About the Role
We are seeking an AI Engineer to design, implement, and deploy advanced agentic AI systems. In this role, you’ll build production-ready AI agents that can reason across multiple steps, leverage a mixture of proprietary models, integrate with semiconductor design tools, and operate autonomously over a long period of time.
You’ll work with state of the art frameworks to create pipelines that combine LLM-based reasoning, knowledge grounding, and multi-agent orchestration. This is a high-impact role where you’ll partner with research and engineering teams to translate cutting-edge chip design workflows into reliable, scalable agentic solutions for real-world use cases.
