VLSI DESIGN POSITION OPEN FOR VLSI DESIGN MANAGER IN NORWAY The Kongsberg company Elektronikkindustriens Testsenter(ETS), the major Norwegian company for qualification and testing of LSI- and VLSI-components, is in the process of establishing a department for design center services. We are looking for an experienced design engineer (gate arrays, standard cell and full custom) looking for career advancements, and ready to take managerial responsibility. The person we seek will probably be in this thirties, ready to take reponsibility for building up a design team and opening up a new business sector at ETS. ETS is a share company owned by the 35 major Norwegian electronic companies, serving the owners as well as other customers in Scandinavia. We are developing test programs for and testing the major share of application specific circuits so far designed by Norwegian companies. We will now offer design services, mainly to the many medium sized and smaller companies that do not have their own design group. ETS will initially specialize in gate array design, aiming at a large field of customers. However, after having established ourselves firmly in this lower market end, we want to grow with our customers through standard cell into full custom design. Because of our special position in the Norwegian market this will be given first priority. Later expansion into the other Nordic markets will follow. Kongsberg is a small town of 25000 inhabitants located in the valley of Numedal 50 miles south-west of Oslo. The town is an old silver mining town with industrial traditions going back to the sixteen hundreds.
