Full Job Posting

Education and Experience

  •  Advanced degree in Computer Science with specialization in ML/AI
  •  Advanced degree in physics, electrical engineering, signal processing, or a related scientific domain preferred.
  •  3–5 years of applied ML/research experience, or equivalent depth from an advanced degree in a quantitative field.
  •  In-depth understanding of the scientific method: ability to design experiments, form hypotheses, and both ask and answer ambiguous questions independently.
  •  Applied experience with modern ML/AI techniques: retrieval-augmented generation and knowledge-graph retrieval, model fine-tuning, and agent frameworks.
  •  Experience designing evaluation methods and benchmarks for AI/ML systems, with the statistical rigor to know when a result is real versus noise.  Strong programming fundamentals and Python fluency, sufficient to build and iterate.
  •  Working familiarity of AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, or similar) by default, not because a policy directs you to.  Demonstrated ability to scope and solve ambiguous technical problems independently.
  •  Excellent written and verbal communication; must be able to explain research findings and tradeoffs to cross-functional partners who don’t share your technical background.
  •  Semiconductor industry familiarity, particularly in semiconductor testing, ATE, or EDA tools preferred.
  •  Understanding of software engineering fundamentals and best practices.
  •  Evidence of self-led learning into new technical areas outside your formal training.  Exposure to GPU/server hardware and at least one LLM inference or fine-tuning runtime (e.g., vLLM, Hugging Face Trainer/PEFT).
  •  Knowledge of C++ for performance-critical or hardware-adjacent work preferred.
  • With more than 3000 employees worldwide, we offer challenging and rewarding work experiences, generous employee benefits and a strong company culture. If you are looking for a global publicly traded company that provides you with international experience and a challenging work environment, then Cohu is your choice. Connect with Cohu... Connect with your future...
  • Compensation: The estimated base pay range for this position is $125,000 - $175,000 per year, depending on qualifications, experience, education, and other job-related factors. This range represents Cohu’s good faith estimate of what it reasonably expects to pay for this role upon hire. This role may also be eligible for other compensation programs as determined by company policy. Featured benefits
  • Medical, dental & vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company matching contributions
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan
  • Tuition assistance
  • Disability & life insurance
  • Profit Sharing
  • Cohu firmly supports the U.S. national and various state and local policies of equal employment opportunity which are designed to provide equality of employment and advancement opportunities to every individual without regard to unlawful considerations of race, color, religion, national origin, citizenship status, ancestry, gender, gender identity or gender expression, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, medical conditions, pregnancy, genetic information, military or veteran status or any other legally protected category. In addition, reasonable accommodations are available to qualified disabled individuals, upon request. Globally, Cohu is committed to full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing employment, in the U.S. and in all other locations around the world where we have operations.

Preferred Qualifications

  •  Advanced degree in physics, electrical engineering, signal processing, or a related scientific domain preferred.
