Job Title Silicon ML Engineer II
Job Description The Silicon ML Engineer (II/III) develops AI-driven capabilities for silicon design and verification workflows by infusing hardware domain knowledge into modern AI and large-model systems. This role differs from an Applied Scientist or MLE role by requiring close integration between machine learning methods and semiconductor design processes, data, and constraints. The engineer will build domain-aware ML/LLM and agent-based systems and translate research prototypes into production-grade tooling used in silicon design flows. Level will be determined based on experience, technical depth, and scope of ownership.
