- Integrate across RTL, DV, and physical design flows
- Build reusable agent frameworks and orchestration layers
AI Guardrails & Governance
- Define and enforce AI guardrails, including:
- Data privacy and IP protection
- Token usage and cost optimization
- Access policies for different teams
- Ensure AI usage aligns with enterprise-grade security standards
LLM & Tooling Expertise
- Evaluate and recommend LLMs and AI tools for different use cases:
- Continuously benchmark and optimize model selection across:
- Stay current with advancements in:
Enablement & Training
- Train engineering teams to:
- Effectively use AI tools and agents
- Build their own custom AI agents
- Apply prompt engineering best practices
- Create documentation, playbooks, and templates for:
- Drive a culture of AI-native engineering
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- 12+ years of experience in AI/ML, systems, or platform engineering
- LLMs and generative AI systems
- Building AI-powered tools or platforms
- Designing scalable AI infrastructure (cloud and/or on-prem)
- Agent frameworks and orchestration systems
- API-based and self-hosted models
- Data security, privacy, and IP protection in AI systems
- Strong software engineering skills (Python required)
Good to Have
- Experience working with semiconductor or EDA workflows
- RTL, verification, or physical design flows
- Air-gapped or secure AI deployments
- GPU clusters and distributed training/inference
- Prompt engineering techniques
- Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
- Workflow automation systems
- Exposure to DevOps / MLOps practices
Key Attributes
- Strong systems thinker with end-to-end ownership mindset
- Ability to bridge AI and domain engineering (EDA/SoC)
- Highly proactive with a builder mentality
- Passionate about transforming traditional workflows using AI
- Strong communication and influence across teams
Success in This Role Looks Like
- Adoption of AI across engineering workflows
- Measurable improvements in productivity and quality
- Effective deployment of AI agents across multiple domains
- Secure and scalable AI infrastructure
- Reduced cost and improved efficiency of AI usage
- Engineers enabled to independently build and use AI agents
