digitization
• DSP implementation
• Precision analog signal control and calibration

Work activities involve:

• FPGA design using AMD and Intel FPGA devices
• RTL design and simulation
• System-level FPGA architecture definition and translation of instrument requirements into RTL implementations
• High-speed interfaces and memory subsystem design including JESD, PCIe, DMA, and DDR4/5
• Board-level debug, and lab bring-up using standard lab equipment
• Revision control and configuration management
• Collaboration with software and hardware engineers to ensure proper integration of a complete test instrument
• Interaction with other functional groups and coordination with outside design resources
• Must be a self-motivated individual to work in a fast-paced environment
• Generation of technical documentation and reports
