TL;DR · Senior Applied AI Engineer, Product Simulation

As a Senior Applied AI Engineer, Product Simulation within the Silicon Co-Design Group, you will lead the reconstruction of the silicon productization toolchain using artificial intelligence. You will develop simulation and configuration engines to manage power controller interplay, voltage-frequency operating points, and binning yields while translating chip behavior into firmware-ready contracts. Your daily work involves building agent harnesses with custom tool registries, webhooks, and trace capture, alongside performing eval-driven development for applied AI in production environments. You will utilize Python to build data pipelines and LLM-backed systems that support subject matter experts. The role requires expertise in silicon characterization outputs such as speed, power, voltage noise, and binning. You will solve complex problems regarding how AI can optimize and automate the transition from pre-silicon estimates to firmware values for high-performance computing products.

What you'll do

  • Simulate power controller interplay, voltage-frequency operating points, and binning yields to improve performance and efficiency.
  • Translate silicon product optimization workflows into context engineering using composable skills and orchestration layers.
  • Integrate silicon productization tools into a custom agent harness including tool registries, webhooks, and trace capture.
  • Lead eval-driven development for applied AI by performing error analysis on real silicon workflows.
  • Develop automated scorers of hardware reasoning and CI regression gates to protect product quality.
  • Define the team's AI direction and mentor engineers to raise the technical bar for AI integration.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in EE, CE, or CS (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of experience in silicon bringup, firmware, or productization engineering.
  • Experience deploying multiple production Python services and data pipelines.
  • Experience developing at least one LLM-backed system used by subject matter experts.
  • Ability to read and interpret silicon characterization outputs including speed, power, voltage noise, and binning.
  • Proficiency in evaluating and implementing new AI tools shortly after their release.
